The required online mandatory training modules are posted in the Employee Portal under the link "Employee Training". Both daily OTs and LTOs must complete these before the end of the school day on June 29, 2018. Daily OTs will receive .5 of a day of pay and LTOs will have completed most of these on Board paid time.
N.B. Check off each completed module as completed then log back in - if the check mark is still there, completion has been recognized.
