Please notify the school if your student sustains an injury.

The safety of our students is of the highest priority.

Gym Excuses:

• A doctor's note should indicate the length of time the student needs to be excused from gym.

• A parent can write a note to excuse a student from gym for a maximum of two days per school year.

• All gym excuses need to be brought to the School Nurse.

Doctor's Notes:

• A doctor's note is required for any student that needs to wear a brace, sling, or cast in school, as well as boots/surgical shoes and crutches.

• The doctor's note should state:

  • the length of time during which the brace, splint, sling, ace wrap, or cast will be used

  • the date of the next follow-up appointment.

  • any restrictions that the student may have.

Additional Concerns:

• Slides/Slippers/flip-flops are never permitted in school. Students must wear appropriate footwear.

Crutches:

• MEMS has stairs. The elevator is available for students requiring crutches or with leg injuries. The doctor should indicate necessary use of the elevator on their note.

• It is necessary that the parent/guardian transport the student on crutches to/from school. Transportation will not allow students with crutches on the bus.
