Physical Education

All students at AMS are required to participate in the school’s physical education program unless prevented from doing so for medical reasons. There are no excused absences, except physical ones, from this important phase of learning.

If your child is limited by a physical handicap and cannot take physical education, a doctor’s statement to this effect must be sent to the school. Needless to say, the school will honor temporary excuses, written by parents, to cover minor illness. In the event that your child has suffered a fracture and a cast has been applied (we realize that this is an obvious excuse for no physical education), we require a note from the doctor (not parents), after the cast has been removed, indicating how long there is to be no P. E. or what limitations should be carried out. In the event that we don’t have any written and/or telephone response, it will then be required that a parent appear in the office of the nurse to clarify the physical capabilities of the student before he/she will be returned to regular classes.
