Student Count Starts Today! 9/26-10/10

Posted September 26, 2022

Most Colorado families with students enrolled in a public school understand the importance of the October Count period each year, but we would like to provide a brief overview.  October Count is a 11-day period when schools are required to report student attendance in order to ensure that the school is adequately funded for the number of students being served.  Per pupil funding through October Count determines the amount of money that can be spent on programs, curriculum, facilities, and most importantly, the amazing team who is here to support your student each and every day.  

In order for a school to claim a student for October Count, we must be able to demonstrate:

• Residency in Colorado – The school requires all of our students to complete a residency form and submit a utility bill to the school on an annual basis. Our team has been reaching out to collect these. If you are receiving messages from our team, it means that we do not yet have adequate proof of residency for your family. Please submit it ASAP! If we do not receive the completed form by October 3, we will not receive State funding for your student.
• Attendance – This is the most important part of October Count!  Students MUST demonstrate active participation in the instructional program by submitting the assignments each and every day during this period of time (September 26 – October 10).  It is extremely important that ALL students are completing their assignments EVERY day!

Please understand that we are committed to supporting you and your child this year.   Over the next two weeks, members of our team will be contacting you and your student to ensure your student is attending school!  

We appreciate your support with this as it is critical that our school is funded to support all of our students this year!!
