On Tuesday, you may see them in the halls of the Secondary School and we might want to visit your class to film learning in action. As always, participation is optional – please let us know if we can come in or not to record.
Many thanks for your support,
Kyle

About the Housing Rental Request Form
We’ll reschedule the eRequest System training soon. One of the task after the training, is to help our teachers with the housing rental E-request for the next school year.
Some teachers could find a copy of your current year housing rental request form in the mailroom. Please keep it, in case you need a sample to fill in the e-Request Form. It included the info such as the description of the rental period, bank info and payment amount.
Also, you could ask your landlord or housing rental agent for the info when filling the e-Request Form.
