Environmental School Informed Consent and Waiver Form for Children Participating in the Environmental School Project
23125 – 116 Avenue, Maple Ridge, BC, V2X 0G8
In consideration of School District No. 42 (Maple Ridge – Pitt Meadows) (“School District”) offering my child an opportunity to participate in the Environmental School Project for the 2024-2025 school year, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, I agree to waive and release the school district, the Ministry of Education and Child Care and its and their officers, employees, board members, agents, volunteers, and representatives (“Releasees”), of and from any and all claims, expenses, costs, damages or liabilities that I may incur and related to my child’s participation in Environmental School arising out of any cause whatsoever, including negligence (the “Claims”). I further agree not to bring or cause any other person to commence legal proceedings seeking recovery for any such Claims from the Releasees, or any one or more of them.
The Environmental School meets daily at outdoor sites. There are a number of risks and safety measures that are unique to the school. It is important that you read this entire document so that you understand all possible risks before giving consent for your child to participate in the Environmental School.
I hereby give my consent, and acknowledge by my signature that:
My child will be meeting and learning in a variety of outdoor and indoor locations within and outside SD42 boundaries. Locations outside SD42 boundaries include Hayward Lake and Kwantlen reserve in Fort Langley. A school calendar will be supplied with the exact meeting sites. Children will be dropped off and picked up at these locations by parents or caregivers.
Up to 110 students and 14 staff will be learning and teaching at our school meeting site. The ratio of teacher to student is approximately 1 to 18 at the school. Students will be supervised by Environmental School staff and the ratio of staff to students will be adjusted during the day to reflect the requirements of individual activities and ages of the students involved. My child will not necessarily be directly supervised by an adult at all times.
My child has no illnesses, allergies, or disabilities that may require special attention, except as described on the Student Information Verification form.
I am aware of the usual risks and dangers inherent in participation in all of the activities associated with this school, and of the possibility of personal injury, death, property damage, or loss resulting from the activities. The dangers and risks may include, but are not limited to the following:
Weather risks
Natural
Human
Activities
My child must follow the safety guidelines and plan for all different learning settings and guidelines specifically set out by teachers and community partners at the places and venues we attend.
When canoeing/boating or using watercraft, students must follow safety guidelines of instructors. Students must wear personal flotation devices (PFD). My child may participate in learning activities at various venues, including the ice rink, the leisure centre and other municipal parks, martial arts studios, and recreational areas. Hazards at such locations may include but are not limited to slipping, tripping and falling on ice; wearing skates that have sharp edges; slipping tripping and falling on slippery surfaces such as pool decks or rocks; learning in a water environment (hypothermia, drowning, bacterial infections); or slipping, tripping, and falling on other recreational surfaces such as grass, concrete, or gravel.
I will supply suitable equipment, clothing, and footwear for my child’s participation in all activities associated with the Environmental School, including helmets for biking or skating.
I am aware that I should contact the school for further information if I am unsure of clothing and equipment required for the activities or possible weather conditions. My child and I understand that it is our responsibility to ensure my child has all necessary equipment and clothing.
My child and I understand that the Environmental School’s Code of Conduct and Policy 9410: Safe, Caring and Healthy Schools applies during all school related activities and times. I will be responsible for any costs caused by my child’s failure to abide by the codes of conduct, including costs to send my child home.
Accidents can be the result of the nature of the activity and can occur with or without any fault on either the part of the student, or the school board or its employees or agents, or the facility where the activity is taking place. By allowing your child to participate in the Environmental School, you are accepting the risk of an accident occurring, and agree that this school, as described above, is suitable for your child.
In signing this Informed Consent and Waiver, I am not relying on any oral or written representation or statements made by the school board and its servants, agents, employees, or authorized volunteers, or the Ministry of Education and Child Care, to induce me to permit my child to enroll in the school, other than those set out in this Consent and Waiver.
