"NO SCHOOL" SIGNALS
7:15 A.M .- 3 blasts of the Einiger Mill whistle, repeated- No school in all schools-all day.
11:30 A.M .- 3 blasts of the Einiger Mill whistle, repeated-
One session, in which case schools will close at 12:15 PM 7:00 A.M .- 7:28 A.M .- 7:45 A.M .- 8:15 A.M .- WTAG broadcast of "no school" bulletins.
Since weather reports are not always reliable, and because the school department wishes to render maximum educational service by having schools open the greatest number of days, storm signals will not be used when there is reasonable doubt. Weather conditions may warrant the non-attendance of certain pupils who at the moment lack normal health. This would tend to make it advisable for parents to keep the child at home.
Good health is essential to sound education. Care for your child's health by keeping him at home when in your opinion as a parent his health interest would be best served.
For admission to the first grade in the schools of Douglas, the parent or guardian must present a birth certificate showing that the pupil is six years of age by December 31st of the year they enter school. Those pupils whose birthday falls between January 1st and February 28th may request a test to determine the child's readiness for school. Such tests will be administered under the supervision of Miss Sambroski. The results of the test shall be final in determining the acceptability of the child tested to grade one.
