Cafeteria Service
I wish to congratulate all the personnel in the cafeteria for their management and cleanliness in handling the school lunches both in the elementary and the high school.
May I also thank all the teachers, custodians, superintendent, prin- cipals, students and parents for their cooperation in carrying out our health program.
In closing I wish to thank Dr. Robert Love, School Physician, for this interest and professional ability in caring for the health examina- tions and clinics in our schools.
Respectfully submitted,
FLORENCE L. STOBBART, R.N.,
School Nurse

AGE OF ADMITTANCE
Pupils entering the kindergarten in September must have been at least four years of age on January 1st preceding entrance in September.
Pupils entering the first grade in September must have been at least five years of age on January 1st preceding entrance in September.
VACCINATION
Children who have not been vaccinated will not be admitted to school in September unless they present a certificate from a regular practicing physician stating that they are not fit subjects for vaccination. Parents are requested to attend to this matter during the summer vaca- tion, as certificates of vaccination or exemption must be presented at the opening of school to entitle children to admission.
NO-SCHOOL SIGNAL
As a matter of policy school will be in session whenever possible. When weather conditions are questionable parents are urged to exercise their own judgment as to whether their children are sent to school or not.
If it seems inadvisable to have school sessions the following pro- cedure for no-school signals will be observed. Radio stations WHDH, WBZ, and WESX will be notified not later than 7:00 a.m. so that notification may be broadcast by them between 7:15 and 7:30 a.m. At 7 :00 a.m. the no-school signal 22-22 will be sounded on the local fire alarm.
