Student Count Day is Tomorrow - September 24th!
We’d like to remind you that Student Count Day is coming up on Wednesday, September 24, 2025. This day is incredibly important for all public schools in Colorado, including Westgate, as it directly impacts the funding we receive from the state.
Why is attendance important?
Your child’s presence on Count Day helps ensure we receive the appropriate funding to support their education. The state uses this data to determine how resources are allocated for the school year. Please avoid scheduling appointments on this day and ensure your student is present unless they are ill.
What is Student Count Day?
Each year, schools across Colorado report the number of students enrolled and attending classes on a designated day. While this typically occurs in October, Westgate’s Count Day is scheduled earlier—September 24th—due to our fall break.
Attendance will be taken promptly at 8:00 AM, and we’ll continue collecting data throughout the day to submit to the Colorado Department of Education.
Thank you for your support in making sure every student is counted!
