Parent Portal
We encourage all CSA families to stay connected through PowerSchool. Logging in to this portal will allow you to receive emergency messages, view learner assignments and progress as well as complete all registration forms. It is also important that new and returning families complete the check-in through PowerSchool and update their information in the Parent Form Tile.
Go to http://my.cherrycreekschools.org/
- Click “Need Account Assistance” (in red)
- Fill out the required information (you will need your learner’s ID number). An email will be sent to the address you entered to confirm the account creation. It may take up to 15 minutes for you to receive the email confirmation.
- Click on the link in the email to verify your account. This link will return you to the my.cherrycreekschools.org website to begin the check-in process for your learner.
In Applications:
- Select the PARENT FORMS tile
- Check in each learner assigned to your household b. Be sure to click the “next” button at the bottom of each page until you have completed the process for each of your learners. You should have a green checkmark for each learner once check-in is completed. If you get a red X, something is incomplete for that learner.
PowerSchool – Learner Fees
As soon as our learner fee link through PowerSchool is ready to go, we will send out communication to that effect. If you prefer to pay by cash or check, stop in at the school office at any time; otherwise, please wait for our PowerSchool link to be active and pay by credit card that way.
Why Learner Fees?
The CSA Board will be implementing learner fees to offset costs associated with consumable supplies retained by the learner: textbooks, one-to-one computing devices, tests, and supplies for special projects; field trips; and materials/use fees for STEM. In addition, user fees for computer programs, athletic sports, outdoor labs, and technology.
These fees are waivable for learners who qualify for free or reduced lunch and are verified as homeless, unaccompanied, and/or foster children. In addition, waivers of certain fees are granted for learners with individual education plans (IEP) when the service or program is written in as a related service on their IEP. CSA may require learners not eligible for free or reduced lunch to make a reasonable loss or damage payment to cover equipment, textbooks and technology repairs, in accordance with law.
CSA Families may select payment options by paying quarterly installments or pay in full. Fee payments can be made electronically via CSA portal beginning August 1, 2022.
Colorado SKIES Academy Learner Fees for 2022-2023 School Year:
Single Learner: $200 – Individual Student Grades 6-8
Two Learners: $200 for 1st learner; 2nd learner $100 = $300 per family
Multiple Learners: $200 for 1st learner; 2nd learner $100; 3rd learner $100 = $400 per Family
School Lunches
Cherry Creek School District (CCSD) will offer meals for ALL learners for the 2022-2023 school year! All meals will return to a paid status. See the prices below. Families who qualify for free and reduced meals should still fill out the free & reduced meal application for other benefits. Meal applications and menus can be viewed at family.titank12.com.
