Guidelines for keeping your child home Guidelines for keeping your child home

Physical Education 
 
Doctor's notes excusing students from physical activity must be handed in directly to the nurse. An alternate assignment may be given to students who are excused from P.E.
If a student is able to participate on a limited basis, it must be explained in writing. The teacher will modify physical activity, if appropriate.
An excuse note exceeding three days may not be from a parent. Extended excuse notes must come from a doctor.
All doctor's and parent's notes must include:
  • the date
  • student's name
  • reason for the excuse from physical activity
  • return to activity date, or a new note will be required
STUDENTS WITH INJURIES
To ensure the safety and well being of all our students, please advise the nurse of any injury that may alter or interfere with your child's functioning during the day. Any student returning to school on crutches will need a doctor's note with a diagnosis and duration of the use of crutches. 
Email Updates
Please make sure you update your email addresses in the parent portal. We frequently use email to communicate IMPORTANT messages and have recently discovered that quite a few are not working. 
Thank you for your cooperation. 
Student Health Services
As mandated by state law, all students will be screened for height, weight and blood pressure every year. Students in 7th grade will also be screened for hearing and scoliosis. A scoliosis opt out form will be sent to your email separately. Students in 8th grade will also be screened for vision.  If you do not want your child to receive these services, please notify the Health Office in writing by the 15th of September.
Medication in School
If your child requires prescription or over the counter medication during school hours, parental/guardian written permission and doctor's orders are required. For your convenience, the medication administration form may be downloaded and returned to the Health Office. Students are not permitted to carry medication in school.
