News from the 'View
Skyview Upper Elementary School
From the Principal's Desk...
The annual "Meet the Teacher" nights for Skyview are Monday, September 15th (for 5th grade) and Monday, September 22nd (for 6th grade). Informational flyers will be sent home about these events on Thursday. These evenings begin in your child's homeroom at 7 p.m. These events are intended for parents to get to know Skyview and a bit about classes and the student day. If you need to talk more in detail about your child, please schedule a time to talk with the teacher.
We begin each student day at Skyview with morning announcements. These include birthday wishes, daily happenings a quote related to the Character Counts pillars and a moment of silence followed by the pledge of allegiance. On Thursday, September 11th we will honor Patriot Day with our moment of silence. Our quote will focus on citizenship and is from Abraham Lincoln, " I like to see a man proud of the place in which he lives. I like to see a man live so that his place will be proud of him."
Have a great week!
Mrs. Gorla
Attendance
As we welcome another school year here at Skyview Upper Elementary School, we want to highlight the importance of school attendance. September is National Attendance Month. Regular attendance benefits students by keeping them engaged in their learning environment. When students are engaged, they become motivated to learn and to practice newly formed skills. Good attendance habits will also come into play when students have careers, in which attendance will become a life skill. Attendance at school opens up doors for students, providing new academic and social experiences and an arena in which to practice and develop new skills. There are many, many benefits of regular school attendance. For information and a parent tool kit to help improve attendance, please see www.attendanceworks.org. Let’s welcome the new school year, and pledge to have regular attendance at Skyview this year so that students can benefit together from one another’s presence in the classroom and work together as they master the skills they will be learning from their Skyview teachers.
