Register interest for summer PE on the Lafayette website. Rising 12th graders are offered seats first, then rising 11th graders and so on. If your student weren’t to get a seat this summer, chances increase for the next summer.
Health can be completed online via eSchool. Stop in the guidance office for a Health form the first of May; the course could be completed in the summer even if not in summer PE.
Cost for summer PE and eSchool Health is approximately $150 each.
