Work Bee - November 7, 2020

Work Bee Routines

With an upcoming work bee on Saturday November 7th we would like to share work bee routines with new parents and review them for our long time parents as well. Please note due to COVID protocols of limits of 50 people at gatherings everyone including children must be registered.  Register children by emailing maintenance@cloverdalecatholicschool.ca to see if there is space.

  1. Register for the work bee on OnVolunteers!  If you are unable to make it please unregister to open your spot to another parent.  This month’s work bee is almost FULL!  

  2. Please check your email for any suggestions of items to bring.  For example when we know there are a lot of leaves to rake there will be an email suggesting to bring a rake if you have one or if there is a lot of weeding to do to bring any gardening tools you have.  This month please bring rakes and gardening tools.

  3. When arriving at the work bee your name needs to be written on two sheets.  First sheet is a time in and time out sheet and is for verifying hours.  The second sheet is to be assigned for a specific job. These sheets will be with the coordinators stationed near the playground.  In the case of rain the coordinators will be at the undercover area of the staff parking lot to keep papers dry. 

  4. NEW THIS YEAR due to COVID protocols is that all children also need to be signed in.  Elementary children’s hours DO NOT count for parent participation but children do count for the total number of people we are allowed.  Work bees are limited to the 50 people maximum for gatherings. It is for this reason that we do encourage you to make other arrangements for child care if possible. If you will be bringing children to the work bee or anyone not signed up on OnVolunteers please email maintenance@cloverdalecatholicschool.ca to check if there is space.

  5. During the work bee if you have any questions please ask one of our coordinators.  

  6. Children are welcome at work bees but must be supervised by a parent or guardian.  Coordinators are busy answering questions and circulating and are not able to supervise children other than their own.  

  7. Before leaving the work bee please sign out on the time in/time out sheet.

Grade 7s 

Any grade 7s wishing to attend a work bee for confirmation hours need to register for the work bee by emailing maintenance@cloverdalecatholicschool.ca.  We will have limited spots for grade 7s in order to allow spaces  for parent participation volunteers.

Please register on OnVolunteers for work bees by the Friday morning before the work bee and cancel registration if you are not able to attend.  If you plan on being late please email.  No show spots will be opened to drop ins at 9:45am.  Drop ins are welcome but due to restrictions on numbers may not be accommodated.  There are currently no drop in spots available for November.
