​​​​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 Hidden Valley School

Volunteers are valued members of our community in their support of our students and teachers.  

Some of the many ways volunteers support our school include:

  • Listening to children read
  • Creating classroom materials
  • Providing special programs
  • Assisting with projects and field trips
  • Providing one-on-one support
  • Assisting in the library 
  • Participating in School Council events

All volunteers must complete a security clearance by the Calgary Police Service, which is valid for a period of 5 years. Please attend at the office with a driver’s license or passport to start the process.

Volunteers are responsible for attending to the students under their supervision and therefore cannot bring other siblings on the trip. Also, the CBE does not have liability insurance to cover anyone other than students, staff and volunteers.
