Dear Snowy Range Academy Community,

We are just wrapping National School Choice week and I hope you all had a chance to share why you love Snowy Range Academy! There are of course, many wonderful reasons, but I am particularly impressed with our amazing staff, our hard-working students and our committed parents. Together we create a positive school culture and structure that yields great academic results. As we move into February we look forward to continued progress and opportunities to celebrate student achievements.

Facility Improvements Update

We recently received our bid results on our proposed building improvements, which included an improved front entrance as well as the creation of an additional classroom to accommodate one more 1st grade classroom next year. The bids did come in higher than expected, but we still have plans in place to create the additional classroom, while the front entrance work may have to wait. As always, we are committed to ensuring our building is safe and functional every day and will keep you informed as we work to make needed improvements to our building.

National Support for Charter School Facilities

On that note of school improvements, I would like to call your attention to a federal bill currently under consideration that aims to expand support for charter school facilities nationwide. This is H.R. 7086 Equitable Access to School Facilities Act. Securing funding to build, renovate and improve charter schools is a nationwide issue. If you would like to learn more or how you can be involved, there is information provided in the linked Fact Sheet here. We will continue to monitor this bill closely, as it has the potential to positively impact charter school communities across the country.

Registration

In February, we kick-off our registration process, which is essential for us to adequately plan for the upcoming year. Please fill out the Re-Enrollment Form on page 4 of the newsletter to let us know if you are planning to return or not. We appreciate you filling this out as soon as possible!

Lastly, I want to give a shout out to our hard-working middle school students who recently competed in the Regional Science Fair and/or the upcoming Math Counts competition. It is great to see our students showcase their critical and creative thinking skills-nice job!

Thank you, as always, for your partnership and support. Together, we are building not only a successful second semester, but a strong future for our students.

Warm regards,
Caroline Hickerson
Principal
