Cincinnatus Central School Announces Bausch and Lomb Award Winner: Christian Gallow

Cincinnatus Central School is pleased to announce that Christian Gallow is the 2018 winner of the prestigious Bausch and Lomb Award. Christian is the son of David and Tiffany Gallow of Cincinnatus. The Bausch and Lomb Award is presented each year to a junior student who has maintained the highest scholastic standing in science at his or her high school. Bausch and Lomb will award Christian a certificate of accomplishment in addition to a handsome bronze medal to commemorate his fine achievement. Christian is also eligible to compete for a scholarship at the University of Rochester. Christian has been active in all facets of the school throughout his high school years. He is part of the soccer team, track team, Envirothon team, National Honor Society, and student senate. Christian is considering a career in Engineering, which the Cincinnatus science department is thrilled about. Next year he plans to take Physics as a first step toward his engineering goal. The faculty, staff and administration of Cincinnatus Central School wish to congratulate Christian for this fine achievement and wish him much success as he continues his education.

On Tuesday, April 10th, 2018, at 11:00am, Cincinnatus seniors attended the Cortland County Naturalization Ceremony. At this ceremony 9 new applicants pledged their oath of allegiance to the United States of America and became naturalized citizens. This was a very formal event where our students were asked to dress in interview attire, mind their manners, and even leave their cellphones on the bus! Our students didn’t disappoint, as they continue to exceed our expectations when out in the public. We have such kind, polite students at our school. I

hope that their actions paved the way for future Cincy students to get this very unique invite from the Cortland County clerk. The students were able to be in the presence of the Hon. Phillip Rumsey of the NYS Supreme Court, the Hon. Julie Campbell and Hon. David Alexander of Cortland County, Cortland City Judges, Hon. Lawrence Knickerbocker and Hon. Elizabeth Burns, District Attorney Patrick Perfetti, along with several other dignitaries and even a member of the Department of Immigration. What a terrific way to study civics!!! We are very proud!Submitted by: Mr. K. and Ms. Eaton

Comparing College Award LettersIt’s very exciting when an acceptance letter arrives from a college. An acceptance letter will often include a financial aid award letter. The award letter contains important information about the financial aid package you are offered by the college. Many students apply to more than one college so, when the financial aid award letters begin arriving, it is essential to review each award carefully and compare it to the others before you make your final decision. Award letters typically include the college cost of attendance (COA), your family’s expected family contribution (EFC) and the types of financial aid offered to you - usually a combination of scholarships, grants, and loans. Since there is no standard award letter, and each college uses its own format and terminology, it may be challenging different letters.

Here are some important considerations to keep in mind as you review each award: Cost of Attendance: The COA should include current costs for tuition, fees, room and board, in addition to projected costs for books, transportation and personal expenses. Does your award letter itemize these expenses and realistically estimate them? Expected Family Contribution: The school’s EFC should be included on your award letter. This may be different than the EFC noted on the Student Aid Report (SAR) you received after filing the FAFSA. The figure is determined by whomever is awarding the aid—usually the federal government or individual colleges and universities. Scholarships and grants are funds that do not have to be paid back. Does your award letter clearly list scholarships and grants? If so, and if not already stated, you should know whether the money will be awarded all four years or for a limited time. Must you maintain a certain grade point average to keep the scholarship? If you decide to switch majors, will you be able to keep the award? Federal Work-Study: Most colleges have jobs on campus for students to work and earn money, usually at minimum wage. How many hours would you be expected to work to earn the work-study money listed on your awards? If you accept work-study, will you be guaranteed a job? You must ask immediately, since Federal Work-Study funds are limited. Loans are funds that have to be paid back. If loans are included in your financial aid package, what specific loans are being offered? What are the interest rates? Were you offered more than one federal loan? You may be offered a subsidized Stafford loan, a parent PLUS loan, an unsubsidized Stafford loan, a Perkins loan, or some combination of federal loans. It is important to know the difference. Is there unmet need? Does the award letter clearly state the school is unable to award your full need? If it is offering you full need, is most of the money in the form of scholarships and grants or loans and work-study? How much of the money must be repaid? After totaling the financial aid, and the amount, if any, your family will contribute, how much is left to pay? How will you fill the gap? You may have some money in savings to use, but if not, will you turn to an alternative (private) loan? And, most importantly, will you be able to afford the additional debt you will incur by taking a private loan, usually at higher interest?

SENIOR REMINDER:

Seniors who have taken dual credit courses such as Computer Applications or College Writing/Lit may have college credit through TC3. At the end of the school year STUDENTS must contact TC3 to have their transcript sent to the college they will be attending in the fall. The guidance office and parents cannot do this; it has to be requested by the student. You can access this information online at www.tc3.edu/collegenow.

From the High School Guidance Office

Alternative education loans, also known as private education loans, help bridge the gap between the actual cost of your education and the amount the government lets you borrow. Alternative loans are offered by private lenders. There are no federal forms to complete. Eligibility often depends on your credit score. Rates, fees and terms vary, so compare alternative loans carefully and read the fine print. Borrowing an alternative loan is a serious financial commitment. Alternative loans have higher interest rates and most charge fees making them more expensive than federal loan options. Be sure to exhaust all federal loan eligibility before taking an alternative loan. If an alternative loan is needed, student borrowers will secure better terms and pricing by adding a credit worthy co-signer to their application. Always check the interest rate, fees, interest rate capitalization policy, repayment period, prepayment penalties and other terms and conditions before you sign a promissory note. What will happen to your award if you receive an outside grant or scholarship or take a private loan? Will the school reduce your institutional grant or scholarship, or will it reduce the loan or job hours? Now is a good time to check each school’s policy on this issue, especially if you have applied for outside, non-institutional scholarships. You can appeal your award if you feel your needs are not being met, if your family’s financial situation has changed since you applied, or if you have received a better offer from a competitive school. Ask for a reconsideration of your award, based on these new circumstances. Talk to your family realistically about your “dream” college and those you can actually afford. The key is being open to all the possibilities each college or university can offer at a price you can pay.

