Among the most important resources of a school are the people of the school community. There is no doubt that students benefit from the assistance provided of volunteers. A love for children combined with patience, understanding and some free time are the only requirements necessary to become a volunteer. The time commitment varies according to the individual volunteer and position. Volunteers are needed to assist in specific ways in the classrooms, with general school events, special projects and to sit on school council.
A form for volunteer parents at Banded Peak is sent home at the beginning of the year. We would be grateful for your help. If you are aware of community members who do not have children attending our school but who have some time and/or special talents/interest to share with our students, please invite them to contact us – their support and involvement would be very welcome.
To maintain the integrity of the learning environment in the classroom, we would like to request that parents volunteering in the classrooms not bring pre-school children.
Volunteers are asked to sign in at the office and pick up a volunteer badge to be worn while in the school.
In addition, all parents/community members interested in volunteering at Banded Peak are required to complete and submit a vulnerable sector check from the RCMP. Letters and information are provided to all parents at the beginning of the school year and are available through the school office.
