Monday Message Colorado Skies Academy

Director’s Message

We were so excited to welcome our learners back last week. Our hope is that we will be able to remain in person for the remainder of the school year amid the rising COVID cases. Our staff is working diligently to provide a safe environment as well as prepare for changes that may occur. Colorado SKIES Academy is following the recommended guidelines below:

  • Mask Mandate – Tri-County Health Department extended the mask mandate. All learners and staff are required to wear a mask when inside the school building.
  • Staff Shortages – Due to the rise in COVID-19 omicron variant cases, we anticipate possible staff shortages that could impact our school. That could result in temporary closures, cancellation of activities, and/or moving to remote learning for individual classrooms or our entire school. We are doing everything we can to keep the school open for in-person learning, but if we must close for any period, we will communicate with you as soon as possible.
  • Class or School Outbreaks – We have strong measures in place to protect the health of our learners and staff at CSA, including mask wearing, social distancing, and monitoring COVID cases. However, if an outbreak requires us to close a classroom or a grade, we will communicate with you as soon as possible.
  • Visitors – CSA will continue to welcome visitors at Colorado SKIES Academy. Visitors will be asked to comply with masking and social distancing.
  • School Meals – There may be times that learners have reduced options or are served bagged lunches if there are not enough staff to prepare hot meals.

The Colorado SKIES Academy office team is available if you have any questions or concerns. Please feel free to reach out if we can assist in any way.

As always, please let me know if I can assist you in any way.

Sincerely,

Anne Wodetzki
