Cyber school issues 2003

Saskatoon Catholic Cyber School September 19, 2003


These are just a few of the things simmering here in the cyber school. I am not sure who I need to contact to assist us in making some of these happen. Some are world-wide issues, some are provincial-wide, some are city-wide, some are system-wide, some are school-wide and some are building issues. So, I sent it to everyone who might be able to help. It none of these issues pertain to your portfolio, I hope it was a good read :)
If you need clarification on any of these, please do not hesitate to come by and visit. You can see the new improved cyber school, the renos are almost done.

Air Conditioner Noise and downstairs machine (health issue)
