​​​​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​​​

Volunteering at Our School

At Griffith Woods School we encourage parents to be involved in our school as well as with our School Council.  All volunteers need to complete a Police Information Check before volunteering.

When coming into the school to volunteer please sign in the volunteer book at the office and pick up your visitor pass.  This is for the safety and security of our children and enables staff to know who you are.  We appreciate the support and recognize the value that volunteers have in the school. Together we are better! Volunteers for field trips will have to complete an Acknowledge of Risk form to join each particular trip.
