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”.

General Information:
Hello, Bonjour, Gila’kasla
Just over 100 students took part in Jump Rope for Heart in the gym today! The energy was fantastic, with great spirit and enthusiasm shown by all who participated. It was wonderful to see our students supporting a great cause while staying active and having fun. A big thank you as well to our community for their generous donations to the Heart & Stroke Foundation. Your support truly makes a difference!
Family Literacy Week: January 26–30 is Family Literacy Week. To celebrate, we will be setting up tables for a book swap to help students discover new books to take home and enjoy. Families are invited to donate any child-friendly books in good, gently used condition. During the week, students will have the opportunity to choose a book to keep.
PAC Fundraiser: The PAC Seed Fundraiser closed on Wed. Jan. 21. We anticipate the seeds to arrive and go home during the first week of February.
PAC & Carnaval: We are excited to announce not just Carnaval, but a winter Festival Week celebrating École Puntledge Park’s French Canadian and Métis culture!
From February 9–13, our school will host Les Tambours de Glace: Là où la glace résonne au rythme des traditions / Drums of Ice Festival: Where ice echoes with tradition, inspired by Québec’s Carnaval and Winnipeg’s Festival du Voyageur.
Kick-Off Event: Cabane à sucre / Sugar Shack Pancake Brunch
- Sunday, February 8 11:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m.
- Maple syrup, pancakes, eggs, hashbrowns, beans & Métis food samples
- Live music & Métis cultural displays
- $5 per ticket soon available thru Munch-a-Lunch (limited seating, first come/first served, sales close at 9:00 a.m. on the day of the event)
During the school day, there will be classroom Métis workshops and student-run winter-inspired gym activities in the gym. On Friday, February 13, 6:00 p.m.-8:00 p.m. PAC will host Festival Finale: Un bal masqué / Masquerade Ball in the school gym.
Festival Week is all about creating joyful memories for our students and it truly comes to life with the help of our amazing parent community. Even one hour of your time can make a big difference in helping these events run smoothly and ensuring our students have a fun, safe, and memorable experience.
