Physical Examinations

Physical Education Excuses

A parent note excusing a student from physical education class is acceptable for up to and including 3 days.

A doctor’s note is required if a student needs to be out of physical education class longer than 3 days.

Any doctor’s note excusing a student from gym class needs a doctor’s note clearing the student to return to gym class.


The student should then proceed to the Health Room to complete an alternate Physical Education assignment in lieu of class participation.



A student who is out of physical education class due to a medical reason should report to the gym each day for attendance.



*It is important to have your child examined by their physician at least once during each developmental stage, at early childhood (preschool through grade three), pre-adolescence (grade four through six) and adolescence (grades seven through 12).
