Volunteering

Parents/Caregivers and community members are encouraged to participate in volunteer activities in our schools that support programs and services and help students succeed.

Here are some ways you can help in your child’s classroom or school:

  • Reading with students 
  • Arts and crafts activities
  • Assisting with school plays or concerts
  • Help with the Student Nutrition Program
  • Organizing materials in the library
  • Coaching sports activities
  • Supervising children on field trips
  • Supporting School Council events and activities

A Level 2 – Criminal Record and Judicial Matters Check (CRJMC) will be sufficient for volunteers participating in school activities and day trips. This level of clearance is free for all volunteers.

For more information, please visit the TDSB Volunteering page and  Toronto Police Services website


School Cash Online

School Cash Online is an easy-to-use, safe and convenient way for parents and caregivers to pay for their children’s school fees, including agendas, yearbooks and class trips. Almost all school payments (special events, fundraisers, field trips, pizza lunches) go through School Cash Online.
 

How does School Cash Online work?
All school fees applicable to your child will be posted on School Cash Online. Once you register, you can choose to purchase the items or activities using a debit or credit card. You will be able to see when the school has a new item posted online for purchase and you also have the option to be notified whenever your child has a new school event requiring payment.
 

How do I register?

You can register by visiting the TDSB's School Cash Online website, selecting “Get Started Today” and completing the three registration steps. Once registered, you will receive an email notification when items become available for purchase online.

Student Mobile Devices/Cellphones

 

TDSB’s Code of Conduct reflects the Ministry of Education’s expectation that all school community members refrain from using personal mobile devices during instructional time, except under specific circumstances. The board defines a personal mobile device as “any personal electronic device that can be used to communicate or to access the Internet, such as a cellphone, tablet, laptop or smartwatch.” This policy ensures a focused and productive learning environment for our students. All devices should be off and out of sight during the school day; smartwatches should be set to school mode. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.

As a K-8 school, we follow the elementary guidelines, which include unstructured time, such as during lunch and recess.
