MARK YOUR CALENDARS!
October Count Day is COMING! Every school year we are required by the Colorado Department of Education to report our enrollment numbers. This is done by attendance verification. The attendance verification window is from September 26 through October 11, with October 3 being the official Count Day.
We ask that students be in attendance during this attendance window, and we request that all on campus students be present for each assigned class and all online students are active in their online class during the class time. Due to the importance of Count Day on 10/3, please do NOT have appointments or early pickup be conducted on that date which would remove the student from the classroom.
Bottom line, October Count provides CECDC the funding for your student to receive the $4200 voucher to pursue college goals, hire and retain quality instructors, and deliver top-notch programming! October Count is crucial to the continued success of CECDC to provide you and your family this wonderful opportunity.
We kindly request your support during Count Day. If you have questions regarding this event, please contact the school for additional information.
