Comet News: Vision and Hearing Screenings, GT Testing, Voco Choir

Skyview Mission: To engage and inspire all students to innovate, achieve, and succeed in a safe and supportive environment by ensuring high-quality instruction in every classroom, every day. 

 

Dear Families,

Today, September 11th, we remember and honor the lives lost in the tragic events of 2001, along with the first responders and everyday heroes who showed such courage that day. At Skyview, we're teaching our Comets that kindness, service, and looking out for one another matter every day. Thanks for partnering with us to help every student SHINE each day.

🎉 Good Things

• The love for math is growing each day as students engage with the new math curriculum! We are seeing more students talking about math, enjoying math games, and challenging themselves to explain their thinking. 
• Students and staff created a Post-It note art exhibit outside our art studio. There is so much creativity packed into each small square.
• Our first two clubs are going strong. Students are enjoying Chess Club and Girls on the Run. VOCO choir starts next Thursday (Learn how to sign up below). Other clubs will be rolling soon.
