October Count
Student Count Days
September 25-October 9 is the window for BVSD student count days. During this time the district tracks our population numbers. It is important that these numbers are accurate as they affect funding and staffing for next year. If possible, please avoid making doctors appointments or planning family trips during this important time. Official count day is October 2nd, so please make every effort to have your student attend school all day on 10/2
