its a small spinal fusion

Assuming that you're having some sort of surgery to fuse your vertebrae, you should be able to return to school soon after leaving the hospital (a week at most).
The good news (?) is that you'll get a pass from any strenuous PE classes for at least a couple of months. You want to avoid any sort of shock that would cause the fused vertebra to break apart again before they have completely grown together.
