less one day

IT’S THAT time of year
again.

By STEPHEN BARRINGTON
News Reporter

In a few weeks summer vacation
will be over and North Shore stu-
dents will be once more making
their yearly trek back to school.

North Shore schools this year
open Sept. 2, the day after the
Labour Day holiday. Last year,
schools opened Sept. 3.

Returning students this year will
likely be pleased to discover that
they have one less day of school to
attend than in the previous year.
This yeur’s schoo! days number
194 — last year’s school days
numbered 195.

Students gain an additional day
this year because the Easter
weekend does not coincide with the
annual spring break. Last year,
Easter Monday counted as part of
the spring break, meaning one less
holiday.

Last June, 15,088 students
walked the halls of North Van-
couver’s 32 elementary schools and
eight secondary schools.

North Vancouver School Supt.
Leo Marshall estimates that North
Vancouver enrolment wiil essen-
tially remain at the 15,000 mark.

“But it’s difficult to tell until the
end of September when all the
class lists have been tabulated,”
Marshall said. ‘‘It’s probably pret-
ty stable.”

“Our prediction is that we’ll
pick some students up in elemen-
tary and we'll lose some in sec-

ondary,”’ the superintendent said.

In West Vancouver, 4,941 stu-
dents toiled in classrooms in the
district’s 13 elementary schools
and three secondary schools.

Again, school officials expect
the figure will remain basically the
same this year with some schools
gaining students and some schools
losing students.
