What happens if my child is injured or ill and cannot participate in PE?

Posted by:
If a student is injured or ill and unable to participate in Physical Education, he/she must bring a note from his/her parent or doctor to be excused. It is the STUDENT’s responsibility to get the assignment at the beginning of class.
 
The note is to be given to the teacher immediately upon entering the gym, prior to roll being taken and before the class exits the gym to their designated class area.
 
Notes must include:
 
o    Student’s FIRST and LAST NAME

o    DATE(S) to be excused and DATE ISSUED

o    MEDICAL REASON

o    PARENT/GUARDIAN and/or DOCTOR SIGNATURE

o    PHONE NUMBER

PARENT/GUARDIAN NOTE:

o    A parent note is good for 1-3 days (must be specified on the note) and then a doctor’s note is required.

o    The note is due the day of non-participation (at the beginning of class prior to roll being taken).

DOCTOR’S NOTE:

o    Student will be excused from dressing and participating in physical activity. An alternative written assignment will be given. It is the STUDENT’s responsibility to get the assignment from the teacher on a daily basis at the beginning of class (prior to roll being taken).

 If the student should miss any fitness tests during his/her time of injury or illness, then he/she will need to attend a MAKE-UP MONDAY session to complete their test.  MAKE UP MONDAYS are on designated Mondays, after school in the gym.  Any of the 3 PE teachers can administer the test, the student records their score, and then are dismissed.  A zero (0) will show in the grade book until the test has been completed.
