Foster children

I'm wondering if I should count the foster children in our primary's quarterly report? They attend regularly so we should receive budget for them, right?

If you have membership records for the foster children, then you certainly should count their attendance for the quarterly report. But if you don't have membership records for them, you don't count them. The instructions are quite clear that you are counting only those children for whom you have membership records.

Thanks. Except those over 9 and unbaptized, correct?

Right. Unbaptized members 9 and older are not included in the total number in Primary on the quarterly report, so you don't ever count them in attendance.
