Thank you for your interest in volunteering with us!
To get started, please complete the following forms and requirements:
1. Volunteer Form
- Complete the online form or download the Volunteer Form below.
- Note: A single volunteer form/Criminal Record Check (CRC) application may be used for multiple schools within the district.

Valid volunteer forms and CRCs for individuals connected to specific students may also be transferred within the district if the student changes schools.
- Attach a copy of your photo ID to the online form, or email it to the school office. (Required to initiate Criminal Record Check)
2. Criminal Record Check

- After you submit your volunteer form, the district will initiate your Criminal Record Check. You will receive an email from the Criminal Records Review Program with instructions to complete the process online within 14 days. Please watch your inbox and complete this step promptly, as your volunteer application cannot proceed until this is finished.
- A criminal record check is valid for up to five years from the date of the search.
- Once the Criminal Record Check is received by the school, final approval rests with the principal, supervisor, or designate, and the volunteer will be notified of their approval status.