On April 12th, six students were inducted into the Cincinnatus Chapter of the National Honor Society. One of our high school Social Studies teachers, Mr. Kaltenbach, was also inducted as an honorary member. Students from grades 9-12, along with parents and other families members, attended the ceremony. During the formal ceremony the current NHS members described the criteria that is necessary to uphold in order to be chosen: Scholarship, Service, Leadership, and Character. Mrs. Amanda Silva, an honorary NHS member, spoke to the student body letting them know they all have the qualities it takes to be a member. " All of you have honor, you can achieve scholarship, you perform acts of service, you know what it takes to be a leader, and you have been raised and shown what good character is. Don’t underestimate your abilities, yourself, or your future journey. Put yourself out there because you have nothing to lose. To quote the French merchant Jacques Coeur, À vaillant coeur rien d’impossible. -Jacques Cœur So don't be afraid to go for it." The new inductees were introduced and escorted to the stage, including new honorary member Mr. Jeff Kaltenbach. Mr. Phetteplace said a few words of congratulations and the led them in the NHS pledge. After the ceremony, par-ents, family members, and all of the NHS members enjoyed refreshments to celebrate.

Kindergarten Screening & Registration For September 2018

Cincinnatus Central School Residents

NOTICE to PARENTS of KINDERGARTEN AGE CHILDREN If you intend to send your kindergarten age child to

Cincinnatus Central School in the Fall of 2018

PLEASE CALL 863-3200 ext. 4 to schedule a registration/screening

appointment by May 18, 2018.

Registration/Screening Dates for students Not currently enrolled: May 24, 2018

Only children born on or before December 1, 2013 are eligible.

Children who turn 6 before December 1, 2018 must attend.

No Child Hungry Program The No Child Hungry Program is designed to feed our school children who qualify and who are at risk ofhaving little or no food on the weekends. As a result of little or no food on the weekend, the school notices low test scores, poor reading skills, poor behavior and increased illness. Other districts who have implemented a similar program have attributed better test scores, improved reading skills, positive behavior, improved health and increased attendance as a result of participation in this program.

Most people don’t realize that many of Cincinnatus School children qualify for programs based on their economic status. We believe one way to help these children rise out of poverty is to ensure they have the proper nutrition they need during the school year so they can have every chance to learn and succeed.

The goal of the No Child Hungry program is to provide UPK-3rd grade students with nutritious meals to take home over the weekend. The hope is that this will better prepare them for Monday as well as theremainder of the week for overall success in school.

Cincinnatus School will work in collaboration with Cortland Chenango Rural Services, who recently received a grant from The Central New York Community Foundation, to help support this program. A letter will be sent home to parents to sign up for this program. If you feel this program would be a help to your family, each UPK-3rd grade child would receive a bag of non-perishable food every Friday, through their teacher, for the weekend. Food is dispensed in a discreet and caring manner and will run for the entire school year. There is no cost to the families for this program. Please find the application on the following page.

Page 13

Free Weekend Food For Your Child Available through the No Child Hungry Program No Child Hungry Program through Rural Services is teaming up with the staff and teachers of Cincinnatus Central School to offer a supply of nutritious meals and snacks for children over their weekends, free of charge. Bags are distributed by their teacher on the last school day before the weekend. Any child, enrolled in Cincinnatus School, is able to receive these weekly bags of food. If you believe your UPK-3rd grade child could benefit from this program, we encourage you to sign them up by filling the form out below and returning it to the elementary school office. Only one form is needed for all the UPK-3rd grade children in your family, but include information for each child in the form below. This information is kept confidential between the No Child Hungry Program and Cincinnatus School. Once your UPK-3rd grade child is signed up, they will receive bags of food each week until they leave the school or until you no longer wish to participate.

We encourage you to take advantage of this program for your family and your children. …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………. No Child Hungry Consent Form

Cincinnatus Central School District: A community striving to meet all students’ needs, awaken their minds and touch their hearts.

Cincinnatus Central School DistrictBoard of Education

Peter BushJeffrey Delepine Richard DodgeNathan Metzler Charles Winters

The Cincinnatus Central School District works to convey information to students, parents, businesses and community members in a variety of ways. One major source of information is the school district website which can be found on the Internet at www.cc.cnyric.org.

Another method of communication within the district is this publication, The Lion's Roar, which is produced by students enrolled in the high school course, Computer Publications. The newsletter is published entirely by students and the printing completed by OCM BOCES. In addition to the website and newsletter, there are also a variety of classroom newsletters, grade reports and parent memos sent home via students and/or mail.

The purpose of these communication tools is to share information about our district, to showcase student, faculty, and staff endeavors, as well as provide resources for students, parents, community members and faculty. We welcome input from all of the school community in making this communicationmoreefficientandmorevaluable. Inutilizingnewtechnologies the district may want to post children's work or pictures on our website and/or in district publications. This could include photos, writings, artwork, or videos recorded for our in-house TV station. Parents or guardians who do NOT wish to have their child’s name and/or photograph on the district web site, in student video productions, in the newsletter or other publications, must notify the district in writing of their wishes. This must be done each school year. Please send any related correspondence to:
