Volunteer Information

Volunteers in the School

The involvement of parent and non-parent volunteers is welcomed in our schools as volunteers offer valuable assistance to school personnel and programs. Volunteers are utilized for a variety of tasks, depending upon the needs of the teachers and their classes. When a volunteer has a special talent or training, it can often be put to good use in the classroom or within the school's activities.

While welcoming volunteer participation, the Chilliwack School Board is responsible for ensuring a safe and secure environment for all students. Therefore, it requires anyone serving as a volunteer in district schools or on school sponsored activities to submit to a Criminal Records Search.

An information brochure on the process is available at your school or at the administration office. Volunteer drivers must be prepared to submit a drivers abstract or disclose information about their driving record regarding motor vehicle accidents or traffic violations.

Criminal Record Checks

All teachers and staff are required to complete a criminal record check to ensure the safety of students. While welcoming volunteer participation, the Chilliwack School Board is responsible for ensuring a safe and secure environment for all students.
