Just a random spelling malfunction.

Thanks, G. The sign subsequently was corrected. The photo originally appeared on Facebook, where some viewers of it were troubled, suggesting that to post the image on line was somehow unfair to the school.

I respectfully disagree. Plainly, schools are about education, and education is about knowing how to spell. Standards should be higher at a school than other places. Children are being exhorted to do better. "Rigstration" is not a good place from which to exhort.

  1. Maybe they just ran out of "s"'s for Thursday?

  2. And the 11th is THE day of school, as though there'd be only one.

    Embarrassing any way you cut it.

  3. Normally, I would laugh or least chuckle at something like this. No such feeling this time.

    Maybe the dictionary someone used was faulty. You know, bought at one those big box stores that our school system likes to recommend. Another big "F" for our school administrators.
