90-MINUTE DELAY on Tuesday, January 21

Colorado Skies Academy will be on a 90-MINUTE DELAY on Tuesday, January 21, due to forecasted low temperatures in the morning. 

The wind chill is expected to be well below zero at daybreak tomorrow. In that environment, frostbite is a very real risk for any exposed skin. A delay will give temperatures a chance to rise so that we don’t have kids and staff outside during the cold early morning hours. Thankfully, temperatures are forecasted to warm up during the day, with highs in the upper 30s to low 40s.

A 90-MINUTE DELAY means that school is delayed by an hour and a half.

  • CSA will open for drop-off at 9:00 a.m.

As always, in the case of inclement weather, we respect the decision of our parents to keep their children home, if needed - this will be an excused absence. If you choose to do so, please report the absence using the online form or by calling CSA.

Safety is a top priority, and we will keep in close contact with CCSD to monitor the storm and the road conditions. We will provide any updates on our website and social media.

A Message from the Director

Dear CSA Families,

Welcome to Spirit Week for the week of March 9-13! Our Learner Leadership headed up our Spirit Week, and we hope all of our learners actively participate. The week will culminate on Friday with the final presentation of our incentives from the fundraiser and Fun Run. Our amazing CSA learners and their families raised a total of $15,420!!!! Spirit Week dress days and the Fun Run Incentive activities are as follows:

  • Monday – Sports Day
  • Tuesday – Twin Day
  • Wednesday – TV/Movie Character Day
  • Thursday – Tourist Day
  • Friday – Squadron Color Day
    • Alpha – Pink
    • Delta – Black
    • Foxtrot – Blue
    • Tango – Orange
    • Yankee/Zulu – White
  • Friday Fun Run Incentives
    • Tape Mrs. Acheson to the Side of the Modular
    • Pie in the Face of Your Favorite Facilitator
    • Cut off Mr. Vine’s Tie
    • Chick-fil-A Lunch with Mrs. Acheson 

This proves to be a great end to the quarter and a wonderful start to Spring Break!

And one more fundraising opportunity! Your learner will be bringing home a flyer that itemizes the needs for the CSA Gala Silent Auction. Please know that public charter schools depend on the support of our families. We don’t charge tuition and have very few fees for families, and your help in supplying an item or two is essential to help support your learner’s school. The gift baskets will be auctioned at the CSA Gala, and we hope that many of the aerospace industry attendees will bid often and bid high!

Please also know that we are working closely with the Cherry Creek School District and state health organizations to ensure that we follow all of the safeguards for Coronavirus to keep our learners, staff, and learners healthy.  

Continue to spread the good word about Colorado SKIES Academy! We currently are at a count of 169 learners with the goal of reaching 250 learners for the 2020-21 school year.

Warm regards,

Suzanne Acheson
School Director
