Parents/Guardians are urged to fill out the permission forms for student computer access, media release, and field trips if not already done. This all-inclusive “permissions” sheet will allow MDJH to issue computer usernames and passwords to students. It is important that both students and parents/guardians read the literature and fill out appropriate fields and return to school either electronically (terrilynncoady@nlesd.ca) or have hard copy dropped at the office. Over the next week our tech department will be reviewing student computer accounts. To retain an active account the permission form must be submitted to the school. ” Thank you for your co-operation.
