Returning Substitutes

Returning Substitutes, Retirees & Term Teachers

Returning substitutes, retirees and term teachers employed by the Halifax Regional Centre for Education in the previous school year must confirm their intent to return to active substituting by completing the online Substitute Confirmation Form accessible via the dropdown menu at www.myHRCE.ca. Retirees who intend to substitute after retirement should complete Substitute Teacher Confirmation Form within 3 months of retirement date and will be issued a new employee ID.

After completion of the Confirmation Form you will typically be able to log in within 5 business days. During peak periods (i.e. August - October) the turn around time may be longer. Once you have been activated we will email your login information including your ID and PIN number. You will then be able to personalize your AESOP account by selecting your preferred schools and managing your call times and availability.
