Scarsdale High School

Physical Education Modifications

New York State Education law requires that all students actively participate "to the level of their ability" in the school's Physical Education (P.E.) program.
If your child has any limitations that may affect their participation, the school must receive a doctor's note. This note should include:

1. A diagnosis of the condition
2. A description of the activities your child can participate in
3. The expected duration of these limitations

Please note that attendance in PE class is mandatory, regardless of the degree of participation. This attendance is essential for your child to receive the necessary credit for the course.

NOTE: For proper processing, all P.E. Modification requests and Physicians' P.E. excuses must be submitted to the Health Office and not to coaches, P.E. teachers or deans. Copies will be forwarded to those individuals.
