Message from Principal
Dear Falcon Parents and Guardians,
We are so excited about the incredible things happening at Skyline right now! Our teachers are working hard to create enriching learning experiences, and it’s been inspiring to watch our students dive into their in-class assessments and assignments with focus and determination. We’re also fortunate to be working with an Apple curriculum coach, who is partnering with our staff to bring even more creativity and innovation into our classrooms.
Our fall sports season is off to a fantastic start as well! The volleyball teams have come out strong, and Cross Country is training with great energy as they prepare for their first meet. Soccer launched its season on Tuesday and has two games this week. Softball players are competing with Falcon pride, cheerleading has been working hard all summer to be ready to cheer on our teams and football is ready to kick off its season this Friday vs Silver Creek.
The support from our students and families makes all the difference—thank you for cheering on our athletes and celebrating the dedication of our amazing coaches!
We’re excited to announce that Skyline Theatre has officially wrapped up tryouts for this fall’s production! This year’s student-directed one-act plays will take on a playful twist with the theme: “The Seussification of A Midsummer Night’s Dream.”
It’s always such a joy to watch our talented students shine—on stage and behind the scenes—as they come together to create unforgettable performances. Stay tuned, you won’t want to miss it!
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.

Cafeteria Update
Ala Carte: In addition to free breakfast and lunch, our cafeteria will be offering purchase options for students who would like to do so ala carte. Here is what is going to be offered for purchase.
Breakfast
- Hours: A la carte will be offered from 7:20AM to 8:00 AM. This is a smart approach, as it allows students to purchase items before classes begin without disrupting the school day.
- Free Breakfast: Free breakfast will still be available from 7:20 to 10:00 AM, so students have a choice between the two options.
Lunch
- Hours: The a la carte line will open right after the main lunch line begins serving.
- Location: Line 2 will be dedicated to a la carte items.
Important Notes for Students
- Exact Change Only: This is the most crucial part of the process. Students will not receive change back for a la carte purchases.
- Remaining Funds: Any money a student overpays will be added directly to their lunch account.
- Adding Money: Students can also add money to their lunch accounts online.
