Fall Registration
Ami Schedules
Pre-Registration: Will be held
in the Multi-Purpose Room
Aug. 23 and 24, from 9 to 12 and
1 to 4 each day. Parents will please
register all children, including
high school students, who are en
tering the school in September
during the two-day period.
First Grade Readiness Tests: All
incoming First Grade pupils will
be given Metropolitan Readiness
Tests for placement purposes dur
ing the registration period. Pre
registration can be taken care of
at the same time. All parents are
urged to have their children
there for the tests.
Fall Daily Schedule: School will
open on Tuesday, Sept. 5. Grades
1 through 6 will be on shift, one
from 8 a. m. to 12:30 p. m., and
the others from 1 p. m. to 5:30
p. m. The Junior and Senior High
School will not be on shift in the
fall. The high school hours will
be from 8 a. m. to 12, and 1 to
3 p. m.
Due to the many requests al
ready received and those anti
cipated later, it has become ob
vious that the school will be un
able to grant special parental re
quests for a particular shift,
morning or afternoon. The compli
cations are so great that it would
be impossible to woi'k out a pro
gram to everyone’s satisfaction.
The Nugget will publish the
names of the children on shift
on Friday, Sept. 1st indicating
the particular shift a child will
attend. It will help all concerned
if the children could be sent to
school according to the proper
schedule. It is also anticipated
that the city fire alarm will be
sounded at 7:30 a. m. each school
day to help the younger children
get to school on time.
It is also urged that the par
ents of children who might still
be staying at summer camps make
arrangements to register the chil
dren either on the 23rd or 24th
of August, and to have them at
school on opening day. It will be
of great benefit to the children
concerned.
Please remember! School will
open Sept. 5.
