Schedule and Grades

After the application is reviewed, a confirmation email to parents will be sent out. A report will be sent to all counselors listing all approved OCPE students. At that time the counselors will put OCPE on the student’s schedule.

1. Off-campus physical education will not be on student's schedule until approval from the OCPE office.
2. Parents and students need to confirm that OCPE is on the student’s schedule at the beginning of each semester and the student is receiving a grade for each nine weeks.
3. OCPE will not show up on schedules for students enrolled in Category 2. The grade will be posted to the student's transcript at the end of each semester enrolled.  If you have any questions, please check with your school counselor.
4. The OCPE office does not set student's academic schedules.

• If your student experiences an injury/illness but is able to attend school, he/she is required to attend their regularly scheduled OCPE training as well. They may receive instruction through observation until they are able to participate at full capacity. If the student’s injury/illness persists longer than three classes, the parent must submit a doctor’s note detailing injury/illness, when the student is expected to recover, and detail of student level of participation during injury/illness to the Plano ISD OCPE staff for documentation. We strongly discourage a student to drop after the grading period has begun but will refer to campus specific withdrawal procedures. 
  If your child's injury/illness prohibits them from observing/receiving instruction at their OCPE training site, they must remain on campus during their scheduled class period. You will need to work with campus administration and counseling to establish an appropriate location during the class period and the student will report to that location daily. Students that are not able to attend OCPE training due to injury/illness must remain on campus and not leave early.

No, the program is only open to students in grades 6-12.

Even though a student might meet the sport and training requirements to participate in the Off Campus PE program, the campus will need to determine if they can create a schedule to accommodate the Off Campus PE request.

After the application is approved by the OCPE office, the counselor at the student's home campus will change his/her schedule, in the event they can create a schedule to accommodate the request, to reflect off campus PE. The OCPE office does not set academic schedules.

No, only one instructor and one training facility can be submitted on the application for approval. The instructor listed will be requested to sign an agreement stating he/she verifies the training schedule submitted is correct and he/she will be responsible for submitting attendance and grades.
