Volunteer Opportunity
Parents: If you would like to volunteer with field trips, library, classroom parties at the Dunlap schools, you
will need to complete the online application on the Dunlap District website. After completing, the District Of-
fice will contact you regarding fingerprinting. Please let the Banner office know that you have started the proc-
ess. We suggest you start this as soon as possible as it does take some time to process everything. You must
be approved before you can take part in an activity.
Physical Education Excuse A parent/guardian may excuse a student from physical education for up to two days. Any long term
physical education excuse must be requested in writing from the student’s health care provider, specifying the
length of time your child is to be exempted. A written note from the health care provider should be submitted
for the student to resume full activities.
Any child who is exempt from physical education for medical reasons will not be allowed to participate
in outdoor recess activities. Re-injury on the playground could occur, resulting in prolonging the child’s heal-
ing and recovery period. Arrangements for indoor recess in the main office or a supervised classroom will be
made.
Any child who is exempt from physical education for medical reasons will not be permitted to partici-
pate in school sponsored sports.
