Off-Campus Physical Education

The Â鶹¹û¶³´«Ã½ ISD Off-Campus Physical Education Program (OCPE) is designed to accommodate students who are pursuing high-level skills in a specific activity that exceeds what the school district can offer through the general physical education program. OCPE allows students in 7th through 12th grade to earn credits that meet the district and state physical education requirements. In Â鶹¹û¶³´«Ã½ ISD, only agencies that have been district trained can provide OCPE credit. Part of the requirements include utilizing the AISD OCPE curriculum.

Students in OCPE are expected to be physically educated and physically active. They are expected to demonstrate skill development, learned physical activity, health concepts and social development.These skills and knowledge are assessed through participation in the selected physical activity and tested through written assignments and exams based on the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills for Physical Education.
