 Must Present Cards
 All pupils coming to Juneau from any other school must present a report card or transcript from the school previously attended. No stu dent may enroll in the Juneau High School without this report card or transcript of credits. All freshmen students enrolling in Ju- neau High School must bring a report card or other evidence to show that they have previously completed the eighth grade. This applies to former Juneau Grade School students as well as to stu dents from other schools.
 Parents must accompany their children to school if they are to enroll in the Kindergarten the first day. No students will be accepted into Kindergarten unless the parent does ,-ne and register that pupil with the teacher Friends, neigh bors, elder brothers or sisters will not suffice
 Kindergarten will be operated in two sessions daily; one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Kindergarten students may not at tend beth sessions. All students should enroll from 10 to 11:30 am. on September 3, although they will also be accepted from 80 to 3:15 in the afternoon if necessary.
 Sessions Divided
 Kindergarten students register ing in the morning will be divided into sessions and parents told to which session to send them at the time Of enrolling Parents will be given a choice of morning or af- ternCon sessions so far as possible, although the teacher will be the final judge if there is not an equi- table division of the group made voluntarily by the parents.
 Students assigned to the morn ing session of the Kindergarten will be changed to the afternoon ses- sion at the start of the second ternoon session at the opening of school this fall will be changed to the morning session at the end of the first semester.

Parents are cautioned that the age given at school entrance becomes official and is carried throughout life.
 Occasionally a parent, in her anxiety to get her children in school, will state the age of her children as older than they really are. For this reason, school author ities request that students en- rolling in the first grace or kinder garten bring birth certificates with them. This does not apply to stu dents who attended the Juneau kindergarten last year.
