What is a Physical Development Waiver and how do I obtain one?
Seniors who are registered for year-long classes in mathematics, modern language and science may apply for a one-semester waiver for physical education. (Two year-long mathematics and one science, two science and one mathematics also qualify. The rule is 3 year-long academic electives) Participation in an extra-curricular sport does not meet physical education requirements for graduation. Students may obtain the Request for Physical Education Waiver form from their counselor. 10. If I am interested, how may Honors and/or Advanced Placement classes should I take? I don’t want to be too stressed. Honors and Advanced Placement classes qualify the individual for acceptance to more selective universities, e.g. UCLA. If you are interested in a more selective university, you should take the advanced classes you qualify for in each academic department. If you are experiencing difficulty with an advanced class or your course load, you should quickly make any appointment with your counselor.
