Students at our school benefit greatly from additional volunteer help and assistance in many school activities. If you would like to help out at our school, the first step is to complete a VOLUNTEER DISCLOSURE STATEMENT AND RECORD CHECK. This can be picked up from our school office.
All volunteers must complete this school form and need to bring to the office TWO (2) pieces of specific identification as listed below:
Please note that filling out a Criminal Record Check application typically takes about 10 minutes. Once the form has been completed, we (at the school level) forward it to the School District Office which then forwards the application to the RCMP. Due to privacy, the applicant will personally receive the response back in the mail and then YOU (the applicant) have to bring the response to the school office to be forwarded back to the School District in order to have their approved application on file.
As soon as the School District receives the completed and approved criminal record check, the applicants name will be on file and they can volunteer at any site in SD23 for 4 years. The approval process takes approximately 6-8 weeks and we ask that applicants renew their Criminal Record Check application at the four-year mark though for continuous coverage.
Drivers need to fill out a Criminal Record Check form as well as a Driver's Declaration-again found at the school office. For the Driver's Declaration form, the office requires a copy of the driver's license as well as all three pages of their vehicle insurance (plus any third-party liability insurance they may have in addition to their ICBC insurance coverage).
This form takes about 5 minutes to fill out.
