**It is the policy of the Brandeis University Physical Education Department that all classes meeting only once per week for only “half” of the semester shall allow only one absence (repetitive tardiness will result in an absence). If you miss more than one class, you will not be eligible for certification by the ARC. If you miss more than two classes, you will be subject to failing the course. If you have one absence and wish to get certified, you MUST make up the missed class with Coach Johnson or you will not be rendered certifiable by the ARC.
Note: There will be days when we will be “on the floor” performing CPR, AED, and First Aid skill sets so PLEASE wear appropriate attire for such. Thank you.
