Sports Waiver/Independent Study:
 
If a student has a medical condition that prohibits successful fulfillment of the WFS sports requirement of one team sport (or participation in the winter fitness program) a year, he/she may petition the Athletic Director for a waiver of the requirement. If a student is a competitive athlete in a sport not offered at WFS or a dancer involving significant year-long time commitments outside of school, he/she may petition the Athletic Director for a waiver of the requirement. Petitions must be proposed in time to be considered fully before the start of the school year. The Athletic Director may consult the division head and the Program Committee before making a decision.
