 Register for six periods  Make sure you include alternates for any elective courses

Per OHSSA guidelines, students who are participating in and/or plan to participate in interscholastic athletics must be passing a minimum of five “solids” at all times . It is the student and parents responsibility to ensure these criteria are met to ensure eligibility requirements. We strongly encourage student athletes to enroll in more than five solids .

 Implement Physical Education Waiver  State provides this option for completing 2 full seasons of Interscholastic Athletics, Marching Band or Cheerleading  The waiver increases course options for students  Creates opportunities to customize their own academic plan  Not Retroactive

 Senior “Flex” Time  Students classified as Seniors have the option to attend school for only the courses needed  Allows customization of individual student academic plan  Develop written “ Individual Graduation Plan” for all seniors – Spring of 2017

 Consider the following CAREFULLY :  Athletes must have 5 periods for eligibility  What does your transcript look like for college applications?  What are your alternative options?  Your only senior year of high school  Morning or Afternoon?  Insurance
