Colorado SKIES Academy Families,
We hope that your year is off to a great start and you are enjoying the longer days of sunshine. We want to be sure that our existing CSA families are receiving each grade level’s Week at a Glance (WAAG) from the facilitators that gives you a day-by-day summary of what your child is working on in their core content classes. If you are not receiving these communications, please reach out to Shane Cronin for 6th grade or Mary Gispan for grades 7 and 8.
Please read the articles in this week’s message, including the many ways to support CSA facilitators and learners through tax-deductible donations, the board-approved academic calendar for the 2024-25 school year, information about Candy Grams from PAC (Parent Action Committee) on Valentine’s Day, the latest news from Athletic Development, summer camp details from local providers, upcoming events details, and more. Have a great week!
In gratitude,
Directors Coryell and Motley
