Notes to Excuse from P.E.
If your child has a note to excuse them from P.E. please have them come to the Health Office. The P.E. note needs to be copied. Your child then takes that copy to their P.E. teacher at the start of their P.E. class and the
original is filed in their Health file.
If your child is going to be excused for a great length of time, their P.E. teacher needs a Medical Referral Form for Physical Education filled out by their physician. This form lets the teacher know the diagnosis and what the restrictions are, to better serve your child.
Student in a Cast or on Crutches
If your child is in a cast or is on crutches at school there is a form you, their parent, must fill out and sign. We must have a note from the attending physician stating that child may return to school and list restrictions with an approximate time limit. Please come to the front office and the Health Clerk will be happy to give you this form.
