VOLUNTEERING
We are most grateful for the assistance, time and talents parents and other interested persons in the community are willing to share with our school. Volunteers can assist in our school in a number of areas. Teachers will notify parents of the need for volunteers in their classes. Please note that EPSB policy requires all volunteers to fill in a volunteer registration form which will be sent home at the beginning of the year. If a field trip involves an overnight, those parents volunteering will require a police check in order to participate.
