Message from the Principal
Skyline Storm Families,
Welcome to a new school year! I extend a warm welcome to our new and returning families to the 2022-23 school year.
I am honored to serve as the principal of Skyline Elementary! As I enter my 14th year of leadership in a principal role (21st year in education), I understand the importance and embrace all opportunities to work together with educators, students, and families. Working together, we can collectively ensure that every student is successful at Skyline Elementary.
With tradition, pride, and excellence comes great responsibility. Our team of educators are committed to ensuring Skyline continues to provide standards of high-quality instruction in every classroom with deep care. Our goal is provide an education that meets the needs in developing the whole child.
Please continue to navigate our school website and monthly newsletters as well as our school and PTO Facebook page to get the most up to date school information.

Learning Matters
At Skyline we value all that we do and provide during any given school—from bell to bell. From that initial bell until 3:20.
So much begins and ends each day...connection, routine, behavior reminders and acknowledgments, school-day wrap-up, etc.
Please try to make appointments for after the school day, if at all possible.
