Wellness and Athletic Excuses

Wellness (physical education) and Athletic Excuses:

Medical excusal, for wellness/P.E. or athletics, occurs due to injury, concussion, surgery, and medical conditions.

All wellness (physical education) and athletic excusal documentation should be emailed to the nurse, or brought to the nurse in the nurse's office prior to the class or activity. 

Documentation should be completed by a medical provider (MD, DO, NP, or PA) and on practice/department letterhead.

The note should contain any accommodations the student may require. EXAMPLES: elevator access if requiring crutches, assistance to carry backpack/books, extra time between classes, or rest in the health office as needed.

The nurse will email the teachers and will discuss recovery with the Athletic Trainer.
