Volunteering makes a difference
Parents, have you ever thought of volunteering?
When you volunteer, you provide your child with a positive role model for being an engaged and involved member of the community. In return, you have the opportunity to work with the wonderful teachers and administrators in your child's school, to get a better idea how the education system works and to meet and network with other parents!

For the safety of our children, the TDSB has made it mandatory for all volunteers that come in direct contact with our children to have completed a Volunteer Police Reference Check. There is a small one time fee for this check that the volunteer must pay for, however once this check has been successfully completed, yearly renewals can be done at no further cost. Forms for the reference check can be obtained from the front office. Completion of the application process usually takes abou 2-3 weeks.
