The Countdown is On!

As Spring rolls around there are many requirements that need to be completed before the end of the school year.  The following is important information for you to remain on the list:
  • Pay your College of Teachers' fee by April 15th.  If you were in an LTO assignment on January first check on the Employee Portal that your fees were deducted by payroll. If you missed the deadline and wish to teach this year,  you will have to complete the OCT Membership Reinstatement form and pay a $130 reinstatement fee, in addition to the annual fee of $120.
  • Complete online Statement of Intent to Remain on the List by April 30th on the TVDSB Employee Portal. This begins a three step process in HRS Applications which also leads to your WHMIS review and Annual Offence Declaration.
  • Teach at least five (5) days (in total) in an elementary site
  • Complete the  22 mandatory online training modules by June 30th
  • Notify TVDSB of any changes to name, address and telephone number
With regards to the Mandatory On-Line training modules completed via the Employee Portal under Mandatory Training,  you have until June 30th to complete them.  June 30th is the day in which you will be paid.  A reminder to all RETIRED TEACHERS, you will have to reserve at least one day in June to meet restrictions set by the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan.

On another note, we are receiving wonderful feedback from presenters and attendees regarding our April 8th, PD event at Althouse College.  The presenters enjoyed meeting and presenting to our members.  They appreciated your eagerness and willingness to participate in tasks and discussions. 

Best wishes to all for a wonderful Easter break!
