Junior high and elementary grades will receive their rental books on Saturday afternoon, Sept. 4. The other students will receive their rental books and locker keys on the days they register. My office will be open from nine until twelve and from one until four each day of the week beginning Aug. 30.
New and different, report cards will be used this year. There will be three types: one-for grades one, two and three, one for grades four, five, six and seven, and one for the eighth grade and the senior high. This report card is fuller and gives a better cross section of the pupil and his work than have the cards used in other years. As citizenship is one of the greatest factors in school life, I am sure that this new type card will check the various citizenship points more closely.
New students entering the ninth grade from the rural schools, please bring your certificate -of promotion with you when you register. School begins Monday, Sept. 6.
