Securing NEW PRC/VSS Documentation for your January 2019 return

This is a reminder that every B.Ed student will be required to secure NEW PRC/VSS documentation for their March/April 2019 placement. 

This is an effort to ensure that all students have valid documentation for placement in the New Year, regardless of what board they are completing their winter placement in.

We have attached the generic letter to be used for any OPP or local police service location. Please print this letter and take it with you when you visit the detachment, to start the process.

Similarly, any student living in the GTA and planning to go to Toronto Police Services, please use the attached application form (must print on legal size paper). 

For those of you in-line to graduate in June 2019 - this new PRC can be used in your Ontario College of Teachers certification application profile.

REMEMBER: It is your responsibility to understand what your specific school board requires, with respect to PRC/VSS documentation submission etc.  Please see the original email from Laura Morgan, Placement Officer, 
dated December 18, 2018.

Thank you and see you in the new year!
