Falcon News- October 25, 2024

Message from Principal

Dear Falcon Parents/Guardians,

We had a great week here at Skyline, and I want to express my deep appreciation for your continued support and commitment to our school community. Skyline continues to grow and thrive because of the strong partnership we share.

Do you have friends, family, or coworkers who would like to learn more about what Skyline High School has to offer for their students? Skyline High School offers monthly school tours! Please direct any tour requests to the Skyline High School Tour Reservation.

As we move closer to the end of the semester, it’s crucial that students stay focused on their grades and attendance. Grades are continually updated in Infinite Campus, making this the perfect time to reflect with your student on what’s going well, what might need a bit of fine-tuning, and to set goals for a strong finish.

We’re also approaching the end of the fall sports season, and I want to congratulate all of our student-athletes and coaches for their hard work and dedication. As we transition into the winter sports season, I encourage all students to get involved in extracurricular activities. Whether it’s sports, clubs, or other organizations, being involved not only enriches the high school experience but also builds valuable life skills and fosters a sense of community.

Let’s continue to emphasize the importance of balancing academics with involvement at Skyline. Together, we can ensure that every student is on the path to success.  Below are some opportunities for your student to get involved at Skyline including a spirit dress of week for all to be a part of.  

Please remember – Student Council’s annual Trunk or Treat event is Today- Friday October 25th from 4:30pm – 6:00pm @ Timberline PK-8.  New this year, we will be partnering with Timberline PK-8 as they will host a fun and safe, family-friendly event!
