Traffic Concerns for Parents/Guardians Participating Drop-Off/Pick-Up
Please Review if Your Students are Car-Riders
Handicap Spaces:
We understand that our parking lot is very congested with limited parking during school pick-up. Regardless of limited parking, handicap spaces are only for those with the proper passes.
SMS After School Pick-Up and the Canyon Creek Campus:
The Canyon Creek Elementary School parking lot should NOT be used for Skyview Middle School afternoon car-rider pick-up.
Canyon Firs Neighborhood Reminders:
Please do NOT turn right on 29th while driving up the hill on Maltby Road. Rather, continue on to 39th. There have been speed concerns in the Canyon Firs neighborhood by community members with small children.
Attendance Reminders for Parents/Guardians
Your child’s daily attendance and full participation in classes matter ~ for learning & belonging at Skyview! Please visit Skyview’s Attendance web page for attendance guidelines.
Parents/guardians must notify the Attendance Office to excuse absences (within 48 hours per WA State Law.)
If your student will be absent all day or arriving late to school, please report as soon as possible via email: smsattendance@nsd.org or call 425-408-6810 (24 hr. Voicemail Line).
Early Dismissal:
Pre-arrange in advance- by sending a note with your student to turn in to the Attendance Office, preferably in the morning before school, to pick up a hall pass and give it to their teacher in the class they are leaving early. Parents/guardians meet your student in the Attendance Office with a photo ID at the planned time.
Extended Absences: Plan vacations to coincide with the school calendar, during scheduled school breaks, whenever possible. If it is truly unavoidable and your student will be absent for 5 or more school days, a pre-arranged absence contract form must be completed and signed by parents and all teachers at least one week in advance. See Attendance pre-arranged absence.
Marked Absent in a Single Period:
If your student was marked absent, possibly in error, your student should first talk to their teacher to verify or correct it within 2 school days. Review student’s Attendance Records: In ParentVUE: allow 48 hours for updates.
Enjoy time with family or friends over the upcoming holiday breaks~ Vicki Madsen~ Attendance Secretary

Bring Your Charged Chromebook to School - PLEASE!
Please make sure that all students are bringing their charged chromebooks to school! The library is experiencing a lot of daily chromebook checkouts. Almost all of these students already have a chromebook checked out to them but just didn't bring it.
We often do not have the "ready to use" inventory to support these temporary checkout requests, so it really puts a strain on our system when students just expect that they can leave their chromebook at home and that we will always have one available for them.
Thanks for emphasizing to your child that YOU expect them to bring their fully charged chromebook to school every day!
