Each year, Colorado public schools participate in the October Student Count as required by the Colorado Department of Education. The purpose of this count is to determine the official number of students enrolled in each school. This year, the count will occur on Tuesday, October 1st. Our school receives state funding based on the number of students present on October 1st. State funding covers teacher salaries, student resources, building costs, and funding for STEM, music, athletics, and other programs. One student in attendance on October 1st translates to more than $10,000 in state funding. Please be sure your student attends school on Tuesday, October 1st, to ensure we receive our full amount of state funding!
