Volunteer

Volunteers are an important part of the success of students.  Parents, guardians and adult family members are encouraged to volunteer on a regular basis in the classrooms, library, or office and, if possible, on field trips or at other special events.  The Calgary Board of Education requires volunteers to follow a registration process.  Read below for more information about registering for volunteering.  

All parents new to volunteering at the school must complete a parent orientation. You will be contacted by our Volunteer coordinator with dates and times once the school has a copy of your Police Information Check and the purple and pink school sheets.

​​​​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.)

  • 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​​​
