WEDNESDAY, JUNE 5, 1985

FOR A.M. SCHOOLS, THE REGISTRATION HOURS WILL BE FROM 9 AM TO NOON, AND FOR P.M. SCHOOLS, IT WILL BE FROM 2 PM TO 5 PM. FOR WHOLE-DAY SCHOOLS, THE REGISTRATION HOURS WILL BE FROM 9 AM TO NOON AND FROM 2 PM TO 4 PM.

PARENTS WHO FOR PERSONAL REASONS CANNOT REGISTER THE IR CHILDREN WITH THE SCHOOLS TO WHICH THEY HAVE BEEN ALLOCATED MUST CONTACT THE SCHOOLS DIRECT OR THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT'S PRIMARY ONE ADMISSION UNIT BEFORE HAND FOR ALTERNATIVE ARRANGEMENTS.

THE SPOKESMAN SAID THAT PARENTS WHO FAILED TO DO SO WOULD BE DEEMED TO HAVE GIVEN UP THE PLACES ALLOCATED.

THE ALLOCATION SLIP SHOULD BE SURRENDERED TO THE SCHOOL DURING REGISTRATION AND PARENTS MUST NOTE THAT ALL PLACES ALLOCATED ARE FINAL AND NO RE-ALLOCATION IS POSSIBLE.

HOWEVER, IF PARENTS HAVE DIFFICULTIES SUCH AS HAVING MOVED TO ANOTHER DISTRICT AND THE ALLOCATED SCHOOL IS TOO FAR AWAY FROM THE IR NEW HOME, THEY CAN GO TO THE PRIMARY ONE ADMISSION UNIT AT 269 QUEEN'S ROAD EAST, SECOND FLOOR, WAN CHAI, TO SEEK ASSISTANCE.

+THEY SHOULD BRING ALONG SUPPORTING DOCUMENTARY PROOF INCLUDING RENT RECEIPTS, RATES DEMAND NOTES, WATER BILLS OR ELECTRICITY BILLS BEARING THE NAME OF THE CHILD'S PARENT OR GUARDIAN,+ THE SPOKESMAN SAID.

+ IF THE IR REQUESTS ARE JUSTIFIED, THE PRIMARY ONE ADMISSION UNIT WILL TRY TO FIND PLACES FOR THEIR CHILDREN AT A SCHOOL NEARER TO THEIR NEW HOME, HE SAID.

PARENTS WHO FIND IT NECESSARY TO CHANGE SCHOOL AFTER REGISTRATION ARE ADVISED TO GET ASSURANCE OF ACCEPTANCE FROM ANOTHER SCHOOL BEFORE THEY TOOK BACK THE ALLOCATION SLIP FROM THE ORIGINAL SCHOOL AS RETRIEVAL OF THE SLIP WOULD MEAN THE CANCELLATION OF THE PLACE.

PARENTS WHO HAVE SECURED A DISCRETIONARY PLACE AND HAVE ALREADY REGISTERED WITH A SCHOOL EARLIER LAST YEAR NEED NOT REPEAT REGISTRATION FORMALITIES.

ANY PARENT WISHING TO MAKE FURTHER ENQUIRIES MAY CONTACT THE UNIT AT 5-724383 DURING OFFICE HOURS ON OR AFTER SATURDAY (JUNE 8).
