Medical: The Physical education curriculum for Alberta states if an illness or injury prevents a student from participating in an activity for an extended period of time, a doctor’s note is necessary with statement of activities in which the student is not able to participate in. If that becomes the case a student may be given alternative activities or assignments to complete.
