PE Credit Options
To earn a high school diploma, students must earn 0.5 credits of Health and 1.5 credits of PE. We encourage all students to fulfill their graduation requirements here at school. However, there may be circumstances where a student needs an alternate option in order to fulfill this 1.5 requirement of PE. This alternative option requires the student to demonstrate competency/mastery of the knowledge portion of physical education and engagement in physical activity by successfully completing the district-administered Fitness Assessments (2 assessments that can each meet 0.5 requirement of PE) and the Athletic/Activity Log (meets the third and final 0.5 PE requirement).
Students who use this alternate PE option will not be eligible to be a TA or have a late start or early release.
Students may apply for approval during the second semester of 11th grade. Fitness assessments are administered during 12th grade only. Due to this, students are HIGHLY ENCOURAGED to complete their PE requirement throughout their 4 years at RHS and not rely on this option.

How to apply for approval:

Step 1: Complete the Appendix E form on Skyward. You will need to submit one form for each 0.5 requirement you are trying to fulfill through the alternate pathway. Please note: the options must be done sequentially and according to the chart. If you only have 0.5 or 1.0 requirement remaining of PE, you cannot apply for option 3.
-
Step 2: Once approved, you will be notified through Skyward, in "My Messages".
-
Step 3: Register for the assessment(s). Once you see your approved Appendix E in Skyward AND you are in 12th grade, you may register for the assessment(s) via the link provided in the approval message.
