PHYSICAL EDUCATION RULES At the beginning of each term, students participating in a physical education class will receive classroom policies and procedures from their teacher both in written form and verbally in group settings. Students will be asked to meet face-to-face with their teacher to verbally commit their understanding of the dress codes, jewelry rules, and swimming procedures. Students and parents will be asked to sign a copy of the written policies and procedures to acknowledge that they have read and understand them. Physical Education – Excused From Class Single day requests to be excused from physical education should be made by the student through their physical education teacher. The teacher will send the student to the school nurse if the condition warrants. The request for a physician’s medical excuse must be initiated by the parent/student. Copies of the excuse will be filed with the school nurse, the Physical Education Department Chairperson, and the High School Office. If the medical excuse is for a period of time less than one month, the physical education teacher will keep the student in class in a non-participatory capacity. If the medical excuse is for a period of time more than one month, the student will have an action plan outlined by a doctor and a Physical Education teacher. Students may not participate in intramural and interscholastic athletics if medically excused from physical education. In the case of a permanent medical excuse, the graduation requirement of one and onehalf credits must be earned in a pre-arranged program developed by the Physical Education Department Chairperson and the Department of Public Instruction.
