Important Attendance Update for October

With the school year off and running, we are proud of our students for showing up each and every day.

We are fast-approaching an important attendance milestone that occurs every year: the Colorado Department of Education’s official “October Count.” October Count measures how many students are enrolled and attending in districts across the state; the official count date is Wednesday, October 1.
