Medical Make-ups

PURPOSE:  To continue to educate our students about physical fitness, wellness, nutrition and sport when they are unable to participate actively in the physical education class. 

BASIC PROCEDURES:

1.     Bring the medical note to the nurse.  She will fill out a Mohonasen Physical Education excuse. 

2.     Bring the Mohonasen P.E. excuse to your Physical Education Teacher.

3.     Your teacher will fill out an internet pass for you to bring to the library.

4.     All medicals must go to the school library for the duration of their assigned physical education period.  You may not go to any alternative locations to do this work.  If the library is closed report to room 27 or 47 to complete your make-up work for the day.  There is NO group work, you are to complete the project ALONE! 

5.     The student must sign in on the medical make-up sign in sheet.  

6.     Students will then work on the designated PHYSICAL EDUCATION assignment for the period.

7.     Failure to report to the library and sign in will result in a CLASS CUT! 

8.     Failure to work on the Physical Education assignment alone will result in a student being assigned to Internal Suspension. 

9.     You must HAND-IN your assignment to Ms. O'Keeffe or Mrs. Shaw AT THE END OF THE PERIOD. 

PROJECT GUIDELINES:

1.     For every 2 WEEKS a student is missing Physical Education, (5 class periods), you will complete a 3-4 page research paper.  This will be worth 20 Points. 

2.     For every day under two weeks (1 to 4 class periods), the student will complete an article critique.  That means you will do one critique for each day that you are out of class.  They will be worth 4 Points each.  

3.    For every MONTH a student is out of physical education, he or she will complete a Book Report (Click here to go to the long-term medical make-up page).
