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 – May 11-15, 2026
Hello, Bonjour, Gila’kasla
Wishing all of our mothers and caregivers a very Happy Mother’s Day this Sunday!
Congratulations to students who took part in the young entrepreneurs fair. The quality and creativity of their products was outstanding! This week, we also celebrated Mental Health Week, culminating in a “Kids Table” wrap-up activity on Friday. We also want to recognize the strong participation and enthusiasm shown by Gr. 4-7 students at the recent track meet. A reminder that Friday, May 15 is a non-instructional day, and the school will be closed as well as Monday is a holiday so the school will be closed Monday as well. Have a fabulous long weekend.
Outdoor Education Message from Mme Aimee: Huge thank you to Vancouver Island Enterprises and Oak & Stone Tree Care for donating compost and chips to our school garden. Feel free to wander through the garden and have your learner show you all that is happening these days!
Art cards have gone home this week. If you didn’t receive your child’s sample card with ordering information, please contact your teacher for the student’s ordering code. Money raised from this school fundraiser goes towards projects that support outdoor learning.
