Parent/Guardian School Volunteers Needed
Parents/guardians are an integral part of our Catholic school communities. Parent/guardian engagement, advocacy and support for Catholic schools gives you a voice, and signals that support for Catholic education in Dufferin-Peel and Ontario is strong. We appreciate the involvement of parents/guardians at the local school and encourage participation in school activities and events. Parent/guardian school volunteer activities include: field trips, lunch events, and other school events.
All parent/guardian school volunteers need to have a Criminal Reference Check with Vulnerable Sector Screening on file at the school. If you are interested in volunteering at St. Alfred please contact the office to obtain a School Volunteer Letter that is submitted to the Police Department as part of your request for a Criminal Reference Check with Vulnerable Sector Screening.
Anyone who has not previously submitted a Criminal Reference Check with Vulnerable Sector Screening is strongly encouraged to apply as soon as possible to avoid delays. Please allow up to 6 weeks to process the application.
The Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board has the responsibility, under law, to provide a safe and secure working and learning environment for students and employees. The Board is in a position of trust with regard to students and must protect their intellectual, physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
All individuals are required to provide an original Criminal Record Check with Vulnerable Sector Screening that is satisfactory to the Board prior to the commencement of any duties. The Criminal Reference Check with Vulnerable Sector Screening must have been executed within the preceding 6 months of receipt.
Once Your Criminal Reference Check with Vulnerable Sector Screening is Completed:
Peel Regional Police or your local Police Department will return the results using their preferred method. A copy certified by a Principal or Designate of the school must be held at the School.
Do I have to get a Criminal Reference Check with Vulnerable Sector Screening each school year?
No. If you have a Criminal Reference Check with Vulnerable Sector Screening on file, you will receive an Annual Offence Declaration (AOD) for the calendar year. This must be signed and returned to the school to keep your Criminal Reference Check with Vulnerable Sector Screening on file current. An AOD may be obtained at the St. Alfred School Main Office.
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us at St. Alfred School. Thank you for your interest and support.
