ANNOUNCEMENT, 1924-1925 15
When a pupil who has been absent or tardy enters his department he shall report to his teacher before taking his seat.
High School students who have been absent from a recitation must present (a) an excuse card, (b) an unexcused absense card or (c) a temporary permit in order to secure re-admission to class. The principals office hours for granting excuses are from 8:30 to 9:30 a. m. and 12:45 to 1:00 p. m. Excuse cards may be obtained in exchange for written valid excuses from parent or guardian.
Any pupil leaving school during the session, without being excused by a teacher, shall stand suspended until reinstated by the principal and the parent has been notified.
INVITATION
Parents are cordially invited to attend the school and familiarize themselves with the work. Constructive criticism will always be gladly received by the teachers and the Board of Education. The teachers are always ready to confer with parents and are often a personal interview is of great service to both teacher and pupil. The best results can be obtained only when parents and teachers work in perfect harmony. This can be secured only by the parents' co-operation and interest in the work their children are doing. Parents are urged to consider the matter of calling on the teachers instead of waiting for the teachers to call on them--they have but one teacher to confer with while the teacher has many parents.
ENTRACE
We welcome to the advantages of our school any ambitious boy or girl who wishes to do something and not simply spend his or her time. This kind of work counts for the school and still more for the pupil. Careless and shiftless work cannot be accepted and any who come with any other intention than thorough, honest and efficient work will soon find themselves in a small and unpopular class.
PROMOTION
Grade pupils whose class work or tests have averaged 90 per cent or more for the term may, upon written satisfactory requiest from the parent, be excused from final examination in that subject. This does

not apply to Regents Finals. Upon the satisfactory completion of each grade, pupils will be given "Promotion Certificates" entitling them to enter the next higher grade.
Pupils whose average class standing shall be less than 75 per cent in the grades, or 70 per cent in any High School subject, shall not be allowed to enter a Regents examination in that subject except they attain at least this percentage in a special examination given by the principal.
ADMISSION TO CLASSES
While pupils may enter at any time, they are urged to enter at the beginning of the year, or when the classes which they wish to join are organized. Many times pupils are put back in their school work by delaying to enter until the middle of the term. The only class for those beginning the first grade during the year is formed at the opening of the fall term. It is hoped that parents will bear this in mind and plan to have the little ones enter at that time. No provision is made for instruction of students under 5 years of age.
Pupils are promoted from grade to grade as their rating in grade examinations permit and upon approval of the principal.
Pupils doing High School work but who have not yet earned 19 counts will be rated as Freshmen; those who have earned 19 counts but not 36 will be rated as Sophomores; and those who have earned 36 counts but not 54 will be rated as Juniors.
School officials, under the supervision of the experts at the Education Department, have spent a great deal of time and pains in working out a Course of Study and in determining what subjects should be studied by various students during the different years of their High School work. The result of these findings is embodied in our Course of Study and cannot be ignored. Students must take the subjects assigned to the year's work they are doing.
ADMISSION TO EXAMINATIONS
Admission to Regents examinations held in January and June in academic schools will be in accordance with Regents Rules as follows: Sec. 331. No pupil in any school of the University of the State of New York shall be admitted to examinatons in any oher school than the one he attends, except by consent of the University on written request of the principals of both schools. Exclusion from Regents shall not be used as a means of discipline.
