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