Dear Colorado SKIES Academy Families,
Here we go! We are so excited to welcome your learners back to school this Monday, August 14 to begin the 2023-2024 education journey with them!
Thank you to everyone who attended the New Learner Orientation and Back to School Block Party last Wednesday. We hope that you and your learner got the information you needed and had some fun. Rest assured, if you weren’t able to make it to the event, we will be ready on Monday morning to welcome your learner. We will provide them with their schedule and elective choices, handle any other logistical needs, and most importantly, make sure that they have a great first day of school!
Important update: Learners who have completed the CSA Enrollment Packet should come to school on Monday, regardless of the status of the Cherry Creek parent portal setup!
