Some spots are still available for our March 27th paid PD event and dinner being held at the Lamplighter Inn in London from 4:30 - 7:30 PM. Each session counts as a half-day of teaching for those that are eligible to participate. (Contact Terri Manning in Staff Development at t.manning@tvdsb.ca if you have questions).Our "Kindergarten Literacy" session is fully booked but TVOT members can still register for either:
- "Unlocking Assessment for Learning: how to use leraning goals, success criteria, evidence and feedback to transform student learning" or
- "Reaching and Teaching Them All: making quick and lasting connections with every student in your classroom".
We look forward to meeting you there.

Sometimes mistakes happen so we encourage members to regularly check their TVDSB pay stubs in the Employee Portal. If a call to the Board's payroll helpline doesn't solve your issue, then please contact your TVOT Local at etfotvot@gmail.com ____________________
