" NOTICE TO PARENT OR GUARDIAN OF RELIGIOUS PERMEATION"

" The Alberta Human Rights Act requires a school board to give notice to a parent or guardian when courses of study, educational programs, instructional material, instruction or exercises include subject matter that deals primarily with religion." All of the schools in the St. Albert Ward are Catholic Separate Schools, for which the essential purpose is to fully permeate Catholic theology philosophy, practices and beliefs, the principles of the Gospel, and the teachings of the Catholic Church, in all aspects of school life, including in the curriculum of every subject taught, both in and outside of formal religion classes, celebrations and exercises. Every course of study and educational program, all instructional materials, instruction and exercise, will at all times include subject matter that deals primarily with faith and/or Catholic religion.

Greater St. Albert Catholic Schools accepts students of all faiths as per the following acknowledgment: I hereby acknowledge and accept the values and philosophies exemplified in a Catholic school. I agree that my child will participate in the prayer life, religious education programs, and other instructional opportunities in which ethical and moral standards are taught. Additionally, if my religion is other than Catholic, I am aware that my child is being admitted to this school as a non-resident student as of grade 1 and beyond. Residency does not apply to Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten children; Residency begins in grade 1 or at point of entry to the District (in grade 1-12). The District accepts the shared responsibility for my child's education until such time the student is no longer enrolled.

I/We declare that the information provided on this registration form, which is a legal document, is accurate and complete to the best of my/our knowledge and belief(s). I/We have read and am aware of the religious permeation in District Schools, and agree to notify the school of any changes to the information on this form.

As this is a legal document, only ONE Registration per child is accepted by the District. If more than one Parent/Legal Guardian prefer to sign the Registration Form, all details must be agreed upon by both parties, as declared.

A transportation application, if required, must be completed in addition to the school registration form.

PHYSICAL ACTIVITY LETTER TO PARENTS

Dear Parent/Guardian;

Physical activity is essential for normal, healthy growth and development. Growing bones and muscles require not only good nutrition, but also the stimulation of vigorous physical activity to increase the strength and endurance necessary for a physically active lifestyle. Active participation in physical education classes, which includes games, fundamental movement skills, body awareness and movement, and outdoor pursuits, provides opportunities for students to develop the skills and confidence necessary to play and work cooperatively with their peers.

Physical Education Curriculum: Students will participate in a variety of activities as an integral part of the Physical Education curriculum. These activities may include but are not limited to:

Primary School: Tag games, fitness building activities and fundamental movement skills (circuits and relays), body awareness and movement/gymnastics, target games.

Middle School: Low Organizational and Team Building games, body awareness and movement/gymnastics, Lead up Volleyball and Soccer, Target Games, Track and Field and Fitness Activities

High School: Low Organizational and Team Building games, body awareness and movement/gymnastics, Badminton, Basketball, Soccer, Target Games, Track and Field and Fitness Activities;

Daily Physical Activity: Every student in our schools will be participating daily in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity. Research has shown that daily sustained physical activity has a positive impact on students’ readiness to learn, behaviour, self-esteem, level of physical fitness and academic achievement. This daily physical activity will take place in physical education classes and in other areas of the school on non-physical education class days. Aerobic routines, fitness circuits, and power walks are some examples of daily physical activity sessions.

Intramurals/ Clubs: Throughout the year students will also have an opportunity to participate in intramural and club activities that may include but are not limited to: Ball Hockey; Basketball; Badminton; Volleyball; Dodgeball; Terry Fox Run; running clubs; Track and Field days, Play days and Fun Fairs.

In the interest of safety, students must: 1. For physical education classes and intramural activities: wear appropriate attire for safe participation (e.g., T-shirt, shorts or track pants). Running shoes that provide good support and traction are a minimum requirement.

Greater St. Albert Roman Catholic Separate School District No. 734 Forms Manual 2. Hanging jewelry (e.g., necklaces, hoop earrings) must not be worn. In many activities (e.g., tag games, climbing, etc.) no jewelry can be worn. Jewelry which cannot be removed and which presents a safety concern (e.g., medical alert identification, religious requirement jewelry) must be taped or securely covered. 3. For the daily physical activities: wear appropriate running shoes and loose- fitting clothing that will not inhibit movement.

In the interest of safety, we strongly recommend: 1. Students have an annual medical examination. 2. Students bring emergency medications (e.g., asthma inhalers, epinephrine pen) to all curricular and co-curricular physical activities. 3. Students remove eyeglasses during daily physical activity, physical education classes and intramurals. If eyeglasses cannot be removed, it is recommended that the student wear an eyeglass strap or shatterproof lenses. 4. Students wear/apply environmental protection for all outdoor activities (e.g., sunscreen, hat, insect repellent). 5. A safety inspection is carried out at home of any equipment brought to school for personal use in class, or in intramural/club activities (e.g., skis, skates, helmets).

PERMISSION AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF RISK SCHOOL, PHYSICAL EDUCATION, OFF-SITE ACTIVITIES, INTRAMURALS & CLUBS

Elements of Risk Notice

The risk of injury exists in every athletic activity. Falls, collisions and other incidents may occur and cause injury. Due to the very nature of some activities, the risk of injury may increase. Injuries may range from minor sprains and strains to more serious injuries affecting the head, neck or back. Some injuries can lead to paralysis or prove to be life-threatening. These injuries result from the nature of the activity and can occur without fault on either the part of the student, the school board or its employees/agents or the facility where the activity is taking place. The safety and well-being of students is a prime concern and attempts are made to manage, as effectively as possible, the foreseeable risks inherent in physical activity. A student choosing to participate in physical activities assumes the risk of an injury occurring. The chances of an injury can be reduced by carefully following instructions at all times while engaged in the activity. Please call the school to discuss safety concerns related to any physical activity in which your child/ward is participating.

I have read and acknowledge the activity and risk disclosure information provided to me about the School, Physical Education, Off-Site Activities, Intramurals, and Club activities my son/daughter/ward will participate in.

I give my permission for my son/daughter/ward ______to participate in the School, Physical Education, Off-Site Activities, Intramurals & Clubs Activities.
