Medical Excuses: (top)
Medical excuses from activity are not considered non-participation days as long as the student is present in class and does not exceed 7 days. A student on a medical excuse will receive Credit (C grade) for the period of time on the medical excuse. If a student wants to earn a higher grade for the period of time on the medical it will be up to the student to arrange to make-up any work missed on an individual basis.
A medical excuse (Doctor’s Note) for more than 7 days in a grading period will result in an incomplete grade. If a student is on a medical for more than 15 days in a quarter the student will be transferred out of Physical Education with no credit.
Tardy Policy: The physical education department will follow the school tardy policy. (tardy less than 30 minutes – 3 equals an absence; tardy more than 30 minutes equal an absence)
