I just wanted to let you know that the non-print resources (i.e. resource centre kits) are now posted on the PSSD website. You click on the 'Parents" icon, then the "Homebased Education Icon" then scroll down to resources: it will then list all the kits that we have available for our homebased parents to sign out.
Please contact Carol (683-2830) for further details.
Did you know...
