On The Rise Podcast – Dr. Vitti sat down with us to discuss his vision for the school year, we discussed academic success and the importance of daily attendance. We also discussed how the district worked to support teachers and the commitment needed by staff, teachers, families and students to make a lasting positive impact. Please listen here.
Fall Count Day October 5, 2022 -- Count Day is significant because the district’s budget is based upon per-pupil funding. The first Wednesday in October marks the beginning of the State’s official count window to determine 90 percent of the school year state per-pupil allocation.
“Our priority is to have students in class on time every day. This week is critical, an accurate count ensures the district receives funding for every student who is enrolled and in attendance,” said Superintendent Nikolai P. Vitti.
Please make sure your student is in school on Wednesday, October 5, 2022. If your child is absent, please make sure they provide a note to excuse the absence.
