PHYSICAL EDUCATION EXCUSAL POLICY
1. If a student has a note from a parent excusing him/her from PE on a given day due to illness, the student will complete an alternative PE assignment as determined by the PE teacher. For each day a student has an excuse note for PE, he/she will complete the alternative assignment. The PE teacher will determine when the assignment is due.
