Manitoba School for the Deaf is looking for
enthusiastic, outgoing families who will welcome a Deaf student into their home
for the 2014/2015 school year.
Homestay is rewarding for both the family and the
students who participate.
We would welcome you to talk with us if you:
·
Can communicate in ASL
·
Have a private bedroom for the
student
·
Will include the student in your
day to day family life
·
Be willing to take the student on
outings
HOST
FAMILIES WILL BE COMPENSATED $600.00/month (for 10 months).
The
compensation is NON TAXABLE.
Homestay families must provide a safe and supportive
environment for our Deaf student. All families will be screened and visited
before a decision can be made to have a student in the home.
All family members 18 years of age and over must
undergo a Winnipeg Police Service “Personal Request for Criminal Record Search”
and a Province of Manitoba “Child Abuse Registry Access Application” to ensure
safety of the student.
Students are placed in the home during the school
year. Students typically go home on weekends, and all school holiday breaks.
