Key Updates:

 

Volunteer Clearances

Parents and guardians will be able to ​register to volunteer online​ in the SchoolEngage tab in their MyCBE account. Members of the community without a child in the system can also create a SchoolEngage account.

​​Once volunteers have created an account, they can complete the Annual Volunteer Registration form and submit to school. This must be completed each year. (By completing the form, the volunteer agrees to abide by the conditions that protect the safety, confidentiality and working environment of schools. The volunteer also makes a signed declaration with regard to criminal charges. These forms stay on file at the school during the current school year.)

Schools will continue to follow the process for generating e-Pic letters for volunteers who want to apply in person at Calgary Police Service Westwinds Campus. All other volunteers will receive an email from policesolutions with a link to follow to complete their clearance application form and redeem the voucher for payment. When volunteers have their clearance document (PIC VS), it can also be uploaded and shared directly with the school through the SchoolEngage account. Schools and volunteers can see their application status and if more information is required by the school to complete the process to volunteer.​

Registration & Forms

Yellow school bus riders (registration done every school year)

If your child will be taking the yellow school bus (fee for service) and you have not registered yet, please ensure you do this right away as you cannot ride the bus until you are registered and the paperwork is processed. (this can take up to 3 weeks) Please register through your My CBE Account.  For more information about transportation, please see https://cbe.ab.ca/schools/busing-and-transportation/Pages/default.aspx

Just a friendly reminder that students will need to bring their own spoons & forks with their snack and lunch as we have a limited supply to give out. Students DO NOT have access to hot water or microwaves.
