AGE OF ADMISSION
No child will be admitted to the first grade at the opening of school in September who was not five years of age on or before the first day of April preceding his entrance.
Pupils are admitted to this grade only during the first two weeks of school in September unless they have attended in some other town.
VACCINATION
Children who have not been vaccinated will not be admitted to school in September unless they present a certificate from a regular practicing phy- sician stating that they are not fit subjects for vaccination. Parents are re- quested to attend to this matter during the Summer vacation as certificates of vaccination or exemption must be presented at the opening of school to entitle children to admission.
