Interested in Becoming a Parent Volunteer

If you are planning to volunteer in your child’s classroom, help out on field trips, volunteer in our school for special events, please come by the office, we will have you fill out the forms below.  These forms need to be filled out on a yearly basis.  In addition you MUST obtain criminal record check clearance.

Criminal Record Check Process:

The Ministry of Justice regulations require ANY volunteer who comes near or works around children to complete a criminal record check PRIOR to volunteering, regardless of the time spent working near or around them. This requirement involves a Criminal Record Search, valid for 5 years, which includes a Vulnerable Sector Search.

If you have a BC Services account you will email: criminal.check@abbyschools.ca to request the online CRC application link and include your full name, that you want to volunteer and if you have a BC Services account.

If you do not have a BC Services account then you will go the School Board office with two pieces of ID.

Please contact our school if you have any questions regarding this new requirement.

Steps to become a volunteer:

1. Fill out the following documents:

AP 416-1 Letter of Understanding (Volunteers)
