Cheetah Chat
Cherrelyn Elementary School
September 28, 2018
The next 8 school days, 10/1-10/10, is a critical window of time for Cherrelyn. The student attendance average for this period determines our official total student enrollment figure for the school year, and therefore determines the per pupil funding Cherrelyn receives for the school year. It is obviously therefore critical not only that we accurately record attendance for this period, but also that all students are present and in attendance to the extent possible. I ask that you support us by minimizing the scheduling of any activities or engagements that may keep your student out of school during this time.
Colorado currently ranks 48th in the nation for per pupil funding. Every dollar is critical to ensure that we maintain our level of excellence in academics for our students and school community. I sincerely appreciate your support and attention to the annual October enrollment period.
I hope everyone enjoys the weekend. We can't wait to see you again on Monday!
Thank you,
Mrs. Orsund
OCTOBER COUNT
The official count day is October 3rd. Attendance is always important for our students and even more so during October count as this affects the funding for our district which benefits all of our students.
On October 3rd, every student in attendance and on time will receive a Cheetah Champ raffle ticket. We will have an extra raffle on this day! The students love our Friday raffles so they will be very excited to have an extra day for raffles this week.
Thank you for your support during October count!
