MEDICAL EXCUSE:
When you have a minor injury or illness, your parent/guardian may excuse you from PE for 1-3 consecutive days by sending in a written note or email. Any excuse longer than three days requires a note from a doctor clearly stating the duration of the excuse and/or the expected date of return to full participation in PE.
When you are absent or on a medical excuse from a parent/guardian or doctor for 1-3 days, you are excused. Starting on your fourth consecutive day of missing PE for any reason, you are required to begin completing alternative, written PE assignments found in Google Classroom. We will discuss and agree upon how many of these assignments you must complete to clear your absences. Your daily scores will be 0 until those assignments are submitted.
