John Jay High School

Students with medical issues that need exemption/restrictions from gym/sports must report to the nurses' office ASAP.

Students who are unable to participate in physical education must provide a doctor's note to the nurse.  This note should state the diagnosis or injury and the duration the student will be exempt from physical education.

If your child needs to use crutches, a cane, a wheelchair, a boot or any other medical device while in school, a doctor's order is needed.

Please have Dr Note specify:

• Medical diagnosis
• Medical device
• Length of time with exemption/specific restrictions
• Student in need of an elevator pass
• Extra time between classes
• Student helper

The Student Will Then Be Provided with a Blue Pass for Gym and, If Needed, a Pink Pass for Hallway/Teachers.
We Will Need a Clearance Note Written by the Doctor to Return the Student to Physical Education Class Unless the Original Note Contains a Return Date. 

***Any Parent or Guardian Note Is Only Valid for up to One Week. ***
