Message from Principal 

Dear Falcon Parents/Guardians,

We had another exciting week of learning and growth at Skyline!  This week, students had the opportunity to explore their future pathways as the University of Colorado visited to share post-secondary options, and a group toured Front Range Community College, meeting with counselors and learning about the enrollment process.

In the classroom, our staff has been diving into Thinking Maps to help students organize their ideas and strengthen their discussions and responses. It’s inspiring to see our Falcons settling into their routines, working hard, and embracing the learning process.

As we continue through the year, let’s keep the focus on two essentials: grades and attendance. Attendance is one of the strongest predictors of success, and we expect students to be present and on time each day, ready to learn and grow. Families, thank you for checking Infinite Campus regularly and using Schoology to stay connected to assignments and class updates—it’s a powerful way to support your student’s success.

Falcon Students of the Month: We recognized our first group of Falcon Students month this week. Please join me in congratulating these hard working Falcons who were selected by our staff!

Falcon Student/Athletes of the Month: We recognized our first group of Falcon Student/Athletes of the month this week. Please join me in congratulating these hard working Falcons who were selected by our coaches!

Iron Falcon:  Please join us in congratulating Maya Cooper for dominating the regionals in powerlifting—top-tier finish and a well-deserved spot at nationals!

Homecoming 2025-26: Homecoming is right around the corner and about a week away. Below are list of events for the week:

2025-2026 Spirit Week (September 22-September 27)
