| memorandum of understanding | Online Physical Education

Notice to students and parents / guardians of students:

The Calgary Board of Education (CBE) does not supervise any activities or provide instruction outside of CBE schools that are part of the Physical Education Course offered by CBe‐learn, the online school for the Calgary Board of Education (unless specifically stated and accompanied by an Acknowledgement of Risk Form). As a result of this situation you must read the following conditions that apply to you or your child’s participation in online Physical Education.

You (if you are currently over the age of 18 years) and/or your parents (if you are currently under 18 years of age) must ensure that activities you choose as part of your involvement in a Physical Education Course offered by CBe‐learn are safe. The CBE holds no responsibility.

In each course students are expected to find activities that fulfill the program of studies as outlined in the course. Teachers in each course will determine that the activities chosen by a student and/or their parents or guardians will meet the educational requirements of the course. For example, a student’s participation in bowling as an activity might contribute toward credit for the Lifetime Leisure component but would generally not be credited toward aerobic or strength training.

The Calgary Board of Education will NOT arrange or be responsible for:

Fees or costs associated with participation in an activity Arrangement of transportation to and from the location Supervision of any activity or location Equipment and facilities Safety assessments Certification or qualifications First Aid Instruction Prerequisite skills Medical or any other kind of insurance

Students and/or their parents or guardians make all the arrangements and take full responsibility of the activity. This may include fees to a service provider, signing any forms or documents that a service provider might require and other arrangements that are part of the chosen activity. These agreements are external to the CBE.

Updated April 27, 2020 (MT)2 | 2

The CBE is not responsible for any losses as a result of students undertaking the course online and agreements external to the CBE.

I understand that there is an inherent risk of injury associated with all types of physical activity. I will review the recommended safety guidelines for the physical activities chosen by my child and will discuss them with my child.

I will ensure my child abides by the recommended safety guidelines for the physical activities they choose for physical education, and will abide by any other more stringent safety standards imposed by their instructors, coaches, or program leaders while they are participating in the chosen physical activities.

The Safety Guidelines for Physical Activity in Alberta Schools can be found at: https://education.alberta.ca/media/160206/sg_pa_final_2014.pdf

Individual Program Plans: Information for Parents Individual Program Plans

Individualized Program Plans (IPPs) are the main document used by schools to captureassessment information about students identified with special education needs, to set out plansfor teaching and learning, and to document ongoing growth and progress.

Planning Together

Individual program planning is a collaborative process. Parents and teachers, as well as students (asappropriate), work together to:

o build an understanding of where the student is starting from in their learning,o develop a plan of action,o monitor growth and celebrate successes,o identify obstacles and find ways around them,o document effective strategies, ando plan for transitions from one learning environment to the next.

In the IPP process, parents play a critical role in building an understanding of their child as a learnerand in creating a meaningful, achievable learning plan.

According to Alberta Education's Standards for Special Education, 2004, schoolboards are requiredto obtain written parental consent on IPPs.At each review date, parents are asked to sign the IPP,indicating that they understand and agree to the plan that has been developed for their child.

Resolving Differences

At any time, parents are welcome to contact their child's teacher(s) or the school principal to discussquestions or concerns, to offer insights about their child, or to make suggestions for next steps.

If parent(s) don't understand the IPP, or don't agree with its contents, it is important to worktogether with the teacher(s) and/or principal to resolve misunderstandings or make changes to theIPP.

In cases where the parent(s) refuse consent or are unavailable to provide consent, the parent(s)and/or teacher will document the reasons why , and will note the steps that were taken to resolvedifferences. In the absence of parental agreement, instruction in the classroom must be based onreasonable practice and teachers must make instructional decisions in the best interests of thestudent.

For more information about IPPs, please visit:
