Employees of TVDSB who travel outside of Canada generally cannot access their Board emails. To ensure access, employees need to notify the Board's IT Help Desk at least 7 days in advance in order to minimize complications with TVDSB's multifactor authentication. 
To do this:
1) From the TVDSB Employee Portal log-in page, select "Help Hub Help Desk"
2) Log-in with "Sign-in Using Office365 (SSO)"
3) You may be asked to sign-in with your Board Outlook account, TV#####@tvdsb.ca
4) Once in, type into the search bar: Request login access for travel outside of Canada
5) Select appropriate link for cellphones and enter the required information (Supervisor for this purpose is Roxanne Jones / roxanne.jones@tvdsb.ca
Important -
- This must be done at least 7 days prior to leaving the country.
- If you are already outside of the country, call the Help Hub at 519-452-2005 but you must be able to receive texts to your Board registered cellphone.
