WELCOME to 2019‐2020 School Year Academy Charter School is a Kindergarten through 8th grade charter school. We are a publicly funded school founded by a parent group in 1993. The building we are currently in was first opened for students in 2001. Our school offers unique educational opportunities through our Core Knowledge Curriculum, our core virtues, and rigorous academics. Find your desk and work on the stations– I’ll be sure to visit with you soon!
Thank you for bringing your school supplies tonight. Please place your supplies in the correct buckets around the room. Find your desk and place the rest of your supplies at your desk. Place any registration forms on the front table.
My name is Tara Lindburg and I’m thrilled to be here with you tonight. I was born in South Dakota, but have lived in Colorado since I was less than a year old. I consider myself a native. My family includes my husband; Chad, my kids; Annika and Soren and my retired racing greyhound; TigerLily I have been teaching at ACS since 2006. I hold a B.S. in Youth Studies, a M.A. in Counseling and a M.Ed in Elementary Education. In my free time I enjoy reading, knitting and crocheting and watching the Colorado Avalanche.
