However, if your child needs to be excused for more than one week, a doctor’s note is required. This note should should include the duration and reason.

...PARENTS!
While I aim to provide your child with the means and the knowledge to achieve a healthy lifestyle, you are the most influential component to your child becoming a healthy individual for his/her lifetime. As a family try to plan active family outings or set aside time as a family to do something active every day.
