Dear Colorado Skies Academy Families,

Thank you for joining us for our most recent Staff & Parent Town Hall last Tuesday! It meant so much to me to make my announcement to you “live” (if you were unable to attend, see the “Town Hall Recording Link” article below). Leading this school has been an immense honor, and I deeply value each and every one of you and the trust you’ve placed in me this year. I will be forever grateful for your ongoing support for myself and my staff.

Sincerely,

Katie
