Off-Campus P.E Requests

Off-Campus PE Requests Form

• Students will be expected to be physically educated, along with being physically active. Students are expected to demonstrate skill development, learned physical activity, health concepts, and social development.
• These skills and knowledge are tested through participation in their selected physical activity that are based on the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills for Physical Education.
  Applications must be submitted each school year. Applications are found on the Round Rock ISD or the Off-Campus PE website or the RRISD Athletics website, then the PE/Wellness tab.
• Applications will be carefully reviewed by the OCPE Program Administrator followed by a confirmation email sent to the parent with the approval or denial of the application.
• Registrars will be notified with a list of all approved OCPE students.
• The agency is responsible for keeping attendance, not the student. Students that abuse the program with irregular attendance will be withdrawn from the program.
• It is the responsibility of the agency to submit student grades. A student may not submit his/her own grade. Parents and students should contact the student’s counselor if a grade has not been received.

• General information and guidelines for the OCPE program will be updated and posted online in January for the following school year.
• Students wishing to participate in OCPE must apply each year for the following school year. It’s better to apply and not participate, than to not apply and want to participate. If in doubt, please submit an application by the deadline.
