​​​​​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.​

​(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.) 

Volunteer Security Clearance Process 

​Step 1: Prospective volunteers must first  register as a volunteer at the school office where you plan on volunteering. School administrators will verify your identity and register you in the CBE volunteer database. The school office will provide you with a letter enabling you to obtain a police information check from the Calgary Police Service (CPS). 

Please note, prospective volunteers must reside in Canada for a full year before registering. Police clearances from countries other than Canada are not accepted. 

Step 2: Visit the CPS online system, electronic Police Information Check (ePIC), to obtain your police check using your CBE volunteer letter. 

If you are unable to complete the process online, you may visit a police information check location instead. 

Step 3: Once you have received your clearance document from CPS you will need to share it with the school in-person or by email.

​Cost 

Your security clearance is valid for five years and the cost is $21.25 ($15.00 for police clearance and 5.95+GST service fee) which is charged during the online ePIC application. This fee is not covered by the CBE. 

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​​​

Volunteers and Visitors

Parents are vital to our school community. Volunteering is one way to enhance your child’s time at Rosemont and improve the educational opportunities available for all our students. All parents and guardians are welcome to volunteer in our school. Volunteers are organized early in the year. All volunteers are required to complete a security clearance and sign an annual volunteer registration form. It is essential that volunteers respect confidentiality and refrain from discussing parents, children, or school staff with others. All volunteers and visitors to the school must report to the main office and sign in. Volunteers may pick up their name tags behind the door in the office and must wear their tags while in the school. Unidentified guests in the school will be stopped by staff and directed to the office.

Volunteer Creed

  • To keep confidential that which we see
  • To observe school security and safety routines
  • To sign in at the office and wear a name tag
  • To have fun and enjoy our valuable contribution
