Contrary to common belief, State Aid is money raised by the State from taxes on the sale of stocks and bonds, income taxes, taxes on corporations, inheritance taxes, insurance tax and other forms of business taxes. None of it if received from Iaxer on real ertafe. The amount of State Aid any school district receives depends upon its total day: atren- fialzce by the pupil: plus the quotas as set up by the law. Every day that a pupil is in school means money in the treasury of our School District and therefore a decrease in the amount of taxes to be raised locally for school purposes. It has been estimated by school authorities that the absence of a local High School student for one day, whether the reason is avoidable Olf 11Ot costs the District approximately 46 cents. The absence of a grade pupil for one day costs the District about 29 cents. lVIuch money could be saved the District, and therefore the taxpayers, if pupils were required to attend every day they are able. I Reports by Students to Parents Every ten weeks, your boy or girl will bring his report for your examination and signa- ture. After noting any irregularity or unusual condition, either marked improvement or deficiency, the parent should feel free to consult the teachers or the principal. Please note, in making up the character ratings each teacher hands in to the oflice her own sincere opinion of each of the students in her classes or study hall. Teachers dq not work together in the rating of pupils. The pupil who is listed on the honor roll of Onondaga Central is one who has reached a certain standard of improyement or whose average is above 90Z. Any pupil therefore has an opportunity to win a place of honor. Visitors Parents and friends of the children in the school are invited and urged to visit the school in order that they may see the school in actual operation. Visitors are asked to call at the ofiice and register. They will be shown to the room or class they wish to visit. Tuition No tuition is charged non-resident academic pupils or pupils in the Junior High School grades. Pupils may be admitted in the elementary grades without tuition if the enrollment makes this advisable. Information may be obtained from the Board or Fducation or principal. -9.
