Alternative Medical Assignments
Alternative/Medical Assignments
Alternative to Physical Activity in Physical Education
The New York State Department of Education does not recognize medical exemption from Physical Education; rather, student activity must be modified to suit the particular needs of the individual. Consequently, if students are unable to participate in Phys. Ed. due to medical restrictions, inadequate and/or unsafe clothing (no PE uniform), or for disciplinary reasons the Clarkstown Central School District offers students the opportunity of written assignments in order to maintain compliance with Commissioners Regulations.
Note - The written assignment is a substitute for Phys. Ed. participation credit due to the inability to actively participate for the above mentioned circumstances. Failure to submit a written assignment will result in a lack of participation credit for that day.
Written Assignment Directions
Written assignments may be used to improve a students quarterly Phys. Ed. grade in the "Participation" category only.
