Off-Campus Physical Education

Weatherford ISD Off-Campus Physical Education (OCPE) Program 

Consideration may be given to students enrolling in Weatherford ISD after the application deadline.

Applications can be submitted via email to Kendra Odell-Smith ([email protected])

The purpose of the OCPE Program is to accommodate students who are making a serious effort to develop higher- level skills in a specific activity that exceed what the school district can offer through the general physical education program. The OCPE Program allows students in 7th through 12th grades to earn credits that meet the district and state physical education requirements. Students will be expected to be physically educated, along with being physically active. They will be expected to show accountability of skill development, learned physical activity and health concepts and social development through participation in their selected physical activity and written and tested assignments that are based on the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills for Physical Education.

The OCPE Program is a partnership between Weatherford Independent School District and approved off-campus agencies that provide activities such as: Dance, Diving, Equestrian, Fencing, Gymnastics, Martial Arts, Swimming and Tennis. Only practice hours may count towards the state required time. Game days and competitions will not count toward the total weekly participation hours. Agencies must provide an alternative place of instruction during inclement weather. Students will receive a numerical grade for each six weeks period and a final numerical grade for the semester. The Physical Education Department will be responsible for supervising the OCPE Program standards to ensure that each student receives a quality, off-campus physical education experience.

If you wish to join the list to receive more information about becoming an approved OCPE agency, please contact our office at 817-598-2804.
