All volunteers must be familiar with the Evergreen School Division's administrative procedures for school volunteers. As well, all volunteers much also complete a Child Abuse Registry Check before working with students.  (See the links below to access all required documents.)

These three items must be in place before adult volunteers who coach a school team, organize an after-school club, or accompany a group on an overnight trip as a chaperone :

  • Child Abuse Registry Check

Volunteers must also be aware of all school division procedures related to confidentiality, disclosure, discipline and emergencies.

Volunteer coaches are required to successfully complete the "Respect inris.4e24ac1188.jpg Sport" course prior to taking on a coaching role in the school .This course is  designed as a tool to assist coaches in identifying and dealing with abuse, neglect, harassment, and bullying in sport.

School Trips

If you are serving as a coach of a sports team or are in charge of a group that will be taking trips out of the school, you will need complete some of these documents when planning an out-of-school trip.

If you are taking students on a trip outside the school - for example a sports team competing at another school, you will need to plan the activity according to the Field Trip Check List.

Most trips require the following:

  • Bus requisition
  • Consent of Parent/Guardian: Low Risk
  • Field Trip Proposal Form A

Be sure to meet with the school principal if you have any questions about your obligations as a school volunteer.
