Parent Volunteer Information:
Many of our activities would not be able to happen without the help of volunteers. Thank you for your support! Volunteers must complete a criminal record form prior to volunteering. Also, by submitting a CRC request you agree to abide by the code of conduct
Criminal Record Check
As per School District Policy 6031MR2 all volunteers will be asked to complete a Criminal Record Check before they are able to drive, volunteer in the classroom, or participate in field trips. If you are thinking about volunteering at the school, please take the time to complete the Criminal Record Check process early in the school year. Criminal Record Checks are valid for 5 years once complete and will remain on file at the school. We use the Criminal Records Review Program (CRRP) online service:
Online Link: https://justice.gov.bc.ca/criminalrecordcheck
Access Code: 4HN64GAEQ9
Driving for School
We rely on parent/caregiver volunteers to drive on many of our school field trips to keep our costs to a minimum.
Each year volunteer drivers need to submit:
- Driver’s Abstract from ICBC https://www.icbc.com/driver-licensing/getting-licensed/Pages/Your-driving-record.aspx
- Have a valid Criminal Record check on file with the school
- First 2 pages of insurance is required, showing minimum of $1 million liability - if you have private insurance send a copy of that as well.
- Copy of Driver’s License.
All information should be sent by email to puntledge@sd71.bc.ca. Scanning documents or taking a picture will work to send via email.
Booster seats are required for students who are under 9 years of age and over 40 pounds in weight and according to district policy must be used until the child reaches 9 years of age or a height of 4’9”.

The Weekly – Feb. 23-27, 2026
Hello, Bonjour, Gila’kasla
Our Carnaval celebrations concluded with a successful PAC Dance, providing a joyful and energetic end to a wonderful week. Students also enjoyed the visit from Maple Man, whose maple taffy samplings were a hit. We will be recognizing Pink Shirt Day at school on February 25. Students are encouraged to wear pink to promote kindness, inclusion, and to stand against bullying in our schools and communities. This day reflects our core values of belonging, kindness, respect, and resilience, and helps us continue building a safe and caring school community where everyone feels valued and included.
Grade 4/5 Mixed Basketball: If your child participated, please ensure their blue Puntledge t-shirt is returned, as we will need it for the upcoming sports season. Thank you for your support.
Rugby Opportunity: Students in Gr. 3-8 interested in getting started in rugby, the Rapids Rugby Club is hosting an intro session on March 1 at Lewis Park. Please see the attached poster for information.
Gr. 7 Fundraiser – Panago Gift Cards: Panago Gift Cards are available for purchase through Munch-A-Lunch as a fundraiser for our Grade 7 year-end trip to Strathcona Park. Each ticket costs $14 and can be redeemed for a medium pizza at any Panago location in BC.
Only 100 tickets will be sold in February, and sales will close once they are sold out. Additional tickets will be available again in March. Thank you for supporting our Grade 7 students!
Gr. 7 Fundraiser – Gunter Brothers
Also in support of our grade 7 Strathcona Trip fundraiser, you can order local, hormone and antibiotic-free meat from Gunther Brothers. Each 10 lb box of frozen meat will have individual 1 lb packs in easy-to defrost packages. Types of meat available include ground beef, chicken breast, sausages, bacon, pork chops and burger patties. Meat will be delivered to the school for easy pickup on the afternoon of Thursday, March 19 (just before BBQ grilling season during spring break).
Ordering is easy through Munchalunch.com, please use the Ecole Puntledge Park button NOT the Feeding Futures button and click the yellow “Fundraiser Open” button at the top. Thanks for supporting our students and a great family-run, local business!
