Please notify the school if your son/daughter obtains a serious injury.
The safety of our students is of the highest priority.
Gym Excuses:
A doctor's note should indicate the length of time the student needs to be excused from gym. If the note says "no Gym until cleared by MD", a clearance note must be provided before the student may return to Gym class. This may also impact school activities (Field Day, etc).
A parent can write a note to excuse a student from gym for a maximum of two days per school year.
All gym excuses need to be brought to the School Nurse.
Brace/Splint/Sling/Cast:
A doctor's note is required for any student that needs to wear a brace, sling, or cast in school. The doctor's note should state the length of time during which the brace, splint, sling, or cast will be used and/or the date of the next follow-up appointment. The note should also indicate any restrictions that the student may have.
Note: Slippers/flip-flops are never permitted in school. Students must wear appropriate footwear.
Crutches:
A doctor's note must indicate the need for crutches and the length of time the crutches are required.
Notes:
This building has stairs. There is no elevator/lift.
Transportation to / from school on crutches: It is necessary that the parent/guardian transport the student on crutches to/from school. Transportation will not allow students with crutches on the bus.
