Injuries

*All students are required to participate to the “Best of Their Ability” in Physical Education.

1. If your child has a severe medical problem that the teacher needs to be aware of, please have the student bring a doctor’s note for the medical condition. Also, students who have asthmatic problems are not automatically excused from aerobic activities (including running). We encourage you to get a medical clearance from your child’s doctor enabling them to have their inhaler with them during physical education class.

2. Parents/Guardians may request that their child be excused from participation due to illness and/or injury for two days. On the third and subsequent days the note must be from a doctor. On the note please include: the student's first and last name, reason for not participating, the date, a phone number where a parent/guardian can be reached and a signature of the child’s parent/guardian. Students with a parental note will be required to dress out and observe and/or record activities.
