A Message from the Director

Dear CSA Families,

It would be hard to miss what’s happening with our building construction! But just in case, every week we will be including a photo of our progress. Hope you enjoy seeing our continued progress!

Our first dance, CSA Starry Night, was a huge success! Learners, parents, and staff all had a wonderful time!

Below you’ll find important dates for your learner approaching soon, along with some updated information:

  • Last Monday of the Quarter (March 9): Any makeup assignments or past-due assignments are turned in to your facilitator.
    • When you look on PowerSchool, you will see three different grade types:
      • Blank = assignment has not been given yet.
      • NHI 50% = “Not Handed In” 50% = prior to March 9, this is an assignment your learner needs to complete and turn in. After March 9, it will remain as “NHI 50%” and will be part of the final grade.
      • Regular grade = assignment is turned in and recorded.
  • March 13: Quarter 3 ends
  • March 16-20: Spring Break
  • March 23: Hearing and vision screening for all grades 
  • March 28: CSA Reach for the Stars Gala (fundraiser with greater Denver Metro area aerospace companies invited to attend)
  • April 6-10: CMAS State Assessments at CSA (makeup testing scheduled after April 10): An information letter will be mailed home as the date approaches.
  • April 13-14: Learner-Led Conferences (facilitators will be sending schedules out for families to sign up)

Lastly, please compliment your learners on how well they’ve been taking care of their Chromebooks. We have had very few issues with the Chromebooks because the learners are taking such good care of the equipment. We will continue to maintain 1:1 technology, as it is a vital part of our curriculum and a valuable resource for our learners.

Continue to spread the good word about Colorado SKIES Academy!

Warm regards,

Suzanne Acheson
