Student Injuries
Physical Education Exclusions In the event of illness or injury, a nurse may excuse a student from participation in physical education class. The student’s parent or physician must submit a written explanation of the condition preventing or limiting participation in gym class. The nurse will consider each request to determine whether the condition warrants a “limited” or “full” excuse from physical activities. Exclusions of 2 consecutive classes or more require a health provider’s note. Student athletes who are excused from participation in a PE class will not be allowed to participate in any athletic team activities occurring that same day. If a doctor or other health provider has written a note limiting a student’s physical activities then the parent must also obtain a note from the health provider indicating when the student is able to resume full participation in physical activities. Alternate educational activities may be provided for students with serious injuries requiring exclusions lasting several weeks or months. Physical education teachers will provide additional information about dress codes, participation expectations, make-up classes and grading policies.
