M H S Students
Get Schedules
August 26-27
On Monday and Tuesday, Aug-
ust 26 and 27 McKinney High
School students will pick up their
schedules and get locker assign-
ments.
Students will be permitted to
choose lockers and locker mates.
It would expedite matters if the
students desiring to locker
together would pick up schedules
together. Normally two students
will share a locker, but because of
crowded conditions at present,
three students may share a locker
if they desire to do so.
Here is the pick up schedule:
Seniors—Monday morning —
8:30—11:30.
Juniors — Monday afternoon—
1:00—3:30.
Sophomores — Tuesday Morn-
ing— 8:30—11:30.
Freshmen — Tuesday afternoon
—1:00—3:30?
Students that cannot come at
these times can pick up schedules
Wednesday afternoon, August 28,
1:00 to 3:30.
Students may have a parent or
friend pick up schedules for them,
but those persons should be pre-
pared to select a locker and lock-
er mate also.
