INJURIES AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION (PE) EXCUSES

Students arriving to school with crutches or a cast/brace MUST see the nurse and have a physician’s note stating the diagnosis and requirement for use of crutches or cast/brace in the school. The note should state the duration of time that the student must stay out of Physical Education and the return.

Students with stitches must see the School Nurse before PE class. They will be excused from PE class until their stitches are removed.

Englewood Board of Education has an accident policy for students injured while in school. If your child is hurt in school, the School Nurse will complete her part of the form. It is the parent/guardian’s responsibility to complete and submit the remaining parts of the form. If you have any questions or concerns, please call the School Nurse.
