PHYSICAL EDUCATION

Students in physical education classes are required to wear proper attire, appropriate to the activity and weather conditions. Other equipment needs will be explained when students begin their physical education classes. Students who need to be excused from physical activity because of illness for a period of three days or less should bring a note from home making such a request. The note must be presented to the School Nurse before the first period begins. A prolonged excuse from physical education requires a note from a physician. In the event that a prolonged absence is necessary, however, it is possible for a student to participate in limited activities approved by the family physician or be placed in a physical education class specially adapted for students with physical limitations.
