Message from Principal

Dear Skyline Families,

It is exciting to see our students continue to engage in their classes! This week 225 students completed the reading, writing and listening portions of ACCESS testing to show progress on their language skills and acquisition. We also have an impressive number of students taking advantage of time with teachers in order to bolster skills. We have seen a renewed commitment by our students and we will continue to push them towards excellence this semester.

Tribute to teachers:  Each year the St. Vrain Valley Education Foundation honors outstanding educators from around the district.  If you would like to nominate an outstanding teacher from Skyline, here is your opportunity to do so.  Please click on the link below and nominate a teacher from Skyline.

Attendance Update:  Attendance is essential for our students’ success. Starting this week, we will update our tardy policy: students with 5 tardies in a week will receive lunch detention. This averages to one tardy per day. These updated expectations were shared with students during advisory classes prior to break. Thank you for your support in reinforcing the importance of being on time!
