Physical Education Restriction:

• A medical provider must provide a note excusing the student from PE or limiting activity for a specific length of time. Please have your provider fax a note to 315-218-3086. Please ask for an ending date for this restriction.

• Sometimes a student has a health problem that may prevent them from doing some activities, but allow them to participate in others. This permits them to stay physically active without causing themselves harm AND receive credit for participation. For example student may walk, do upper body activities, or use weight room. The note we receive from their doctor must be specific to allow this to happen. Please feel free to contact us if you have questions regarding a situation like this.
