Volunteer

If you wish to volunteer in the school, in the classroom or on a school field trip, a Police Reference Check is required. A PRC form only needs to be submitted once. It is then renewed each year by completing an online declaration. 

New Volunteers

Step 1:    Get a Vulnerable Sector Check from Toronto Police Services (TPS). If you already have a Vulnerable Sector Check that is less than one year old, please proceed with step 2.   If you don't have one yet, it should take approximately 3 weeks for TPS to email you back with the results of the check. 

Volunteer must complete the Police Reference Check – Consent to Disclosure Form.

  •  TDSB code 202309TPSOND7EFC
  • There is a fee that is charged by the TPS.
  • Please ensure to opt to share the results with the TDSB when submitting the application.

Step 2:  Once you receive your Vulnerable Sector Check back from TPS, please immediately email it to [email protected] along with a statement that, "The copy of the attached Vulnerable Sector Check has not been altered in any way."  The principal will then forward it on to the TDSB Police Record check office, along with a request to add you to our school's list.  The principal's permission is required. The TDSB Records Check Office needs to clear you, and they will then add you to our volunteer list.  This step is usually pretty quick.

Step 3:  The principal will try to keep an eye on the list as it gets updated, but if you don't hear back from the principal within 5 days, please email her to remind her to check.  At this point, please provide your preferred contact phone number for the principal to add to the list.

​​Maintaining eligibility:

After this process is complete, you will be eligible to volunteer for one year.  Each subsequent year, you will need to complete an Annual Offense Declaration at the school office in order to maintain your eligibility to volunteer.
