All permanent teachers employed during the 2016/2017 school year and are actively teaching in 2017/2018 or 2018/2019 are entitled to one paid day off work. This day can be taken during EITHER the 2017/2018 or 2018/2019 school year.

If you did not take your remedy day last school year, please take it this year. You should be able to submit the day in Smartfind now.
