If your child is injured and unable to participate in physical education, please provide a letter from your healthcare provider detailing any necessary accommodations, such as assistive devices (e.g., a boot or crutches) and the expected duration of restrictions. Once received, we will notify all relevant staff. There are two categories of restrictions: full and partial. If your child cannot participate at all, they will be placed in a study hall during gym class. For partial restrictions, please ensure the letter from your provider clearly outlines what activities your child can and cannot do.

If the restrictions need to be extended, please contact your provider for an updated note. If your child heals sooner than expected, a clearance note from your provider will be required for them to resume gym activities.

In the event of a concussion diagnosis, additional steps are required for clearance. Please contact Mr. Karns, the athletic trainer (for sports-related cases), or me, Nivek Zayas, the school nurse, for further guidance.
