PRESS RELEASE


Annual School Census

The Honeoye Falls-Lima School District will conduct an annual census to update information on pre-school and school-age children.   Families with children in grades K-12 at HF-L, families with children enrolled in private schools, and residents with no children in the District will receive the census form through the mail.  Census forms will be mailed on May 1.  Residents are asked to reply as soon as possible, and according to the instructions on the form.

"The census is completed each year because the District needs to know how many children live within its boundaries as it plans and organizes educational programs and facilities for the future," said Renee Williams, Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction. 

Enrollment projections for HF-L are computed by the Monroe #1 BOCES by using several factors: district census data, current school enrollment data and traditional enrollment pattern data, including the numbers of students moving into and out of the District.

If residents have questions regarding the school census or do not receive a census form, they should call the District Census Office at 624-7135.
