Off Campus Physical Education (OCPE) Program
Off Campus Physical Education Program
The purpose of the OCPE Program is to accommodate students who are making a serious effort to develop higher-level skills in a specific activity that exceeds what the school district can offer through the general physical education program. The OCPE Program allows students in 6th through 12th grades to earn credits that meet the district and state physical education requirements. Only agencies who have been trained and approved by GISD can provide OCPE credit.
Applications must be submitted to your student's school counselor. All applications will be reviewed by the school counselor and then submitted to an administrator for approval.
There are two categories of OCPE:
Category One: These programs involve a minimum of fifteen (15) hours per week of highly intense, professional supervised training. Students qualifying at this level may miss one period per day. The student would be required to follow this schedule for at least a full semester.
Category Two: These programs are to be of high quality, well supervised by appropriately trained instructors, and consisting of a minimum of five (5) hours per week. Students certified to participate at this level MAY NOT be dismissed from any part of the regular school day.
Students who enroll in OCPE must submit a grade and attendance report to the campus registrar before the end of the grading cycle.
