10. Class Exemptions<br />
Exemption from participating in physical education classes must be obtained<br />
from the student’s physical education teacher. A note from the student’s parent<br />
or doctor stating the reason for the exemption request should be brought to the<br />
teacher at the beginning of the student’s P.E. class period. A copy or second<br />
note should be given to the school nurse.<br />
11. Policy on Co-curricular Participation When Absent or Tardy<br />
A student may not participate in or attend any co-curricular activity on the day<br />
when he does not attend classes. This non-participation policy includes<br />
practices, rehearsals, <strong>and</strong> dances.<br />
A student must be present for five or more class periods of the day to be<br />
eligible to participate in or attend a co-curricular activity. However, if a student<br />
leaves school early during sixth or seventh periods, he is not allowed to<br />
participate in or attend a co-curricular activity.<br />
The Asst. Principal for <strong><strong>St</strong>udent</strong> Life may make exceptions to this rule, but such<br />
exceptions will be made rarely <strong>and</strong> only when an extraordinary reason has<br />
caused a student’s absence from class. 6 successive days of jug after school<br />
will be the consequences for violation.<br />
