🎉 Award Day is Almost Here! 🎉
Families of our amazing award recipients should have already received their notification — and we can’t wait to celebrate with you! Please stop by the table in the hallway to check in and grab a visitor badge before heading to the assembly which will take place in our Gymnasium.

We kindly ask that if you’re joining us for a Kindergarten or 1st grade student, you consider staying through the end so our 2nd graders get just as much love and cheering as the earlier groups. Let’s make the whole celebration feel special from start to finish! 🌟

Friday: Field Day

Hello Skyview families!

It is that time of year. Field day will be Friday, May 15th. We are going to be holding the Kinder-2nd-grade field day from 8:30-11 am. The 3rd -5th grade will then start their Field day at 12:12 to 2:15 pm. You are more than welcome to come cheer our comets on.

 

Things to remember:

Students can bring water bottles, sunscreen if needed, hats, and comfortable active clothing. We will be doing 

a ton of running, throwing, relays, etc.

 

PLEASE NOTE: If you are volunteering for field day please sign in with the office, then ask for Ms. Carlton or you can find me in the gym to receive a description of your stations.

 

IF YOU ARE NOT VOLUNTEERING, please go around back to support and cheer your kiddos on, please know that access for bathrooms and water will not be allowed unless you have checked in with the office.

This is going to be a day of fun and I cannot wait to share it with everyone!!!

 

Ms. Carlton

Your voice matters! 📣

As we wrap up the school year, we're asking Skyview families to take a few minutes to complete our End-of-Year Survey. Your feedback helps us understand what's working and how we can improve your experience at Skyview.

The survey asks about things like:

• How connected you feel to our school

• What you've noticed in your child as a result of our community-building practices

• How well we're keeping you informed and involved

Your honest responses shape how we grow as a school. Every answer matters — please take a moment to complete the survey by May 20th.
