Parents may request that their child not participate in physical education classes for up to three consecutive days with a written note to the school nurse, who will then contact the teacher.
Physical education excuses for more than three days must be signed by a doctor with the exact time frame of day(s) a student is to be excused. The physician's office can fax notes directly to the nurse at 847-251-4086 Attn: Andrea Zito.
If a student with an injury can still participate with modifications per the physician, it needs to be explicitly stated on the note. Ex. student has a cast on their arm but can participate in non-contact activities.
Students who have been excused from physical education will not participate in physical activity at recess.
Recess
Students are expected to go outside for recess unless it is raining or extremely cold. The school makes that determination.
Unless we have a note from a physician, we do not keep children in from recess.
During the winter months and during other times, we may have inclement weather. Please send your child to school with appropriate clothing.
Boots and snow pants are required to play in the snow during the winter.
