Message from Principal 

Dear Falcon Parents and Guardians,

What an amazing start to the 2025-2026 school year! This week, we had the pleasure of welcoming all our Falcon students back to Skyline for three fantastic days. The excitement in the hallways and the dedication in the classrooms were truly inspiring. We are incredibly grateful to be back together as one school community.

A special highlight of the week was our senior sunrise on Thursday morning. It was wonderful to kick off the year with the Class of 2026, enjoying the breathtaking Colorado sunrise together.

Here’s to a remarkable year ahead. #WeAreSkylineEveryDay!

Kind regards,

Anthony Barela – Principal

Code of Conduct

Thank you for your partnership and supporting the academic growth, safety, and well-being of our students. Every year, St. Vrain Valley Schools prints an up-to-date version of the Code of Conduct for students and families to review. This important document guides students and school staff on what expectations for school conduct and the consequences for behaviors that fall outside of those expectations. It is important that families review this information every year and acknowledge their receipt and understanding of this document. Please click on this link to access the entire document and follow the directions to complete it.


Important iPad Updates for the 2025–2026 School Year

St. Vrain’s District Technology Services has made several updates to student iPads for the upcoming school year to support a focused and secure digital learning environment both at school and at home. One key update is the implementation of a new internet filter, Securely, which adds an extra layer of protection to iPads by blocking certain types of websites.

For more information about these updates – and what they mean for your child’s device — please click here

SHS iPad Update and we are Going Cell Phone-Free During Class Time 

Skyline sent out information a number of times this summer in order to outline our Cell Phone Norms and expectations.  In case you missed those communications below is what was shared with our community.  * = new information.  

Dear Skyline Families,

At Skyline High School, we are dedicated to providing the best possible learning environment where every student can thrive academically. Research and our own experience show that limiting cell phone use during instructional time helps students stay focused, engaged, and ready to succeed.  Please click on this link to access the classroom norm.  As a district we have updated the iPad settings for all secondary students.  Please click on this link to access our letter outlining these changes.    

To support this, SHS will be implementing a school-wide cell phone-free norm during class time. At the start of each class period, students will store their phones in a designated area—such as their backpack in the classroom—and retrieve them at the end of class. This simple shift will help maximize learning and minimize distractions.

If you need to reach your student during the day, please contact our main office at (720) 494-3741, and we’ll ensure they get your message.

If a student does not follow this expectation, we will utilize the *district’s adopted practice for responsible use of technology and also meet with an administrator to review expectations.  We will also review these with every student during the first days of school.  

Thank you for partnering with us to build a focused, productive, and academically rich environment for all students. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us—we’re here to support you. Go Falcons!
