Dear Patrons and Children Of
District n:
mo doubt all the school children
know. and most Of the parents know.
that school opens on Monday morning.
Aug. rs. Ii Ii planned 10 have every
thing IA complete readiness 10 begin
the actual school work n o'clock
on the morning Of Aug. Is. feel
certain all the pupils have had very
pleasant vacation with much hard
work and much fun. ] feel equally
certain that practically all OF you Will
welcome the change from vacation TO
school work.
.The janitor has been hard at work
for some time cleaning the building
so we may have nice clean building
TO begin the years work. Then let
US all help him To keep everything
nice and In good order. The routes
have all been let; two routes have
been changed some but the others re-
main practically the same. The time
schedule for each route will remain
practically the same. No doubt all
the drivers are looking forward 10 n
very pleasant year with the children
along the way.
There are a number OF boys and
girls who are coming to school for the
first time this year. Come on. little
folks. but remember. you must be six
years old before Dec. 4. 1924, or We
shall have to send you home till next
fall.
"That man In the office has tried
hard TO secure the best corps OF teach
ers the school has ever had. hope
he succeeded. don't your He says he
has, az least, secured experienced
teachers: all have had from one year
to several. I know they will do their
level best. They all plan to be here
on Aug. %. 80 they will know just
what 10 do the FIRST morning.
Parents who wish excuse from
school for children over "a, valid
until Nov. I, must make application
| for such excuse AT once an the school
board will act upon excuses for this
fall at the September meeting only.
Like last year, we want 10 ash .
the children bring their noon h-sn
In closed containers. Bringing lunch
| In bit OF newspaper a far from san
itary and II not very appetizing.
Last year we tried TO reduce the
matter Of permission Of going up
town 10 the least possible. With the
opening OF the second mail route there
should be but little need for pupils
leaving the school ground during tho
day. Last year pupils who had err
rands from home had permission to
leave the school grounds during the
last recess period without asking.
Permission to leave during the noon
hour and forenoon recess was secured
AT the office, such permission was
granted upon real or supposed request
from the home. May we ask the
parents to assist as In keeping the
children where you know where they
areg
High school students and eighth
grade pupils OF last year may secure
their papers and certificates by cali
ing nj the school house between o
and ~ and . and s any week day be-
fore school opens.
"It IL indeed gratifying In travel
ing over the roads In the district To
see the large amount OF brush that
has disappeared along the roadside
during the past year. But - there
Is still some left; no doubt much OF
this will disappear before snow flies
The township has deepcned some
bitches and done considerable grad
Ing during the summer. The two
factors will please not only the
drivers but also the parents and
children as that insures safer trans
portation. M
-Of course. there win be matters,
either In school or with Transporter
tion. that will cause some dissatis-
faction. May ! request that you take
your complaints and dissatisfacfions
10 the office az once and talk them
over therey Generally there are two
