    Physical Education Excuses

    If a student needs to be excused from Physical Education for medical reasons, a note from the parent should be brought to the Nurse’s Office after reporting to homeroom. If the excuse extends beyond 3 days, a note from a physician will be necessary.

    If a student is excused from Physical Education for a fracture, operation, or extended illness, a note from a physician must be presented to the Nurse before the student is allowed to resume class.

    Our Physical Education program has been developed to individualize instruction for students with medical limitations. This allows all students to participate in class each day.
