Records Needed
. To Help School
Help Children
(From the Office of the
Superintendent)
Parents are asked to cooper
ate with the school office in fill
ing out the forms which are be
ing sent home with the childrer
now. The questionnaire the chil
dren bring has been receivinj
some unfavorable reaction, bu
these reports are especially val
uable to the children themselves
The requested information wil
become a part of the child’s
permanent record. Much of this
information at the. present timt
is not available to the school. I'
is badly needed in making ou1
transcripts of credits, recom
mendations for work and ir
answering other requests for in
formation about the child. The
school office now can often sup
ply nothing more than the bare
grade record of the child.
*- Parents are asked to cooper
ate in every possible way in the
compiling of this information sc
that the child's permanent rec
ord at school can be completed.
Permanent records are very
important for a number of rea
sons. Many children have had
to depend on these permanent
school records as substitute
birth certificates when other
records are lost or destroyed.
School records are important
that way.
Records are important to
teachers in that they trace
growth and development of the
child. They help the teacher to
understand something of the
background of the child and
thus help her to assist the child
-*.in readjusting.
Records help the teacher to
make the most of her time in
child guidance and training.
Complete and accurate records
frequently are the deciding fac
tor in the employment of a stu
dent.
