    Parent/Doctor notes for P.E. class              
     
    • There may be times during the year that a student will have limitations due to an injury or illness.  Students must have a note written by a parent to be excused from class.  This note is valid for up to one full week of school or three physical education classes.  A physician's note is required when a student must refrain from activity longer than one week. While students sit out of P.E. class, they work on classroom work or relevant P.E. activities.  Please provide a note from a physician when your child returns to school after removal of a cast, for example, to clear for safe participation. 
     

    We look forward to having a great year with your children in physical education class.  Please contact us via email, school phone or drop by and visit if you have any questions.  Thank you!
