Excuses for one to three days: A student who needs to be excused from physical education for one or two days must bring a note from the parent or guardian.  The note may be confirmed by telephone.  The student is to bring the note to the nurse for approval before physical education class and will attend class.  The student is required to dress for class, but will not have to participate.  If the class is involved in a required activity, the student may be required to make up the activity at a later date.

Short‑term medicals (nine weeks or less):  The nurse will confirm the verification from the physician, and the student will continue to go to class.  When authorized by the physician, the student will participate subject to whatever limitations the physician specifies.  The physician should be specific about activities that the student is to avoid.

Long‑term medicals (more than nine weeks):  Students with long‑term medical excuses from physical education classes must bring a letter of verification from their physician to the school nurse on the first day of school, or as soon as possible following a diagnosis.  The student will attend regular physical education class subject to the procedures for short-term medical situations until a program change to adaptive physical education is effective.
