his office each day from 9 a. m.
till 5 p. m. the week before school
opens. Pupils who have never
been to school in Rockingham be
fore should see him for cards of
admission and assignment to
grades Pupils with conditions
to make up before promotion to
a higher grade should arrange
for this.
The school hours observed
during the past year, so far as
can be determined, did not prove
generally satisfactory. It has
been decided to make this change:
School will open promptly at 9
o'clock, with a recess from 10:45
to 11. At 12:30 a 45-minute re
cess will be given and children
and teachers allowed to go home
to lunch, provided this can be
done without tardiness. A first
bell will ring at 1 o'clock; a second
bell at 1:15 at which time school
will begin promptly for the after
noon session, school will close
at 2:45.
Parents should see to it that
their children are in good physi
cal condition and ready for school.
It may be that a visit to the
family physician or the dentist
will save tune and prevents
trouble later on.
Parents should take notice and
govern themselves accordingly,
that the Compulsory Attendance
Law has been changed so that
now all children 7 to 14 years of
age are required to attend school
regularly and continuously for
the school term. Teachers have
no authority under the law to
excuse any child's absence ex
cept for providential cause such
as sickness.
