Physical Education

Physical Education is a required course for graduation.  An excuse from Physical Education participation for more than two weeks can be granted ONLY by Physician’s order.  This order should contain the following information:

·          The reason for the excuse.

·          The length of time for which the excuse is valid.

The excuse-order should be brought to the Main Office where the Nurse will make a copy and the student will take that copy to the Physical Education teacher who will decide further action – i.e.;  remain on sidelines in gym or be placed in a study hall by the Guidance Department.  If no time limit is specified on the excuse, it is valid only until the next appointment with the physician.

Restricted physical education activity orders must state the type of activity allowed and length of time of the restriction.

An excuse from participating in one physical education class for a minor ailment is allowed only by a note written and signed by the parent for that particular day.
