Emergency Drills at Skyview
Students and Staff will participate in a weather drill on Friday, May 18th. During this drill students will be directed to locations on the first floor.
Lockout and Lockdown Drills
Students and Staff will participate in both lockout and lockdown (intruder) drills on Tuesday, May 22nd. All staff receives pertinent safety information at the start of the year and all classrooms contain important safety information. Additionally, our staff has recently discussed safety procedures during a series of faculty meetings. During the lockout and lockdown drills, announcements will be made with regard to safety information. Teachers will also engage in brief classroom-based discussion with students during the drill.
Plant Sale
For the past six years Mr. Permar’s class has organized a going green project. All aspects of the project have a “green theme.” This year’s class continued the tradition by growing plants that were for sale during afternoon homeroom. In the fall they sold cacti and succulents and in the Spring various herbs and vegetables. All money raised goes towards purchasing Skyview an environmentally responsible gift. In past years they have donated trees and benches and picnic tables made from 100% recycled plastic. This year they are purchasing bench made of recycled plastic that will have the pillar of responsibility engraved on the back.
Gearing up for Summer...
