Registration for PD

As you know, we have upgraded our PD registration system. Since we changed from one system to another, we had many decisions to make. One of those decisions was what to do with the registrations that were completed in the “old” system.

We could leave the previous registrations in the old system. This would mean that teachers would need to log into two different systems to track all of their registrations and PD attended.

Or, we could transfer all of the registrations to the new system. We have chosen to undertake the transferring all of the registrations.

Since we are transferring the data, you will receive an email notification that are registered for an event.

Please check the dates of the event. If the event has passed, you can safely archive or delete the email.
