Volunteer

We welcome and encourage parents’ involvement and help in the office, library, sports teams, computer lab, classrooms, field trips, etc. Research shows that students whose parents are involved in different aspects of school life achieve more in school. If you are interested in volunteering some of your time, please call the school. Having a volunteer coordinator would be a great asset to our school. If interested in that position, please contact the office in September. We do require that you have a current police check that has been conducted for the Calgary Board of Education, but if you have had one completed at another school within the past 5 years, you do not need to complete another one. 

In rare occasions, more information is required (e.g. fingerprinting). This could cause security clearances to take longer to process. It is highly advisable to fill out a volunteer registration form at the very beginning of the year, (See back page) and then you will be ready to go when the need arises.

​​​​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 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​​​
