Make Up Policy
Teacher class syllabuses are linked to their names in their bio.
Per NU PE Department policy you are allowed to make up 4 missed days of participation per semester. This includes both absences and medical days when you may be at school but are too sick to participate. The 4 days may be split between 2 physical activity make ups and 2 written article review make ups.
Physical Activity: 45 minutes of non-school affiliated activity makes up for one missed period. This can be riding a bike, hiking, stacking firewood, digging in the garden, etc. Parents will send in a signed note with both a description of the activity and the date that is being made up.
Article Review: Select an article with a topic concerning any of the games/activities we do during the year, health and fitness, or nutrition. After reading the article you will hand write a single page review annotating the content and also describing what you learned or found interesting. Bring your work to your teacher with your name, date, and period of class.
Other forms of make up can be done including physical activity on campus. Make up work can be up to the teacher's discretion.

Major Medical
Medical issues that arise which will keep you from participating in class for 1-2 days will be excused with a parent note. Anything keeping a student out for 3-5 days requires a parent/guardian call to the nurse’s office. This simply means they go in as medical days and not “non-participation” days. They must still be made up for credit.
If you are injured at some point throughout the course of the year (in the class itself or otherwise) to an extent that will cause you to miss more than 15 periods of class, semester credit will not be issued per PE Department Policy. Other serious medical issues that will keep you out longer than 5 days must be excused by a doctor’s notice. If this occurs we consider it a major medical, and the number of days allowed to make up for the semester doubles from 4 to 8. They will still be split evenly between 4 physical make ups and 4 article reviews. STUDENTS MAY BE REMOVED FROM CLASS BECAUSE THEY CANNOT PARTICIPATE IN PE. Each major medical case is different, but removal from class simply means the student has to make up the credits missed because of the injury at a different time.
