​​​​​Volunteer with Us

​We welcome volunteers in the classroom, on field trips and with certain tasks at school or at home. Certain activities or field trips would not be possible without the active participation of our volunteers. Contact us about ways you can volunteer with our school.​

​(Please note, guest speakers or visitors to the school, and parents/guardians assisting their own child only are not considered to be volunteers and do not require a police information check.) 

Volunteer Security Clearance Process 

​Step 1: Prospective volunteers must first  register as a volunteer at the school office where you plan on volunteering. School administrators will verify your identity and register you in the CBE volunteer database. The school office will provide you with a letter enabling you to obtain a police information check from the Calgary Police Service (CPS). 

Please note, prospective volunteers must reside in Canada for a full year before registering. Police clearances from countries other than Canada are not accepted. 

Step 2: Visit the CPS online system, electronic Police Information Check (ePIC), to obtain your police check using your CBE volunteer letter. 

If you are unable to complete the process online, you may visit a police information check location instead. 

Step 3: Once you have received your clearance document from CPS you will need to share it with the school in-person or by email.

​Cost 

Your security clearance is valid for five years and the cost is $21.25 ($15.00 for police clearance and 5.95+GST service fee) which is charged during the online ePIC application. This fee is not covered by the CBE. 

Volunteering for an Off-Site Activity

If you want to volunteer for an off-site activity, please keep in mind: 

  • Volunteers on an activity are considered representatives of the Calgary Board of Education and are subject to the same expectations as staff
  • Volunteers are subject to the requirements of CBE Administrative Regulation 5003 – Volunteers, which includes an application and a police security screening check
  • Volunteers are covered by the CBE’s liability insurance policy while performing their assigned duties
  • Volunteers are covered by WCB while performing their duties
  • Volunteers receive direction from and are accountable to the teacher-in-charge​​​

Volunteer at Cambrian Heights

We would love to include you in the many volunteer opportunities to be a part of the school community: onsite, after-hours, offsite, in the classroom, in the school – there are many ways you can help. Any amount of time and any task you can help with is really appreciated...even the smallest effort can make a big difference.

Each classroom and grade will have different requirements so in an effort to assist the teachers and School Council we are gathering emails of people who would like to:

  • Be a part of School Council
  • Volunteer for school events
  • Volunteer in your child’s classroom
  • Volunteer for the school as a whole
  • Help out after hours
  • Help with Fundraising  

A reminder, if you intend to volunteer within the school, you must have an up-to-date security clearance and have filled out a CBE Volunteer Form with the school in advance. If you are not sure if you have completed these, please contact the school office.

We look forward to creating, maintaining and expanding community at Cambrian Heights School.
