Students can earn 0.5 PE credit by completing 60 hours of approved physical activity outside the regular school day. Team practices, training rides, and races can count toward these hours when they are properly documented.

To receive credit, students must:

• Register for the PE Options program through WCSD Extended Studies
• Track their activity hours throughout the season
• Submit a signed activity log, typically verified by a coach

Full details, eligibility requirements, and registration information are available on the WCSD PE Options page:
