Our school is better when you are involved! Most activities and events outside of regular class only exist because of volunteers. Fundraising events are all volunteer run, and the School Council is run by volunteers. Our school would not be the same without all the people willing to give their time, their expertise and to share their passions with the school community.
We need as many volunteers as possible to implement all of the amazing programs and activities that make Annette Street P.S. such a great place for our kids.
The Importance of Your Involvement:
Help reach Fundraising goals
Enrichment of school resources/activities
Create a Stronger school and parent community
Contact council at annettestps@gmail.com or your class parent rep to find out about volunteer opportunities.
How to Volunteer
The ASPS Parent Council is looking to gather parent volunteers for the coming school year(s) that could be called upon when needed. (For pizza days, sports team support, fundraising events, field trips and help in the classrooms and library) To ensure the safety of all students, the Toronto District School Board requires specific police background checks for individuals volunteering in our schools. (this was not strictly enforced previously)
To volunteer on field trips or in the school, YOU MUST COMPLETE A LEVEL 3 VULNERABLE SECTOR CHECK (VSC).

IMPORTANT FINAL STEP
After you receive the VSC (it can take a month), you MUST DOWNLOAD IT, scan/take a pic and email a scanned copy to policereferencecheckoffice@tdsb.on.ca for processing.
Please ensure when emailing the PRC office with your scanned copy of your police clearance, you include the following declaration in the body of your email with the attachment and the school you are volunteering at. “The attached document is a copy of the original and it has not been altered in any way”
