I am excited to be in my second year as a Speech Language Pathologist at SkyView Academy! My favorite part about being a speech therapist is the connections I get to make with the students and their families. I just moved to Colorado a year ago, and I love exploring my new home. In my free time, you can find me at the gym, playing video games, reading, or hanging out with friends.

I am a Colorado native that grew up in the Greeley area. I spent many years in Texas with my husband of 30 years. We have three beautiful children and a dog named Jayne. Spending time with family and friends brings me joy. I was a Home Economics Education major and have used those skills in each stage of my life. As a stay-at-home mom, of many years, I bring a nurturing vibe with me into the classroom.

It is an honor to have the opportunity to work with the Leadership team at SVA. I began working at SVA as the Assessment Coordinator, then moved into the Assistant Principal role, and now I am the Lower School Principal. I graduated from Southern Illinois University after having two children, Nicolas and Jenna and then moved out to Colorado. For the past 20 years I have been working at charter schools in the South Metro area, mostly as an Elementary Teacher serving students in grades 3-5, as well as being a literacy specialist for a few years. I believe in the vision and mission here at SkyView and look forward to working with the amazing staff here. I spend my free time with my adult children and granddaughters, traveling to college football games, and hiking and camping during the summer.

Welcome SVA families! My name is Cynthia Hurtado-Cox and this will be my 10th year at SVA! I will be teaching Technology to our elementary students!
I am originally from Mexico City. My family moved to the United States when I was eight years old and I am very lucky to call Colorado my home. I graduated from the University of Colorado at Denver and I started my teaching career as a homeroom teacher in Aurora Public Schools. After three years I decided to get an endorsement in Spanish and I found a home here at SVA! I taught Spanish at SVA for five years and I enjoyed having the opportunity to share the Spanish language with my students.
Throughout my teaching career, one of my passions has always been using technology in the classroom and figuring out educational ways to integrate it into every lesson. I love that Technology has the potential to give every student a voice by offering a digital platform to collaborate and to learn. I earned my Technology K-12 endorsement from the Colorado Department of Education. This will be my fifth year serving as your child’s Technology teacher. My goal is to motivate students to engage in deeper learning, help them become agents of their own learning and to inspire them to lead in this digital age. I will incorporate Google Classroom at the elementary level and use it as a tool for my students to build community and collaborate with one other! I am excited for this upcoming school year and I look forward to working and learning with your child!
