Dear Families,

There was a controlled burn in the Rocky Mountain Arsenal that was sending smoke into the air by the school today. We adjusted our HVAC system to minimize the amount of smoke coming into the building and turned up our classroom air filters. This helped keep our air as clean as possible. The burn is scheduled to end at 4:00 pm today. We are hoping for clearer skys tomorrow.
