• Provide photocopies of all requested Identification (see Check List).
• Attach a $300 non-refundable check for the current date.

• Include check for school supplies ($50) and field trips ($30) (total $80) post dated dated for Aug 1st.
• Submit Subsidy Application, if applicable. The Centre School is able to support a limited number of applications for financial assistance. We ask that family’s first endeavor to reduce costs through application to the Work Exchange program. A subsidy application should ideally accompany the annual enrolment application, however may also be submitted during the school year should the need arise.

To ensure student acceptance and work exchange availability, submit completed application for processing by Feb. 17th for re-enrolment or by March 1st for new enrolment. You will receive email confirmation of acceptance by the end of March.

Who needs a Criminal Record Check?
Choices Instructors and Noon Supervisors need a Criminal Record Check. School policy requires anyone, whether volunteer or work exchange, who is spending time alone with any group of children without staff supervision to give consent for the school to have an annual criminal record check done. This information will be kept strictly confidential.

Who needs an RCMP Record Check and a Driver’s Abstract?
Anyone intending to drive for Choices, off site classes (i.e. gymnastics, swimming), or field trips needs both an RCMP Record Check and a Driver’s Abstract. School policy requires anyone, whether volunteer or work exchange, who is driving students on behalf of the school to complete an RCMP Record Check. Forms are to be signed in person at the RCMP office any Wednesday from 1-4pm and returned to the School Admin Office prior to driving.

Parents must also apply for a copy of their Driver’s Abstract by calling 1.800.950.1498 with their driver’s license number. Forms are to be emailed back to the school at info@saltspringcentreschool.ca. This information will be kept strictly confidential.

Please sign all forms and return immediately to complete the process. All families are expected to make payment either in full or by direct deposit. Anyone who needs an alternative form of payment is requested to make application to GES School Board.

Tuition paid in full by August 1st will receive a 3% discount.

STEP 3
In July you will receive an email that will include the Parent Handbook, Year Calendar and Summer Newsletter. Please review the section in the Parent Handbook regarding Earthquake Kits.

Please bring your child’s Earthquake Kit on the first day of school.
