Volunteering at Our School

Parental involvement is a vital component of school programs. At Andrew Sibbald School we encourage parents to become involved in our volunteer program and in our school council. Through volunteer assistance, we are able to enhance the educational opportunities for our students. We recognize the value and encourage the use of volunteers in our school. All parents are welcome to volunteer.

All CBE Volunteers are required to have a security clearance as well as complete an annual school volunteer form. Because volunteers are frequently in positions of trust and responsibility with children, it is our duty to ensure that the children in our care are as safe and secure as possible.

Please contact the school for information on how to obtain a security clearance. Once obtained, your security clearance is valid for five years.

Additionally, our school council is always seeking volunteers to help with various school events.  This year we have moved to a digital form to coordinate our volunteer efforts.  If you have your security clearance you can enter your information into the form below.  When completing the form please ensure you hit SAVE before exiting the form.

Volunteer Form

If you have any issues or questions you can reach our volunteer coordinator at sibbald.volunteers@gmail.com

​​​​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.

Visit the CBE website for more information on volunteering, including the required registration and Police Information Check. (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.) 

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​​​
