Physical Education
Students who have medical concerns limiting physical activity for more than one class period must have a written note from a physician. The medical excuse must be specific in nature, describing exactly what activities are prohibited and what activities are allowed. If a student is completely restricted from physical activity, it is the responsibility of the physical education teacher to assign an alternative non-physical assignment(s). There will be no medical exceptions from physical education. All students must pass four years of physical education totaling two course credits.
Medication Guidelines
Medication must be administered by or be under the supervision of school nursing personnel.
A written order from a licensed prescriber is required.
A written statement from the parent or guardian requesting the administration of the medication in school as ordered by the licensed prescriber is necessary.
The parent or guardian must assume responsibility to have the medication delivered directly to the health office in a properly labeled, original container.
Medication is to be stored in a locked cabinet or separate locked drawer in the Health Office. Medication required refrigeration should be refrigerated in a secure area.
Under special conditions, students may carry and self-administer medication. A written order from the prescriber and a written request from the parent should be on file in the Health Office.
