Translate8 May, 2015
Dear Parents/Guardians of Elementary and Junior High School Students,
We would like to provide you with a further update with regards to planned job action by the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO).
ETFO has formally given notice that elementary teachers will begin a partial withdrawal of service on Monday, May 11, 2015. The law permits the partial withdrawal of service while in a strike position.
All TDSB schools will remain open and programming will continue.
ETFO has directed teachers to continue to:
- Teach and provide extra help to students.
- Take attendance.
- Maintain contact with parents/guardians regarding students during the instructional day.
- Provide scheduled supervisory duties.
- Participate in extra–curricular activities.
ETFO has directed teachers to not:
- Participate in EQAO (standardized testing).
- Participate in other Ministry of Education initiatives.
We encourage all parents/guardians to monitor the TDSB website at www.tdsb.on.ca or follow us on Twitter at @TDSB for regular updates.
We remain hopeful that a mutually acceptable resolution can be reached without further disruptions to the school day.
Sincerely,
Donna Quan
Director of Education
