Message from Principal 

Dear Falcon Parents/Guardians,

We had another amazing week of learning at Skyline!  Our students are finding their stride, engaging deeply in their classes, and building strong learning habits.

A huge congratulations to Ash Berkowitz, who has been named a National Merit Semi-Finalist! This is an incredible achievement and a testament to Ash’s hard work and dedication—way to go, Ash!

Mariachi Shines: Skyline Mariachi Halcones wowed board members at the CASB breakfast last Friday morning. They also have events this weekend to showcase their amazing talents at the All-State Mariachi Festival!

A group of 16 Mariachi student musicians in traditional attire, holding instruments, poses in a warmly lit indoor setting.

As we move forward, we want to keep the focus on two key areas: grades and attendance. Regular attendance is one of the strongest predictors of student success, and we encourage all students to be present and on time each day, ready to learn and grow.

Falcon Families, thank you for supporting your students by checking grades and attendance regularly in Infinite Campus and staying connected through Schoology, where assignments and class updates are posted. Together, we can help every Falcon soar!
