-
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.
