Frequently asked Questions:
-
My child was absent. What should they do upon returning to class?
Your student needs to find out if there was a workout on the day or days they were absent If so, they’ll need to arrange with their teacher to run a mile in order to make up the missed workout. If student was out due to a medical excuse on file with the attendance office, missed workouts will be excused.

What's the difference between a parent note and a doctor's note?
In short, a doctor's note is from a physician or doctor which will excuse a student from participation and from having to make up any physical workouts for the duration of their injury/illness. A parent note allows a student to receive a modification work-out on the day the note is written (anything over 3 days the student will need to be seen by a doctor). Ex. Injury to foot student may be given sit-ups or arm work-out.

I sent a note excusing my child from PE/ATHLETICS participation. Why have they lost credit?
A parent note excuses a student from participating in the work-out that day but they will receive a modified work-out to replace the grade. However, should a workout take place that is much more extraneous, students must make up the missed points from the workout on a day when they are healthier.
