To the Patrons Of the John M. Clay
ton School:
Personally / desire to express my
| appreciation of the cooperation Of
the parents in helping as to start
school at an earlier date than that
set by the State Board. The earlier
opening date was selected as an ex-
pertinent to see if we could not Sc
cure a higher percentage of attend
ance in the spring by closing school
earlier than the time set by the State
Board. Last season some rooms
during the last two weeks of school
had only about one-half of the pu-
pills in attendance and it is our hope
that by closing the school earlier we
will save some of this loss of at
tendance and in this, help the pupils
to secure promotion to the upper
classes.
On Monday, September IA, the
Southeastern Sussex Elementary
Teachers meeting win be held at
the John M. Clayton School; cOnse-
quently on that date the first six
grades will not have school. The
high school will be in session as
usual.
Sincerely yours,
Clarence H. Short, Supt.
