First is the Department of Education is making it a . requisite of grades 9, 10 and 11 that they have this year at least 150 days attendance out of a possible 200 days. This regulation in 1938-39 will be rigidly enforced. May I ask, parents and students, that you co­operate with us in getting in to school early and attending regularly, too close to the line of 150 days. Grade 12 students'no regulation down, but anyone carrying Grade should be sure to attend even a number of days than the minimum difficulty of the oourses. Second is in the care of our The School Board, and through them your parents, have spent much time and money in repairing and cleaning our school. Let’s exercise caution in its use. One of. the greatest problems in taking care of the building is caused by students going to school too early before school, both morning ■and noon. supervised before 8:45 A. M. and before 1:15 P. M Before that time arrives ask your cooperation in the of our problems at the High matter of attendance. The Don’t play For is laid 12 courses greater due to the building The building is not properly Gould you solve our problem by seeing that your children do not leave home I oefore time? Some children are back at school at 12:30 after the noon hour. This is altogether unnecessary and we would, greatly appreciate it if you would hold your! boys and girls home until just time for j them to arrive at school for its assembly. I May I thank you in anticipation of your I cooperation? Grant G. Woolley. -------------------------- ;---------M--------------------------------------| Ladies!
