Halton Hills This Week, Saturday, September 25, 1993 — Page 9 Elementary separate schools prepare for the future By Oksana Buhel Halton Roman Catholic elementary schools in Halton Hills are preparing for the new rated age. the Sept. 15 edition of HHTW, it was reported not ‘one of the four separate ele-_ mentary schools in Halton Hills had computer worksta- tions.

Each student has a “computer buddy” who works with them, and they also have a “computer coach” (older stu- dent) who can answer ques- tions. If that doesn’t work, each school has a computer resource consultant who deals with any problems. 877-5165 24 HR. PAGER *sales rep.
