State Education Law requires that all students actively participate to the level of their ability in the school's P.E. program. Students presenting doctors' notes excusing them from "all P.E." will be excused for a few weeks only.Beyond that grace period, a description from the physician of what the student can do must be received by the Health Office.The original physician's note presented to the Health Office should contain the following information:- the diagnosis

The following form could be completed to assist the physician with item #2 (above). Please then return it to the Health Office ASAP.When the injury has completely healed, another note is required, stating that the child is cleared to resume full participation in PE/sports.
