Being asked to fill in for EAs/ECEs?
Occasional Teachers and Itinerant LTOs are hired to replace absent Teachers. Sometimes however when an EA or ECE is absent, a TVOT member may be asked to help out. Please note that TVOT members may help out as an additional Teacher in that classroom, however we don't take on the duties of another bargaining unit, nor are we trained for the responsibilities of an EA or ECE.
TVOT members are urged to contact the TVOT Office or by phone at 519-641-3936 for further clarification.

#BlackGirlMagic
The 2023 ETFO Black History Month poster is a visual representation of the beauty that lies within Black features: specifically, hair, nose, and lips, that have been historically criminalized and degraded by white beauty standards. The sisterhood and solidarity on display speaks to the relationships and mentoring that are crucial in the Black community and can be more widespread in classrooms with more Black educators.
Our two subjects are a living representation of Black girl magic, the ability for Black love and joy to be found and celebrated in a world that often does not love them back.

If there is a shadow = 6 weeks more of winter;
No shadow = spring will arrive early this year.
