It’s a good idea to take both required semesters of PE in 7th grade because it frees up more electives in 8th grade, some of which may count for high school credit.

Off Campus PE-Students may apply for Off Campus PE if they are involved in an Olympic-type of sport such as gymnastics, equestrian, lacrosse etc..that require more than 10 hours of practice a week. Let me know if this applies to your child.

** (Soccer does not apply to Office Campus PE)**
