Parent Notes are NOT accepted. Parents need to call 637-1250 (ext. 2114, 2115) before their student has PE, to excuse them for their PE class.

Students are required to dress out unless otherwise stipulated by the parent. Instructors will use common sense with weather conditions and/or the severity of the medical problem.

Doctors' notes are to be taken to the nurse. For excuses up to 6 weeks, students will be graded by the grade to date. Excuses for more than 6 weeks will require a schedule change. Class will need to be repeated if credit is an issue.

A doctor's release is necessary for a student to return to class participation. This release must be taken to Nurse's Office.
