Greetings,
Reference to your letter No. 42867 on 18/12/1958.
1- Studies in this school begin in the last half of October of
each year instead of mid-September, due to religious holidays. In view of the
school administration's keenness to complete the appropriate part of the curricula before conducting the mid-year
exams, please approve the start of the mid-year exam in this school on
Sunday, 1/2/1959, and its conclusion on Monday, 9/2/1959,
provided that Tuesday, 10/2/1959, be a holiday for the students.
2- In view of our necessity to suspend studies in this school during the period starting on
22/4/1959 and ending on 2/5/1959 on the occasion of the coincidence of Passover during
this period. This is in addition to our necessity to suspend studies on other religious
holidays. Therefore, please be informed that we will consider this period as the mid-year holiday
in our school, following the pattern of previous years.
Please accept our highest respect.
