Get involved as a Parent Volunteer. There are many ways to be involved in the education process. First and foremost is your involvement in your own child's education. Meet the teacher, ask questions, show an interest and support your child's studies. You are encouraged to become one of the dedicated volunteers at Hyland Heights School. If you know someone in the community who has some extra time, get them to call the school-Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, Moms, Dads, older Siblings work very well together to enhance the learning environment.

Upper Grand District Schools strongly support the use of volunteers. Volunteers can:

• Give teachers additional help for individual pupils having some difficulty with an area at school or needing some support that perhaps is not available at home.
• Enable teachers to broaden the regular program and enrich student experience.
• Assist the teacher-librarian in many non-teaching duties and tasks.
• Take advantage of an opportunity for interested community members to participate effectively in our school program.
• Strengthen school-community relations through positive participation.
• Assist with the School's Breakfast Program

It is a requirement of the Board that ALL volunteers complete a "Volunteer Information Form". The form indicates that volunteers "may be subjected to a criminal police check. More and more this is becoming a standard requirement not only in schools but in sports and community organizations. We at Hyland Heights strongly encourage all parent volunteers to obtain and provide this criminal record check. If you need information on this procedure please check with the office.

It is a requirement of the Board that ALL volunteers complete a “Volunteer Agreement Form”. Included in this handbook is a copy of this form for you to fill in and leave on file in the office. Hyland Heights also requires that all volunteers obtain and provide a criminal record check. If you need information on this procedure please check with the office.
