Staff Room Move and Packing Instructions

Staff Room Move Instructions

Crates will be delivered to your current staff room in the week commencing 1st December

Please pack into these crates:

- Items for your new desk (1 crate only)

- Items / filing from your desk, or adjacent cupboard needing storage in the new staff room (requires approval for shared shelving space). Extra crates can be used for this.

Please stack the crates on the ''skates'' which will also be provided. they can go 3 x high and are then easy to move around.

The Removalist are packing all store rooms and bulk storage areas.

Moving Labels will also be delivered in the week commencing 1st December.

A moving label must be affixed to every item moving including your packed crates.

Please label the short side of the crate and NOT on the top of the crate (as we wont see it once it is stacked)

It is vitally important that you only use the colour specific to your new block and new level level. Please find color allocations here LABEL COLOURS & How to write on labels.
