There are many ways in which you can be an active parent/caregiver at Westsyde Elementary.  Our Parent Advisory Committee (PAC) meets at the school on a regular basis.  The meeting dates are published on our Facebook page and emailed out to families.  Many people volunteer in our school.  School sports' coaches and referees are needed to coach and support our school teams.  Please contact our office if you would like to help with any of our sports teams or other programs.  Your involvement is greatly appreciated and allows us to expand our programs and to support children in ways that we otherwise would not be able to do. 

Criminal Record Checks 

In an effort to further increase the level of student safety in all of our schools, SD73 has changed the expectations around Criminal Record Checks for volunteers.  All school volunteers, field trip drivers & field trip supervisors must have a completed Criminal Record Check on file with the school. 

A criminal record check must be completed online through the CRC.  The link for our school is now live, but before you begin you will need to install the BC Services App on your smart device (phone, ipad or tablet).  Once you have downloaded the BC Services App you will need to open the app on your device and to personalize it with your information.  The CRC uses the BC Services App to verify your identity for the Criminal Records Check.  Once you have the BC services app installed and personalized on your smart device, you can use the access code below. If you need further assistance, see the supporting documents below or contact the school.

Once submitted, the school usually receives the official Criminal Record Check notification within 3-4 days.  We are asking Parents/Caregivers to proactively complete their Criminal Record Checks as soon as possible to avoid last minute stress.  The link and access code below are active and you are encouraged to submit this today.
