LTO Interviews; BMO Event; Paid PD Days

We've been receiving some telephone calls and emails pertaining to the following:

Next round of interviews that the Board will be holding for LTOs.  In February, the Board will be sending communication via 1st Class ASKING if anyone is interested in an LTO.  Once responses from members are collected, then those interested will be contacted with interview dates. Since there are still members on the LTO List who have not been placed in long-term assignments, the Board has no plans to open the list in the interim.

February 25, PD Event at the BMO Centre.  This PD Event is being presented by your ETFO Thames Valley Occasional Teachers' Local - for you by your Union and not by the Board.  This is an "after-school" opportunity, from 4:30 - 7:30 PM, for your professional benefit with well-recommended free resources for those who participate.  There is no pay if you attend.

Registration for this event is completed on-line via the ETFO-Local website; www.etfotvot.com.  You must first have an activated account to register. Space is limited and filling up.  Registration will close on February 20th, noon.

For assistance activating your etfotvot account, contact Debbie at 519-641-3936 for assistance.

Paid PD Days in June.  Information regarding these days will be forthcoming from the Board when they have worked out the details.  This year there will be no mandatory online modules or paid PD opportunities until June.