I am 19 years of age or more and have read and understand the terms of this Informed Consent and Waiver, and understand that it is binding on me, my heirs, executors, and administrators.

Students who participate in the district One-to-One Inquiry Project are assigned a mobile device. This device is for the student’s use throughout the school year. At the end of the school year, the device must be returned to the school district in good condition.
Expectations and guidelines for students:
Additionally, all students must abide by the terms and conditions set out in board Policy 5780: Information Technology and Communication Systems – Appropriate Use Policy.
Expectations and guidelines for parents/guardians
A mobile device can provide your child with many educational advantages. Maple Ridge – Pitt Meadows School District staff will only confiscate a mobile device if the student damages the device, violates the above guidelines, or if they violate board Policy 5780: Information Technology and Communication Systems – Appropriate Use Policy.
Repeated violations will result in an extended confiscation of the device (for example, a week or longer). The mobile device is the property of the Maple Ridge – Pitt Meadows School District; the teacher, principal, or district staff may look through its contents and history at any time without notice while it is in the school.
Parents/guardians should set appropriate guidelines about when and how the device should be used at home and should feel as comfortable accessing the student’s mobile device as they would their workbook. Students will be instructed that they must provide parents/guardians and teachers with complete access to all their work.
Mobile devices have been set up to provide your child with access to an extensive array of educational resources, and new programs should not be installed without teacher approval.
Because the internet filters on these devices are limited, parents/guardians should monitor the passwords and browsing habits of their children and should help set positive internet habits by educating their children about internet use. In the event of theft, please contact the child’s teacher immediately. After a police report has been completed, built-in security software will be activated to track the device. Do not leave the device unsecured or in plain view. If reasonable care is not taken to keep the mobile device safe, in the event the device is damaged or lost, you will be responsible for the replacement or repair costs.
The approximate costs for replacement or repair of mobile devices and accessories are as follows: iPad $425, Screen $280-$425, Power Adapter $25, Power Adapter Cable $15, iPad Case $30.
For additional information about expectations, guidelines, and mobile device care, please review the One-to-One Inquiry Project Manual. To see a list of Frequently Asked Questions by parents/guardians, please visit https://inquiry.sd42.ca/parents/

In consideration of School District No. 42 (Maple Ridge – Pitt Meadows) offering my child an opportunity to participate in the Skilled Trades and Apprenticeship program, I waive any and all claims I may have against, and release from all liability and agree not to sue the board of education of School District No. 42 (Maple Ridge – Pitt Meadows) and its officers, employees, agents, volunteers, representatives, and the Ministry of Education and Child Care for any personal injury, death, property damage or loss sustained as a result of my child’s participation in the trades program activities arising out of any cause whatsoever, including negligence.
I hereby give my consent, and acknowledge by my signature that:
My child may attend the skilled trades and apprenticeship program and/or transportation to and from the affiliated post-secondary training institution associated with their trade for the purpose of obtaining specialized training or activities specific to their trade, within and outside of School District No.42 boundaries. Post-secondary locations include but are not limited to Kwantlen Polytechnic University, Vancouver Community College, and the British Columbia Institute of Technology.
Supervision: Once arriving at the post-secondary training site, the students will be supervised by a staff member from the post-secondary institution while class is in session and instruction is taking place, however, your child will not necessarily be directly supervised by an adult at all times. Where possible, transportation to and from the post-secondary institution will be provided by an approved school bussing company. While in transit, students are expected to abide by all rules and regulations outlined by the bussing company and/or driver. Any damage incurred to the bus or equipment therein that is the result of willful negligence or misconduct will be the student’s responsibility to replace or repair at the bussing company’s discretion. Students may also be required to take public transit to certain events or training opportunities. There will be no direct supervision while in transit.
My child has no illnesses, allergies, or disabilities that may require special attention, except as described on the Student Verification form.
