Message from the Director, Suzanne Acheson
Hello, Colorado SKIES Academy Families and Community,
A HUGE thank you to everyone who helped with the CSA booth at Parker Days! It is such a blessing to be part of such a supportive school community! As a result, we are able to report to Cherry Creek Schools that our enrollment is on target! We can easily meet our enrollment goals for the coming school year.
The enrollment process has different stages. They are:
It is our goal to have 100 percent of all learners with “Documentation Completed” by the beginning of the school year.
Help us reach our goal! If you are in the “Enrollment Accepted” or “Documentation in Process” stage, be one of the families that gets all of your documentation completed by June 30th . Your name will go in a drawing to go flying on a donated flight, leaving from Exploration of Flight with Maj. Gen. (ret.) John Barry! Eight names will be drawn! Be one of them!
