On behalf of the board of education, administration, instructional staff, support staff, and the community … thank you for your efforts serving the students, our clients, and each other. It takes a lot of talented people to run our programs and services that we provide.   As a substitute employee you are a valuable asset to the continued success of our operations.  Your dedication and enthusiasm to assist in the educational process is greatly appreciated.  We wish you a safe and enjoyable summer during this unprecedented time.  We hope you stay safe and stay well.

Re-Appointment letters will be sent in the month of June.  Please complete and return the letter immediately, even if you do not wish to continue as a per diem substitute for the 2020-2021 school year.  This letter is our only verification regarding the status of your per diem substitute employment for the next school year.

Continue to log into the Sub Hub for updates and information regarding the 2020 -2021 school year.  Updates will be posted during the summer months.

REF:     Direct Deposit

The Orleans/Niagara BOCES is taking a pro-active approach when it comes to any potential emergency that may require us to close for a period of time.  Therefore, we are reaching out to employees that currently receive a paper check for payroll.  Should we need to close, we will be unable to produce paper checks and your pay will be delayed until we are able to do so.  We are requiring you to begin direct deposit of your payroll beginning with the April 17, 2020 pay date.  If you have any questions please feel free to contact the payroll office.  Thank you for your attention to this matter.

To Orleans/Niagara BOCES Substitute Employees:

 

This is just a reminder that, consistent with the reasonable assurance letters that are sent to substitute employees before the start of the school year, your reasonable assurance of available work will continue for periods of employment immediately before and after vacations and/or holidays during the 2019-2020 school year, in accordance with the approved school calendar; and you are expected to return to work as substitute assignments become available at the conclusion of each vacation period.

We look forward to seeing you when your duties resume on February 24, 2020.  Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact Susan Soos at 716-731-6800 x 2215.  

 

Enjoy a restful holiday!
