Volunteering

Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board students benefit immeasurably from the time, talents and expertise that community volunteers offer. For countless years, we have appreciated and valued the significant contributions of thousands of volunteers in our schools.

How do I become a Volunteer?

The first step to becoming a volunteer is to contact the school where you wish to volunteer. Our Find A School app shows the location of schools closest to you. Or you can access the School Directory.

Contact the school to receive a letter to take to your local police service. Request a police record check identifying any criminal convictions or charges and include a Pardoned Sexual Offences Database and Vulnerable Sector Search. You will need to provide the school with a completed police record check that is dated within the past year.

If your volunteer activity will involve supervising students, you will be asked to sign an Annual Release and Indemnification Agreement Form.

Accessibility Training for Volunteers

As per the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, ADOA, 2005, all volunteers are required to receive information and training on accessible customer service, on the requirements of the Integrated Accessibility Stands Regulation under the AODA, and information about the Ontario Human Rights Code as it relates to disability.

Once your completed Police Records Check is submitted, you will receive a copy of the Accessibility at the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board brochure to read to fulfill this requirement.

Tips to Being a Good Volunteer

  • Practice patience and respect, and be inclusive of all students, staff and families.
  • Flexibility is encouraged and appreciated.
  • If you have questions regarding a task you are asked to perform, please ask!
  • Try to understand thoroughly what is expected of you.
  • Every job is important.
  • Confidentiality must be observed in all matters. Be discreet, and never publicly discuss students, parents, or educators.
  • Children love praise. Give a smile, or kind word when you can.
  • Take your commitment seriously. If you can't make it, or will be late, please phone to notify the teacher.
  • In all schools, volunteers will be asked to register in the school office on arrival.
  • Enjoy yourself!
