Application Form

Athletics for Physical Education

The East Aurora School District allows seniors to participate in Interscholastic Athletics in place of Physical Education under the following circumstances:

1.  The student-athlete must participate in and complete the season in three interscholastic athletic programs in one school year, including a Fall sport,  Winter sport, and Spring sport.

2. The student-athlete must show proof of participation and completion of the season in three interscholastic athletic programs the year prior to applying for this exemption.

3. The application is available via a google form link on the left-hand side of this page. It must be completed by the date indicated for a student-athlete to be considered for the following school year.  

Points of Emphasis:

• The only allowable excuse for not completing a season is documented proof of injury or illness by a personal physician and/or school doctor disqualifying the student-athlete for the duration of the season.  If this occurs, the Director of Health, Physical Education, and Athletics will create a plan to address the unfulfilled requirements.  

• A violation of the Code of Conduct or Academic Eligibility Policy will immediately disqualify the student athlete from being eligible for exemption, despite his or her continued participation on an interscholastic athletic team.  Time missed in Physical Education class must be made up to receive credit for graduation.  

• A student who decides not to fulfill their commitment to the Athletics for Physical Education requirement after beginning the process or if they do not make a team, must make up time missed in Physical Education class in order to receive credit for graduation.
