Dear Colorado SKIES Academy Parents and Supporters,
With less than 5 months until we launch on Monday, August 19th, we feel honored and “wowed” by the widespread enthusiasm for our mission.
Each week, we want to spotlight learners and their families in our weekly email, on our website, and social media. Although we have more families than we do weeks in the year, our goal is to interview learners and their families to include excerpts about them in our Monday Messages so everyone can get to know each other more intimately and boost our sense of community.
To schedule a 10-minute Zoom video conference call at your convenience (days, evenings, or even weekends), please reach out to Lara Fordis at lara.fordis.ne@ileadschools.org or call her at (720) 598-2185.
In addition, if you have not done so already, let us know how you want to be involved with CSA by clicking here filling out this short survey to gauge your areas of interest.
Our sincere thanks to everyone for your ongoing support of CSA!
In gratitude,
The Colorado SKIES Academy Team
