Dear Colorado SKIES Academy Families,

Last week was an exciting and busy one for our community as Colorado Skies Academy traveled to Florida to participate in the SUN ‘n FUN Aerospace Expo. We are incredibly proud to announce that our Top Drone Team brought home the gold medal in the World Cup competition, officially earning the title of World Champions!

Congratulations to these outstanding learners and their mentors for their hard work, innovation, and dedication. We would especially like to acknowledge Roy Coryell & Ryan Carr, our CSA Top Drone team coaches, for their hard work & dedication.

CMAS testing will begin next week. Please ensure your learner is well-rested, has a good breakfast, and arrives on time to set them up for success during testing. Please see the schedule below:

  • Monday, April 14: CMAS Testing for all grades
  • Tuesday, April 15: CMAS Testing for all grades
  • Wednesday, April 16: CMAS Testing for all grades
  • Thursday, April 17: CMAS Testing for 8th grade only (with early dismissal to follow for 8th grade learners)

Thank you for your continued support. Please take a moment to read the rest of the articles this week, including CSA Latest News and Announcements, Nurse’s Corner, Every Kids Sports Pass, and more!

In partnership,
Director Christa Coryell, Campus Director Meredith Motley, & Chief of Staff Jennifer Tilghman (Author of the Weekly Flight Path)
