Volunteering
Volunteers are very welcome in our classrooms, but we understand that everyone has busy schedules. It would be appreciated if you do want to come in and help out if you could please email me so that I can schedule you and make sure your time is used effectively.
Special days, such as field trips or class parties, are days that would most benefit from an extra set of hands. With that said, our classrooms can be busy and can only hold so many bodies. If your offer is declined, know that it is done with a heavy heart and the hope that you will offer again in the future.
Please note, all volunteers in the classroom or on field trips MUST have an up to date criminal record and child welfare check as per school policy. Volunteer packages are available in the office for individuals interested in volunteering this year.
Field Trips
We plan several field trips that are both fun and educational for the children, and usually fit with the topic we are studying at the time. Field trips may be held with the other classes to minimize the cost of bussing.
We often need adult volunteers to ensure our field trips are a success. If you are able to volunteer, please complete the permission form and let us know promptly. Many field trips have a limited amount of space for helpers and we will attempt to ensure that all individuals have the opportunity to attend at least one field trip if they wish.
We hope to have a number of in-school, out-of-school and virtual field trips this year covering a wide range of topics. As field trips are planned and confirmed, dates will be posted on the school calendar and information will be sent home in your child's agenda. Below are some field trips we hope to be able to have this year.
