WHAT IF YOUR STUDENT TRYS OUT AND DOES NOT MAKE AN ATHLETIC TEAM?
Numerous athletic programs under UIL affiliation are offered for students in the high schools. Students who participate in these UIL sports may earn a maximum of 4 units in P.E. credit in these courses. Since these athletic teams compete with other 6A schools, students must try out for the teams by demonstrating strong ability in the skills needed for field performance.
If a student tries out and does not make the team, they will need to have their schedule changed to PE. This will be done by communicating with the counselors to ensure a schedule change can be made.This will ensure that students earn the one year credit of PE they need to graduate.
