If you would like to have your student sit out of P.E. because of a personal reason or an injury, please send a note in with them. If they have a note with them, then they are allowed to sit out when they want and join in when they want. Some like to participate even when they are not supposed to, which if the note says they are not allowed to participate, then I have them sit out without question. A note is better than a phone call or a e-mail because I might not check my e- mail or phone messages until after your student has had P.E.. I really like it when the student hands the note to me, because I know I received it and the other students can see that I have a note.
