** IMPORTANT REMINDER ** Mandatory Requirement for Winter 2023 Placement

This is a reminder that mandatory documents are required for your Winter 2023 placement.  Without these documents (VSS and H&S), your selected school board will be unable to confirm your placement.

The placement dates are as follows: 
Year 1 Students - March 20 to April 28, 2023
Year 2 Students - March 20 to April 25, 2023

What you need to do in preparation for your Winter 2023 placement
Placement Requirement Checklist 
✅  Apply for your new Vulnerable Sector Screening (VSS) - a valid VSS must be dated within 6 months of the placement start date. Don't forget our letter! Submit your VSS to our Winter document collection tool here by February 6th, 2023 @ 4:00 pm

✅  Health and Safety Training - Complete the Board Specific Instructions for the school board you selected on your Placement Preference Form. Submit your documentation to our Winter document collection tool here by March 3rd, 2023 @ 4:00 pm.  If your Winter placement is in the same school board as your fall placement, please check the Board Specific Instructions for any new training. If there is no new training, you can upload your current H&S documents to the portal.

✅  Review the Practicum Guide 

Please Note:  If the Placement Team does not receive a valid VSS (dated within 6 months of the start of the placement period), you will not be permitted to proceed to placement.       
No VSS = No placement
