General Information

PE Excuses:
Elementary: A parent may provide a written note excusing their child from PE activities for up to three days. After the three days, a doctor's note will be required for any extended excuse. The nurse will keep the original doctor's note and communicate the limitations to the PE teacher and classroom teacher.
Junior High: A doctor's note will be required for any excuse over three days. All days must be made up except a long-term leave.
High School: A doctor's note with restrictions will be required for any PE or weight lifting excuse. A doctor's excuse should be taken to the nurse. The nurse will keep the original and provide a copy for the PE/weightlifting teacher. The student must report to the assigned PE/weightlifting class each day. All days must be made up at the discretion of the teacher.
Feminine Products:
Elementary, Junior High and High School students are responsible to provide their own feminine hygiene products. We do have back up available.

Cody Elementary, Riverdale Heights Elementary, Forest Grove Elementary, Junior High School and the High School are fortunate to have a therapy dog on site. Please alert the main office of any concerns including student allergies.
