Illness:
A written note from a parent or guardian will excuse the student from the physical activity for two days only. A doctor’s note must be obtained if the student is going to miss more than two days of participation.

Activity Units:
The majority of our units are co-educational with both boys and girls participating and competing against each other. Please keep in mind that we will always keep the safety of the student first and foremost in our class!
