Two months into the school year, and what a whirlwind it has already been! From “Meet the Teacher” nights to staff meetings, professional development days, coaching school teams, leading bands and clubs, supporting students with diverse needs, and mentoring colleagues both formally and informally - you have approached the start of the year with energy, dedication, and remarkable skill.

Wear Red4Ed – Every Monday! ETFO Thames Valley Teacher Local members are encouraged to wear red every Monday in solidarity with our colleagues in Alberta, who are currently on strike.

As we head into our fall long weekend, I want to take a moment to thank you for everything you’ve done so far this school year to make our profession incredible — and what a start it’s been!
