Types of Excuses:

1. Excuses for one to three days (minor ailments and minor injuries such as colds, sprained ankles, etc.) - the student needs a written note from his/her parent/guardian. These notes are not to be taken to the health service specialist but are given to the physical education instructor at the beginning of class.
   If there is a question about the validity of the note or the number of days excused, the instructor may send the student to the health service specialist for verification with the parent/guardian.
2. Excuses for more than three days - the student must obtain a written excuse from the doctor and have it signed by the school health service specialist before giving it to the physical education instructor. If the student is out of physical education longer than three days, the instructor and health service specialist will determine if the student should be assigned to an adaptive physical education situation, remain in the class with no modifications, or be assigned to a Study Hall for the remainder of the trimester.
