Skyview School of STEM
August 31, 2023
From the Principal's Desk
Hello Skyview families,
It has been a great week here at Skyview! We have been working hard to develop relationships and clear system expectations right off the bat so that we can more effectively focus on our academic and social learning throughout the school year. I can see that this work early on is really preparing us for success in the coming months.
Thank you all for your partnership in setting up systems within our school. I appreciate how you are helping before and after school during our pick up and drop off times. As a reminder, our doors open at 7:45 each morning, so please stay with your children until we are ready to receive them for the day.
Our preschool started this week and their day ends at 2:25. Elementary families can help this process at the end of the day by not arriving in the pick up lane until after 2:40. This will help us keep our parking lot safe while also running efficiently. Other options for pick up are using the church across Pine Street and using the crosswalk to enter our campus or parking on one of our streets and then meeting your children on foot.
We will be relaunching our parent volunteer program that was formerly called Watch DOGS. This is for any parent figure within our school who may want to engage with students and keep a watchful eye on our grounds. An information meeting will be held this coming Thursday, September 7 from 5:00-6:00. Please RSVP with the front office at 970-686-8500 if you plan to attend.
We will be observing Labor Day on Monday, so please remember that there will be no school. See you all Tuesday morning.
Sincerely,
Evan Netzer
Skyview Principal
Student Pick Up
In order to keep our students safe and minimize traffic problems in the afternoon pick up time, we are asking that preschool parents arrive at 2:25pm and elementary parents arrive no sooner than 2:40pm. Thank you for helping us navigate the best possible pick up time with our very large population!

Request from the Health Office
