To earn credit, students must complete a Directed Athletics Form by their sports season specified date. Fall athletes deadline to complete the Directed Athletics Form for fall is October 20th , Winter December 1, and Spring March 9 .
The form can be obtained from the main office, counseling office or students advisory teacher. After obtaining signatures from a parent/guardian, athletic director and physical education department heard, students will gain access to a twelve week online course called Directed Athletics.
