Hello Middle School and High School BTVS Families,
Count Day is next week on Wednesday the 10th of February.Β
What is Count Day?
Count Day is when all public schools in the state of Michigan tally the number of students attending their schools. Count information is critical to districts, because each student translates into state funding. Count Days and school funding in Michigan are mandated through the State School Aid Act.Β

Students are counted in ONE of the following ways:
Completing gradable work ON February 10th
