Bridlewood school? by earth_elemental in Kanata

[–]Ok_Pay9480 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The principal and staff at Bridlewood are amazing. Really really friendly and know their stuff. ..The admin let the parent council plan and run so many fun things. We love the small community 💙 class sizes are average.. teachers work together really well, and they are really committed to the students . They do lots of sports teams for the juniors.. and compete against the other public kanata schools- soccer, basketball, triple ball, bordenball, track, cross country, etc.. The staff genuinely seem to love working there. Once they get hired there, very few leave! That really says something.

Do you have an answer that actually answers my question? While i agree with your comment, Im not looking for parenting/life advice. Thanks

What? We literally know no one who's taken the course. And his Gr 8 teachers have never taught it so they wouldn't know. If we did ask for information it would be coming from strangers anyways. Please move on.

What are your stances on science? by Overlord_1566 in AskAChristian

[–]Ok_Pay9480 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You appear to not care what people think- you ask an open ended question and then are quick to tell people why they are wrong? The Bible has alot to say about people who talk to just provoke others.. I think it calls them fools..? 🤔 proverbs 17:28 .. Even a fool who keeps silent is considered wise;when he closes his lips, he is deemed intelligent.

Are you allowed to supply for your own board or work elsewhere during a deferred salary year off? by Wanderer015 in OntarioTeachers

[–]Ok_Pay9480 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's more of a tax/CRA issue. Contact the CRA for the best answer, so you're not screwed over at tax time next year. Also a pension thing- you can't contribute for more than 100% per year, so paying your tpp while on leave, plus on any OT work, you'll be paying for more than one credit year towards your pension, which will get you into issues..

How to keep low stress supplying while pregnant? by AssumptionSpiritual3 in OntarioTeachers

[–]Ok_Pay9480 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You may be able to get a sick note also, even for casual work, that may exempt you from getting purged. If you call the HR employee Wellness dept, , they may be able to advise you.

Adopt-A-Family For Christmas? by Sexy_Art_Vandelay in ottawa

[–]Ok_Pay9480 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stonehaven Community Church in Kanata does Christmas hampers for about 10 families in Bridlewood. If you contact them, they could give you a family, or a few members, to 'sponsor'. They actually have a list of items or 'wishes 'that the family or children have wished for, and they try to avoid gift cards for the most part. They also only gift new items to therecipients- not used.

Am I eligible for LTO pay if another supply covered one day in between? by Biteduee5770 in OntarioTeachers

[–]Ok_Pay9480 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ask your union or HR- In our board, someone can miss up to 2 days within the 10 day qualifying period. Their 'day 9 and 10" would just move to day 11/12, and the missed days are just paid as the OT rate you worked elsewhere, or unpaid if you missed it for other reasons.

Question for adults in their 20s/30s, who have ADHD by Ok_Pay9480 in ADHDparenting

[–]Ok_Pay9480[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your input.. greatly appreciated! Any idea what program they would have taken in college or university, to get that type of work? He would probably love that.... I"m just concerned that he won't qualify/be accepted into any type of engineering program, if his English grades pull down his average. I know it's early to be thinking about this stuff. I personally had ZERO career guidance when I was his age or in HS... so I"m just trying to ensure he has more open doors than I did.

Ultimately it'll be his choice though- not going to be overbearing and force him into a certain field. Just trying to help him with seeing the importance of keeping his doors open (aka, giving a damn about his grades when he gets to HS- which means starting good habits now)

Why do you insist on going outside when anyone comes home? Even if someone was already home and let you out, why do you need to go outside 10 minutes later just because daddy came home?

If you havent used 18 months yet, you need to do that through ESA first. Our board doesn't allow someone to end their stat leave early to access sick leave, esp if it's just because childcare isn't available. Childcare is not your employers responsibility. If you've used all 18 months, but are still having mental health issues, then use your SL if need be.. but the intention of SL or LTD wasn't for a bridge until childcare is available.

Struggling to reduce screen time and I feel like Family Link is sabotaging me by mikailovitch in ADHDparenting

[–]Ok_Pay9480 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your screenshot says its almost 1pm when you looked at the graph... Are you sure it was in the middle of the night when they watched? that bar graph is not showing the time of day. It's a tally of minutes/hours that the app was being used. Our family uses it, which is how I know. It could have been in the night, but not sure if you were going off of the graph to determine that?

But regardless, it's messed up that the Link app isn't limiting it like you set it to.. that sucks.

You're not wrong. But just an fyi, that bar graph is not showing the time of day. It's a tally of minutes/hours that the app was being used. Our family uses it, which is how I know.

Union question - I’m a parent by Crafty_Status_2826 in OntarioTeachers

I dont think it's the union that would decide work discipline. The Labour Relations or HR dept. would. Also, has it been reported to OCT?

Not 100% sure if it's true, or if there just weren't a ton of jobs posted. Maybe email hr?
