As we enter the month of November, it's a perfect time to come together as a community to recognize and celebrate Indigenous Peoples Month. This annual observance allows us to pay tribute to the rich and diverse cultures, histories, and contributions of indigenous people throughout the United States.

ELEVATE provides coaching, intervention, and professional development to support our teachers, parents, and students in achieving their full potential along the academic and social emotional continuum.
We operate on the fundamental belief that through an intentional, student-centered, strength based approach, we can create a paradigm shift in the way we support and empower each and every learner within our community.
Aspen Academy’s ELEVATE program takes a three-tiered approach. By doing so, we honor, cultivate, and celebrate strengths in all learners. Services include:
In our efforts to support students with a variety of learning needs and approaches to learning, it is important for us to be transparent that we are not a school that specializes in special education as it is traditionally known. Our current staffing offers us the ability to serve approximately 25% of all students and admissions decisions may reflect the limited capacity depending on available spaces.

As we enter Quarter 2, we want to remind you of the people and resources available to help all students be successful. We understand that every child is unique and that their educational journey is shaped by various factors. That's why we have a dedicated Elevate Team composed of passionate professionals committed to student growth and development as learners and human beings.
Some parents know their students might have questions about what it means to take a "moment of silence" when something difficult happens globally or locally. Here are tips for talking to your student about what it means to take a moment of silence.
In our ever-evolving world, diversity and inclusivity are fundamental values in education. At Aspen Academy, we take these values to heart and believe that every child is unique and capable of achieving greatness. We recognize that every student learns differently, and we view neurodiverse learning approaches as unique gifts that each individual brings to this learning environment.
When we approach our roles as educators and parents with open hearts and minds, we embark on a journey of continuous learning, discovering the unique identities and backgrounds of our students and their families. As the Director of Elevate at Aspen Academy, I've had the privilege of being part of a vibrant and diverse community, constantly curious about the rich tapestry of lives that intersect here.
