I hope you had a restful and enjoyable spring break. Believe it or not, we are now in the final quarter of the 2025-26 school year, and we have accomplished great things together.
As we begin to wrap up and prepare for our transition to Coal Creek P-8, I wanted to touch base with you on a few important topics to ensure everyone is informed about what the immediate future holds.
This year our community has been hard at work preparing to welcome a number of new schools to the district, and one opening soon now has its official name.
Coal Creek P-8, located at 801 N. Tempe St. in Aurora, will open in August 2026 in the new Horizon Uptown development. The APS Board of Education recently approved the school’s name, attendance area and mascot — Pronghorns — during its regular business meeting.
