P.E. Waiver Guidelines

Waiver of credits for Physical Education may be granted for students who are pursuing a rigorous course of study at Poudre High School, and due to time constraints, may not be able to schedule P.E. courses. Under these conditions, the following guidelines will apply to any student seeking a waiver of P.E. credits:

· Foundations of P.E. and Health will not be waived.
