PE Waiver request forms for the
2007-08 school year are available at
CCISD intermediate and elementary
schools. Ask your counselor for
these blue forms. We also have a
blank form
here for use by those who will
be requesting a PE waiver for the
fall, 2007 semester.
For those new to the process, a PE
waiver is a procedure whereby an
athlete's documented participation
in an organized athletic activity
outside of school — such as our
AQUASTAR club swimming — allows the
student to skip PE classes at school
and have a study hall period
instead. Each school year
requires a PE waiver request
application.
The key word is "documented
participation." Here is the
procedure that must be followed:
1. Obtain the 2007-08 blue PE waiver application form from your
school, or this
download.
2. Complete the form and give
to an AQUASTAR parent-on-deck at the
pool, to give to Coach Harold. He
will then verify your eligibility
and sign the application form, and
return it to you, along with
a "program description" that tells
the CCISD what your athlete does in
practice. Note the waiver requires
at least 5 hours/week of practice in
weeks where CCISD is in session.
3. Forward the completed signed
form, and program description
write-up from Coach Harold, to the
main CCISD athletic office. You may
mail it to the League City address
on the form, or fax to the district
athletic office at 281-284-9907.
You may then want to confirm with
your campus counselor that they have
received the information from the
district at some time later, when
the next semester schedules are
being generated.
4. Once the semester starts — i.e.,
the first day of school in August or
January — PARENTS MUST TRACK
THE ATHLETE’S DAILY
ATTENDANCE AT AQUASTAR PRACTICE.
Many use a small wall calendar like
those given away at Walgreen's,
etc., and write in each daily block
the location and hours practiced for
each day of the month when the
athlete attended practice. Others
track via a written daily log. But
the key is to track every day
in a way that Coach Harold can
verify against our own daily
attendance-tracking.
Here also is a calendar to download for
your use.
5. Turn in your attendance
tracking into Coach Harold a
week before the end of each
9-week grading period. He must have
time to verify and then get the
information to the schools. He will
assign a numerical grade for the
student’s report card. MAKE SURE COACH
HAROLD KNOWS THE COUNSELOR WHO
SHOULD RECEIVE THE INFORMATION, AND
FAX NUMBER OF YOUR SCHOOL.
Space Center
Intermediate can supply a form to be
filled in, and with the fax number
on it (281-284-3305), for example.
Here is the form for Space Center.
For 2007-08, the due dates at Space
Center Intermediate are: October
19, January 11, March 14 and May 30.
These are the dates the grades from
Coach Harold are due to the
counselor.
NOTE: In addition to practice
attendance requirements, 10% of the
PE waiver grade reported by AQUASTAR
is predicated on whether the athlete
attended a meet during the 9-week
grading period or not. Meet
attendance earns the full 10%; no
meet attendance earns a 0% for that
portion of the PE waiver grade
(meaning that not attending a meet
during the 9-week period, but
successfully meeting the practice
attendance requirements, would earn
an overall grade of 90).
