Parent volunteer drivers are always needed and appreciated. Please make sure your information on file with the school office is up-to-date so that if the opportunity arises for you to accompany your child’s class on a field trip, you have everything required in place. We ask that you make sure that you supply this information well in advance of the field trip to avoid last minute concerns or problems with incorrect or insufficient information.
The following, five documents must be submitted to View Royal before families can drive students on field trips:
1. CRIMINAL RECORD CHECK – ONLINE (Valid for 5 years)
***Please note this can take up to three weeks to arrive at View Royal and must be at the school before you drive.
If you have completed a criminal record check for the school already you do not need to do another one (they are held on file and considered valid for 5 years and you can move the information with your child to middle school if it is within the 5 year time frame from when it was first obtained). We are only able to accept criminal record checks that are submitted through the school.
Criminal Record Check Online Instructions:
Step 1: Volunteer goes to https://justice.gov.bc.ca/screening/crrpa/org-access ***You can watch a demonstration video of the applicant process here or on their website.
Step 2: Enter Access Code: 7UCEUKNRLC
Step 3: Choose to log in with a BC Services Card or without. (If at all possible, please login with a BC Services Card. This speeds up the process and eliminates Step 5 below.)

Step 5: *NEW* If you completed the Criminal Record Check without using a BC Services Card the process will not even begin until your ID has been verified, in person with school office staff. Please stop by the school office with your ID as soon as possible to avoid delay in the approval process.
