Procedures for Medically Excused Physical Education Students
Students may be excused for 1 class by their parent/guardian or
one week by the school nurse. If a student is excused for more
than 5 school days, then that student needs a Doctor's note to
be excused. This is handled through the nurse's office. When a
Doctor excuses a student, a Physician' Referral form needs to be
filled out by them (click on the following link- Physician'
Referral form). The doctor lists what activities/exercises that
the student can participate in. This information will be used by
the teacher to set up an individual program. This will be
established with the student, teacher and Director of Physical
Education. This program will account for the 40% participation
grade, the remainder of the grade is, 30% attitude, skill,
effort, 20% tests, 10% notebook. Some individual programs that
have existed in the past are: weight training, walking programs,
swimming at a local pool, research projects, notebook projects,
academic packets, and
