Attendance
Physical education is required by the state of Washington and students must participate unless there is some special reason/circumstance.
A student will be excused from participation for one week (this equals 2 Elementary P.E. classes) with a parent note.
A doctor’s note is required for any illness or injury requiring recovery time longer than one week.
Medical: If your child has any medical conditions, please inform and give the proper documentation to the office. This information needs to explain the condition, symptoms related to the condition and any restriction from participation (dates of restrictions must be included). Doctor’s notes must be updated annually for chronic conditions.
Illness: A student with a temporary illness, such as a cold, may be excused from participation for one week (2 classes) with a note signed by the parent or guardian. A doctor’s note is required for any illness or injury requiring recovery time longer than one week. The note must state the nature of the condition and the length of time the student is to be excused from activity.
If your child feels ill during school or is hurt during recess, in order to be excused from PE they must inform their homeroom teacher or the office first and then that information will be communicated to me through them.

Absence: If your child is absent, has a home/doctor’s note or I have been informed by LCS staff to excuse your child, they will receive an A (absent) or an E (excused) for that day and their grade will not be affected.
Make Up Assignments: In most cases make up assignments will not be required if your child misses PE; however, there will be special circumstances when a make-up assignment will be required (ie., prolonged absences, missing in-class graded assignment, missing special events, etc.).
All students are expected to participate in PE. The only exceptions would be if a student has a note from a parent/guardian/doctor/teacher. If your child is not present and participating (moving their body) they are not learning.
