' The stlffer requirements were approved by the Box Elder Board of Education last week. They followed a by Morgan Hawkes, district director of special act. recom-mendatlo- n ivlties, who recently reported that although some younger stu- dents meet academic requirements, they are not emotion, ally mature enough to be In school. THE NEW POLICY applies to students who are not six years old by Oct. 31, the pre. sent deadline, but who do reach six prior to Dec. 31. These students can be granted admls. slon to first grade by meeting the following requirements; That the parent or guar, dlan make application for entrance between April 1 and May 15 of the year in which admls. slon Is desired. That the parent or guar, dlan make an appointment with the district psychologist for an evaluation of the child prior to May 25, the cost to be borne (Dr. Heber by the parents. Sharp, Utah State university, Is presently acting as school psychologist for the district) THAT THE EVALUATION shows the child to have a men. tal age of at least six years and six months and that the child has the necessary social and emotional development to Insure satisfactory adjustment to school.
