This year 2 students were funded with one heading to Onward for 2 weeks and the other student participating in a week of camp at Link 2 Language.

New Posting Procedure for Permanent and Probationary Teachers – applytoeducation.com

Consistent with the Board's Strategic Priorities 2007-2010, Human Resources Services intends to implement strategies identified within the "Accountability Framework : "Use information technology effectively toward enhancing human resources management."

Effective April 15, 2008, all permanent and probationary OECTA members who wish to apply to internal job postings, must register on applytoeducation.com so that they can access internal job postings and submit applications directly to the Board. This practice replaces our previous First Class process and is at no cost to staff. The new procedure is much more efficient for Staff, Administrative Teams and Human Resources Services.

Instruction manuals regarding how to register with applytoeducation.com and how to view and apply to internal job postings can be accessed on the Board web-site under Staff/Human Resources/ Internal Job Postings /Teaching Postings, or in the Teacher conference site on the First Class e-mail system. A copy of the manual has also been attached to this message.

Connecting with Your United Way!

For the past several years, employees and students in the London District Catholic School Board have reached their United Way target, thanks to the generosity and hard work of so many people. But our connection goes much deeper than that.  Many LDCSB employees are involved with one or more of the many member agencies of the United Way Campaigns in London/Middlesex, Elgin and Oxford. If you are involved, we would like to hear from you! Please email with the agency that you are supporting with your volunteer hours. (All information will be held in confidence)
