Finding the Time

For early childhood teachers attending school, this can be a very busy time of the year. Finishing up finals, shopping, and spending time with friends and families brings joy to some and stress to others. Please know that T.E.A.C.H. WV is here to support you as always. To relieve some of the stress that may arise about attending classes next semester, we have a few reminders.

• As soon as you have your grades for the Fall 2013 semester, please send them in either through email, fax, or mail (teachwv@rvcds.org, 304-529-2535).

• When you are thinking about your classes for the Spring semester, remember that T.E.A.C.H. needs to pre-authorize your courses for coverage. This requires that you send in your pre-authorization form with the classes you plan to take. If you do not have your form, it can be found on our website at http://www.wvearlychildhood.org/teach_wv.html in the "Recipient and Sponsor Forms" section, or you can contact T.E.AC.H. and I can email one to you.

• Be aware that T.E.AC.H. only covers a certain percentage of your tuition and books. That percentage varies dependent on the type of scholarship you have. Therefore, you may be invoiced for the remaining percentage. The invoice will come from us.

• Please make sure your sponsor submits Form C to us for reimbursement of release time. This form can also be found on our website in the "Recipient and Sponsor Forms".

• Your bonus will be sent to you after we have received verification that you have successfully completed your contract credit hours at the end of your contract year.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me!
