An Overview of the Skyview Schedule
Remember that students at Skyview are organized into TEAMS:
- In GRADE 5 these are teams of 3 teachers (all teachers instruct ELA and either Math, Social Studies or Science)
- In GRADE 6 these are teams of 5 teachers (Reading, English, Math, Science, Geography)
Students will have separate google classrooms for each of their subject areas (including for assigned special areas.)
Mrs. Gorla's screencast video explaining the schedule overview is also provided below the photos.

Good Morning Skyview Families -
As we prepare for an on-line start to the 2020-2021 school year, we know that there are many questions. Over the coming weeks you will receive communications from both the building and district levels. One thing to start thinking about is your child’s learning work space. Here are some items that students would likely find beneficial to have near their learning work space at home: pencils, pens, colored pencils, crayons, scissors, tape, paper, highlighter, ruler, erasers, post-it notes, expo marker, glue sticks, small pencil sharpener and headphones.
If you need assistance with supplying school supplies, please contact the Skyview main office (610-489-5000 ext. 34200) and a school supply bag will be provided for your child.
