Border Land School Division desires to recognize significant events in the lives of all employees and schools. These events may be of a corporate or private nature. In order to acknowledge these events, an appropriate response will be forthcoming from the Division.
Staff Recognition
- In the event of a death of spouse or significant other, child, and parent or
parent in-law, the Division will send an appropriate response expressing
our sympathy between the amounts of $30-75.
Long Term Service and Retirement
It is the intent of the Border Land School Division that staff members (teachers, bus drivers, custodians, clerical, educational assistants and other support staff) be appropriately recognized for long-term service and retirement. In particular that:
- This recognition will be given after ten years of cumulative service and every five years thereafter.
- Recognition shall be in the form of appropriate gifts, related to the length of service.
- Any employee who retires from the Division shall also be recognized with an appropriate gift.
- Any other recognition is to be at the discretion of the Board.
- Whenever possible, such recognition shall take place annually, and at such time and place where the majority of Border Land employees are expected to attend.
The Division will post a list prior to the event so as to correct any omissions.
Gifts for each recognized year of service will be selected from an online awards web page. The link for this web page will be provided to all those employees receiving a recognition award.
