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:
The Weekly June 9 to June 13 2025
Floorball and Spirit Week! It was a great start to June. A reminder NOT to order Universal Lunch Program if your child will be away all day on a field trip. All field trips have been approved for the remainder of the year so make sure to check in with your child’s teacher if you need reminders for those dates.
From the library learning commons:
June 9 – 13 is the last week of book exchanges. Please have students return all books by June 20th or sooner so we can inventory and prepare for next year. We also want to wish the best of luck to Mme. Marks as she begins next year full-time at the learning resource center supporting all schools in the district. Please welcome Erika Spearman our new TL for the 2025-2026 school year.
PAC AGM: On June 18 at 6:15pm PAC will have its AGM. There will be elections for members of the PAC executive next year. Some executive members are still carrying out their term but there will be open positions for Co-Chair and Secretary. If you are interested in these positions or other non-executive roles with the PAC, please come out. We also have a need for a co-volunteer coordinator to help Emily out (Emily sends out the PAC emails). The more people involved the better we can support the school. Anyone interested in learning more is encouraged to attend. Babysitting will be provided. For more information on the purpose of the PAC and the roles of the executives check out our bylaws here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1iVti9sc_4Z45AKr0r1j_J4GCvZ9_dOeG/view?usp=sharing
If you know your student will be leaving Puntledge for the 2025-2026 school year please let the office know sooner rather than later. Puntledge@sd71.bc.ca We are looking at a very busy complex school again and the more time we have to plan the better.
School Supplies for 2025-2026. Once again a significant portion of your child’s school supplies for next year will be covered by the Student and Families Affordability funds. The school will purchase all necessary materials over the summer and families will be asked to pay their portion in September. We anticipate the cost to be approximately $20.
PAC NEWS:
Our amazing Outdoor Ed teacher, Aimee Pollard, needs some families with the skills, time, and desire to help build a new gazebo in the PAC funded garden! If you have the skills, time, and desire to help Aimee out, please email her at Aimee.Pollard@sd71.bc.ca to receive more information.
Pac Fun Day is on June 24th!
Pac will need volunteers to help with set up, take down, watching the bounce houses (kid safety), face painting, temporary tattoos, and concession. Also, if you have an activity that you want to take on for the Fun Day (3 legged race, potato sack race, egg spoon race, giant bubbles, quiet fairy/princess story time under the tree…..your imagination and motivation are the only limits) Please let me know so that PAC can help support you to do it.
