PE Options
JHS Counseling Statement
JHS Counselors believe that physical activity is a foundational part of learning and a healthy lifestyle. We do understand that there might be special circumstances that prevent students from participating in traditional PE classes. Please see the below special circumstances:
In accordance with RCW 28A.230.05, individual students may be excused from participating in physical education (PE) otherwise required on account of physical disability, employment, or religious belief, or because of participation in directed athletics or military science and tactics or for other good cause.

LWSD Physical Education options
To earn a high school diploma, students must earn two health and fitness credits. 1.5 credits represent the fitness portion of the requirement, and are met by course work in physical education (PE). The other .5 credit is met by taking a health course.
There may be special circumstances where a student may have an alternative option to meet this requirement. Students must fill out the Appendix E of the graduation policy and have it approved by a principal or designee to be eligible for this option. The alternative Physical Education option is available for high school juniors and seniors.
The Fitness Plan is a cognitive, written assignment. Students will have three opportunities to submit a Fitness Plan during the 2023-24 school year. The plan is offered to students beginning in the students’ 11th grade school year.
The Fitness Plan is a district wide option, please use the contact below to contact the coordinator with any questions.
