 ADMISSIONS POLIC Y

The University School is operated as a part of the College of Education.
Therefore, its primary purpose is to afford opportunity for teachers in training
to observe and participate in good school practices. Only one section of 30
pupils in each class is adequate to accomplish the purpose of the school. Since
there are many more than 30 applicants for each class. a responsibility for
choosing among the applications devolves upon the director and the faculty. An
admissions committee of three faculty members is elected each year (one from
the elementary grades, one from the junior high grades and one from high
school) to administer the advisor' s policies. The Director serves as onwofficio
chairman. Even though the admissions committee would be pleased to take all
children who wish to come, and even though the task of making selections is dif»
ficult, the committee is forced each. year to make selections which meet the ap»
proval of the faculty.

In order to insure that each application has fair and impartial considera—
tion, and in order to simplify the process of selec tion, the following policies
have been developed. They have been developed after a long and careful study
of the problems involved in admitting students to the University School. They
have the approval of the Dean and the entire faculty and will be rigidly adhered
to until such time that an official revision is deemed necessary.

There will be maintained in the Director' 5 office a file of all applications
for entrance to the school. These applications may be made in the school office
in person or by telephoning ZmZZOO, ext. 2115.

1. Children must be five years old on or before October 15 to enter
Kindergarten.

2. Children must be six years old by October 15 to enter first grade
and seven years old by October 15 to enter second grade. (Excep—
tions to this rule may be made in cases where children of families
moving to LexingtOn area have made satisfactory progress while
enrolled in other schools. In such cases the state law with respect
to age of entrance may apply. )

3. No more than 30 children will be admitted to the Kindergarten each
year.

a. The first 15 boys from the top of the list of applications will be
taken. Similarly the first 15 girls from the top of the list of
applications will be taken.

b. The list of applications will be arranged according to the date
upon which the applications were received. The first applica—
tion received for any particular class will be first on the list
with the following exceptions:

Children of the faculty in the College of Education will
be given preference over all other applications.

Children who have brothers or sisters enrolled in the Uni-u
versity School will be given a priority over all applications
except children of the faculty in the College of Education.

 

 

 10.,

11.

IL

13.

Children having attended the, University Nursery School
and recommended by the school authorities will be given
priority Over all. applications other than the two categories
named above“

First grade will be composed of those students premoted to it from
Kindergarten of the previous year plus any replacements which may
have been made to bring the class up to 300

The second gradey and likewise all other grades taught at University
School, will take those students passing to it from the previou: grade,

In cases where children are retained, classes will be allowed to ex.
ceed the limit of 30 if all children enrolled in the previous grade have
been promoted, For example, if a child is retained in fourth. grade,
and all members of the third grade are promoted” and all enroll for
fourth grade the next yeary the class may therefore have 31 members.
If one shOuld withdraw, the child retained will fill the vacancy. In
this case no one would be taken from the waiting lie to

In rare instances there may be children who should be promoted bee-
yOnd the class in which they are enrolled, In such cases, no child
will be dropped to create a vacancy for the one promotedo This may
cause an enrollment of more than. 30 in, a class

When vacancies occur in any class, applicants next on the list will
be notified in an effort to bring the class up to 30 again,

An equal number of boys and girls will be maintained in each class if
possible, Therefore? when a boy drops out the next boy on the list
will be notified” When a girl drops out the next girl on the list will
be notified,

In no case will more than 17 boys or 17 girls be admitted to any one
class,

Whenever an applicant has been notified of a vacancy and the applicant
refuses to accept that vacancy, then such applicant shall be stricken
from the list” However, upon request the applicant' 3 name may be
placed at the bottom of the list,

Applications are not automatically filed for any child, Even though
brothers and sisters are enrolled, and even though it is well known
that the younger child intends to enroll in University School, the
parent must file application before the name is placed on the list.

When applicants are notified of vacancy acceptance must be reason»
ably prompt“ Otherwism the applicant will be dropped from the
list and the next, one on the list notified"

A transfer student must present evidence to show that he has made
satisfactory progress in the other school before he will be accepted
in the University SchooL The University School faculty retains the
right to refuse admission to any student whenever in their judgment
the best interests of the school will be served by so doing.

 

 14. Students who withdraw to attend another school without the recom-
mendation of the University School faculty will be re wadmitted only
at the discretion of the faculty.

15. The tuition charge for grades kindergarten through sixth, inclusive,
is $30. 00 per semester, and $40. 00 for all grades above sixth.
Parents will be billed through the Comptrollerv 3 office and payment
will be made through that office.

The withdrawal of students to go to other schools creates a problem in
maintaining a balance between bays and girls in the upper grades. The faculty,
therefore, earnestly requests that applications for admission to the University
School not be filed if the parent expects to transfer the student later.

These policies may not be construed to work a hardship or injustice on
students now enrolled in University School.

Tutoring

During the school year there are occasions when students must be

away from school for extended periods. This time may vary from one week

to several weeks. Because of the problems presented when this occurs, the
Faculty has found it necessary to take specific action so that every student may
understand the situation. The Faculty, by unanimous vote, has decided that
when students need to make up work they may by arrangement with the regular
teacher and with the approval of the Director of the School have a tutor outside
of the school to assist them to make up the work missed. The amount of the
work to be done is to be determined by the teacher in the University School.

In the past, SOme students have requested that they be permitted to take
courses with tutors and receive full credit for this work. The Faculty unan-
imOusly decided that no credit would be accepted and recognized where the work
was done under a tutor if the courses were available in the University School
curriculum. If a student wanted to take a course not offered by the University
School, an application in writing would be presented to the Director of the Uni-
versity School and this in turn w0uld be submitted to the Faculty and the Faculty
would decide whether the request shOuld be granted.

 Student Clubs and Organizations

University School sponsors a number of worth-awhile student activities
in which the pupils are encouraged to participate. It is the hope of the faculty
and administration that each one may find some interesting and profitable activ-
ity to engage his leisure time.

The rules governing the membership and operation of clubs and organi-
zations are explained in the Student Handbook which will be given to every student
early in the year, A list of these clubs and organizations and the groups eligible
to participate follows. Music and sports are not listed since the type of activity
in each is determined by the demand and number of those wishing to participate.
