      a.  excused for 1-5 consecutive days – completion of sports folios with a passing grade of           69% or better
    b.  excused for 6-5 consecutive days – one 750 word report

2.    Any student who does not participate in class because of a temporary limitation or illness must have a note from a parent or the school nurse stating the reason for not participating in class.  This exclusion from class will be granted for a maximum of two consecutive days only.  Each student must read two sports folios and take a test on each one.  If the student receives a grade of 68% or lower he/she will lose all participation points for the day.
