News from the 'View
Skyview Upper Elementary school
The first day of school is almost here...
As a parent, I know that this time could best be described as a roller-coaster. I have two sons also beginning virtual classes on Tuesday in a neighboring school district. I am still working on making sure that they are organized for their first days - student emails, google classroom and zoom links...and there are many emails! I share this with you all so that you know that I "get it" - and I want you to know that I, along with Ms. Otero, the school counselors Mrs. Hadrick and Mrs. VanBuren and the office staff, are here to help. We can all be reached by email or by calling the school office.
The Skyview main office will have extended hours on Tuesday, September 8 from 7 a.m. - 7 p.m. If you were unable to pick up materials last week, you may come to the office during this time. (Please remember to wear a mask.)
The Skyview staff and I greatly appreciate your support. Best wishes for a good first day!
Mrs. Melissa Gorla
Principal
WHERE DO I FIND...
Invitations to Google Classrooms...
Students received invitations (in their student email) to each of their assigned google classrooms. Skyview students switch classes. They will have classes for each core academic area, assigned first marking period specials, physical education and homeroom.
In an effort to provide multiple ways to access time-specific homeroom schedules:
- Soaring to Skyview - the virtual orientation site has homeroom schedules posted on the team pages. You can view schedules and check out introductions from teachers!
- Attached to this newsletter is a PDF version of 5th and 6th grade schedules. These are by team (you will need to know your child's homeroom). These are they same as the information posted on Soaring to Skyview.
- The "HOMEROOM" google classroom will have the schedule reference document posted. This includes times and zoom links.
Zoom links...
Zoom links are posted in each subject-area google classroom. The "homeroom" google classroom has a reference sheet posted for students to access their specific schedule. This reference includes teacher, photo, scheduled time and letter day and zoom link.
Help with student emails...
