Physical Education Waivers may be requested to waive P.E. during 6th, 7th & 8th grade if students are involved in a private or commercially sponsored physical activity program that leads to Olympic-level competition. These programs must involve a minimum of 15 hours per week of highly intense, professionally supervised training.  6th, 7th & 8th-grade students may submit a request for a P.E. waiver under the following conditions:

• The student trains in a high-level individual athletic, dance, or equestrian program through an outside provider that is above & beyond local youth sports activities & competes at a regional, national, and/or international level. 

• The organization providing the off-campus physical activity has been approved by the Lake Travis ISD School Board prior to the beginning of the new school year.

• Completed paperwork must be submitted by June 7, 2025.  Waivers will not be approved after the June date. Paperwork requesting a P.E. waiver can be obtained on the district website under Families > Off-Campus Physical Education (OCPE). Letters of participation/credit form from the supervising agency are to be delivered to the counseling office.

• Students must be enrolled in the program for the entire school year. The waiver will occur during the last period of the day.

• Progress reports must be returned by the trainer/coach to the school counselor every 9 weeks so that credit can be awarded.

6th-grade students MUST complete the Exam by Acceleration for 6th-grade Health to have the PE Waiver approved as Health is taught in conjunction with 6th-grade physical education or dance-based PE course. Complete information regarding PE Waivers, including the actual application, as well as information about the Health Exam by Acceleration can be found on the district website.