I am aware of the usual risks and dangers inherent in participating in all of the activities associated with the skilled trades and apprenticeship program, and of the possibility of personal injury, death, property damage, or loss resulting from the activities. The dangers and risks may include, but are not limited to:
My child and I understand that it is our responsibility to ensure my child has all the necessary equipment and clothing. I am aware that I should contact the school for further information if I am unaware what clothing and equipment is required for the activities or possible weather conditions of these training opportunities.
My child and I understand that both the Policy 9410: Safe, Caring and Healthy Schools and the post-secondary school’s Code of Conduct apply during this training opportunity, including the transportation to and from the post-secondary site.
Post-secondary codes of conduct can be found in the following links: KPU, VCC and BCIT. I will be responsible for any costs that may arise as a result of my child’s failure to abide by the codes of conduct, including any costs to send my child home.
Accidents can be the result of the nature of the activities being performed and can occur with or without any fault on either the part of the student or the school board or its employees or agents, or the facility where the activity is taking place. By allowing your child to participate in these activities, you are accepting the risk of an accident occurring, and agree that this activity as described above is suitable for your child.
In signing this informed consent and waiver, I am not relying on any oral or written representation or statement made by the school board and its agents, employees, or authorized volunteers, or the Ministry of Education and Child Care, to induce me to permit my child to participate in this training opportunity or post-secondary visit, other than those set out in this informed consent and waiver.
I am 19 years of age or more and have read and understand the terms of this informed consent and waiver, and understand that it is binding on me, my heirs, executors, and administrators.

The education of children is not confined to the four walls of the classroom. Teachers enhance their curriculum with field trips outside the classroom. Walking field trips provide students the opportunity to engage in land-based and place-based learning. Normally, field trips are planned by teachers and communicated to you outlining the purpose and all relevant details concerning the specific trip. As a parent or guardian, you will be asked to consent to these field trips on an individual basis as they arise. However, teachers may also take their classes out of doors and off the school site to walk to various destinations within the school neighbourhood.
These walking field trips may be spontaneous, taking advantage of the weather or to collect or see something in the neighbourhood, and may also occur on a regular basis. Such field trips may include, but are not limited to, the following:
Supervision: The classroom teacher will directly supervise walking field trips. Depending on the grade level and the nature of the activity, additional supervision may be provided by teachers, school aides, or parents/guardians to meet the supervision requirements outlined in SD42 Board Policy: 8901 – Field Trips Including Extra Curricular Activities and SD42 Board Procedure: 8901.1 – Level 1 Field Trips Including Extra Curricular Activities. At all times, teachers will endeavour to ensure the safety of students during the walking field trip. Normally, elementary children will walk in line formation guided by adults, crossing roads at safe crossing points as a class.
Risk Reduction: Although walking field trips are considered low risk for accidents or personal injury to students, there are risks that could occur, including injuries from falling, slipping, tripping, danger from cars, traffic, parking lots, walking on sidewalks and beside roadways, safety around community buildings and structures, minor cuts and scrapes, not following teacher instructions and/or directions etc. However, classroom teachers will discuss behavioural expectations with students and take the appropriate safety precautions before embarking on the walking field trip to minimize risk and to enhance the safety of each student. First aid packs and cellular phones or walkie-talkies are taken or easily accessed on walking field trips in case of an emergency. Student emergency procedure plans/medical supplies will be brought for students with life-threatening medical conditions (e.g. anaphylaxis).
While on any field trip, it is important that students remember they are on a school outing and that behavioural expectations are consistent with all school rules. Accidents can be the result of the nature of the activity and can occur with or without any fault on either the part of the student, or the school board or its employees or agents, or the facility where the activity is taking place. By allowing your child to participate in walking field trips, you are accepting the risk of an accident occurring, and agree that this activity, as described above, is suitable for your child.
Because these walking field trips are sometimes impromptu in nature, the school is seeking, in advance, informed consent for your child to participate in walking field trips within our school community. These walking field trips are optional. Alternate arrangements will be made for students who do not participate.
