Team Sport vs. EEPE:

EEPE is a course for students who wish to take an alternative physical education course outside of Conestoga High School.  The course is supervised by an adult, not a parent, who verifies that the student completes at least 30 hours of physical activity during the semester. In order to receive credit for the EEPE course, a student must submit an application, at the beginning of the semester and a verification form at the conclusion of the semester.  The course MUST be listed on the student’s schedule in order to submit the application.

• The following Conestoga Club teams are considered as EEPE: Crew, Rugby, Ice Hockey and Squash. Students planning to participate in one of the above sports must be signed up for EEPE during the corresponding semester and will need to complete all necessary EEPE forms.  

 

Team Sport is a Conestoga recognized sport that is supervised by the Athletic Department at Conestoga High School.  Student who select to engage in this alternative physical activity agree to complete the season in order to receive credit for the Team Sport course on their schedule.  Team Sport must be on the student’s schedule in order to receive credit for Team Sport in the assigned semester.
