All new students, either kindergarten or transfers, should bring a birth certificate and a complete health appraisal from a doctor in order to register for classes. Returning students to the Elementary School need not worry about registering in that they will lie processed upon arrival at school on Thursday, August 27. As far as the total numlier of students in the Dugway schools this year, Stewart Rupp, Elementary School Principal, feels that there may be even fewer students here than we had last year. Its rather difficult to tell with all of the empty houses on post and the constant turnover of Dugway personnel. Mr. Rupp added that the Elementary School is expecting to enroll approximately 75 new kindergarten students who will attend class on a half day schedule. THE ONLY major change in classes and scheduling will occur at the high school. This year all classes will meet on a daily basis for fifty minutes instead of the alternating day-9- 0 minute class period schedule that was oliserved last year. Although the school house doors do not officially open for the students until August 27, the teachers will begin two days early as they attend a Teacher Institute in Tooele on August 25 and 26.
