Student Count Day

Dear Families,

Our community diligently supports the efforts of our entire staff and faculty. I am incredibly grateful for that. Today, I share a reminder of one of the easiest ways to support our school and ensure that we receive our Per-Pupil Revenue (PPR) from the state of Colorado-participate in Count Day by ensuring your scholar(s) attendance.

Each year, the Colorado Department of Education identifies October 1st as the official count day for schools across the state. This year, count day falls on Tuesday, October 1st.

Count day ensures that the state appropriately allocates the correct funding for each school based on student enrollment. The Colorado State Legislature approved a PPR dollar amount of $10,695 per enrolled student.

As a charter school, the SVA budget depends mainly on the PPR provided by the state to fund the following:

• Curriculum for our K-12th grade students across all disciplines,
• Learning resources and supplies that enhance learning for our K-12th grade students,
• Salaries for our staff and faculty,
• Technology needs in the classroom, for the students, and the staff and faculty,
• The upkeep and maintenance of our building, from the landscape maintenance and electricity to the cleaning and building maintenance and everything in between,
• Our monthly building mortgage payments, insurance premiums, PERA contributions for the staff, and other vital operational expenses,
• DCSD Purchase Service items required by Douglas County under our charter contract,
• And other vital educational needs.

Thank you in advance for your support of SkyView Academy!

Honored to Serve You All,

Janet Worley
