October Count Day is October 1st!

Each year all school districts in Colorado participate in the Student October Count process in order to collect data that supports per pupil funding.  While the process begins in September and continues through mid-November, there is a one day membership count when all schools report students who are actively enrolled and attending classes at their school.  Our October count day is Tuesday, October 1st.  In addition to taking data from the day, we also report data from both the day before count day and the day after.  Please support this by ensuring your student(s) is present on the days of Monday, September 30th, Tuesday, October 1st and Wednesday, October 2nd.
