Afternoon Breakout Sessions (Choose One)

1:15 pm – 3:15 pm

Breakout Session 1: Sharing information on our latest software modules

Who Should Attend: Ideal for School Boards looking to simplify how they manage HR processes relating to their employees.  

Missed Planning Time - 50 minutes

This module went live in March, 2025.  

See how School Boards have simplified tracking and paying back Missed Planning Time.

  • Employees enter Missed Planning Time to ensure it was done per your policies and procedures.  
  • P/VPs approve and pay back Missed Planning Time at their school.    
  • HR can review Missed Planning Time balances by location and employee to track which ones need to be repaid.  

Generating automated reports with activity logs gives you a rock solid foundation to manage Missed Planning Time that Google Docs or SharePoint cannot offer.  

There will be 10 minute break in between

Attendance Support Module - 50 minutes. Scheduled to go live Fall 2025

  • Automate identifying employees that reach or miss your attendance thresholds within each stage of your attendance support program.  
  • It will simplify how Ontario School Boards meet the requirements of PPM 171  

 

Hosted by Mark Laurie, Co-founder, ApplyToEducation    

Breakout Session 2: Campus Recruitment Workshop

1:15 pm – 3:15 pm

Who should attend: HR staff with responsibility for hiring new grads including human resource staff, recruiters, principals, and vice principals.

In this session, you will create a first draft campus recruitment plan tailored specifically for your organization. We will utilize the key insights gained from the morning session and adapt them to suit your school board.

This interactive discussion will focus on:

  • Identifying recruitment challenges and brainstorming solutions
