Message from Principal
Dear Falcon Parents and Guardians,
We are thrilled to see the impressive work our students are doing at Skyline. Our teachers are dedicated to creating enriching learning experiences, and it’s been a pleasure to observe our students diligently tackling their in-class assessments and assignments this week.
Our fall sports teams are off to a fantastic start. The volleyball teams have hit the ground running, and the Cross Country team is gearing up for their first meet with enthusiastic practices. Soccer kicked off its season on Tuesday and hosted its first home game on Thursday. Softball players are competing with great pride, and football will begin its season on Friday. The support from our students and parents is incredibly meaningful to our athletic teams and dedicated coaches.
This fall, our musical production will be Junie B. Jones. Due to ongoing renovations in our auditorium, this year’s performance will be a traveling show. It’s always a highlight to see our students come together as a cast and crew to produce outstanding performances.
We are delighted to have our students back in school, and the energy in our classrooms is truly palpable. We value the opportunity to work with your children and with you each day.

iPad Refresh and Insurance
This fall, all SVVSD students will be exchanging their iPads for new ones. This exchange took place the first week of school through their English class. If you didn’t make the exchange in your class go to the Library and make that exchange. In order for this exchange to go smoothly, your student needs to do the following at home before the exchange. We will not be able to wait for them to back up when they come in to exchange their iPad. Last day to exchange your iPad will be Friday, September 6th.
We recommend purchasing iPad insurance to ensure your child’s device is protected throughout the school year. You can make an online payment with card in Infinite Campus under “Fees.” If you prefer to pay in person at the office we take credit/debit cards (preferred) or have exact cash payment (no change available at the office) due by September 15th. Click here to review iPad insurance and repair guidelines.
