Skyview School of STEM
Welcome Back!
From the Principal's Desk
Dear Skyview Families,
Welcome to the 2023/2024 school year. We are all getting so excited to welcome you and your children back into Skyview. Please take time to read through this message fully. The systems and procedures that we share with you will work only if we work together.
Class lists: Your child(ren)’s teachers will be sending you an email introducing themselves to you. You can expect to receive this email on the afternoon of Friday, August 11.
School supplies: At Skyview, we approach school supplies a little differently. Instead of sending out classroom supply lists, we ask families to participate with a suggested $40 donation to each of their students’ classrooms. With this, the teachers are able to purchase bulk supplies for the entire school year and insure an equitable experience for all children. Please feel free to donate toward school supplies using cash or check and delivering it to your specific classroom teachers.
Meet the Teacher: In an effort to create a more inviting first experience for all of our students, we will have two Meet the Teacher events before the start of our school year. On Monday, August 14 from 3:30 - 4:30, students and adults in our kindergarten through 2nd grade classes are invited to visit the school, meet their teachers, and have a popsicle with the principals out on the playground. Then on Tuesday, August 15 from 3:30 - 4:30, our 3rd through 5th grade students and their adults will have the same opportunity. This will also be a great time to turn in your recommended $40 supply donation to your students’ classrooms.
Further communication about classes will be shared with you via messaging from your students’ teachers. Our goal is for you and your children to get the opportunity to meet their new teacher and view their new classroom. They will also be showing how you can expect to enter the school on your first days of school.
First days of school: The first day of school for 1st through 5th grade students will be Wednesday, August 16. The first official day of school for kindergarten students will be Thursday, August 17. August 16 will provide kindergarten families the opportunity to have introductions to the school in an alternative schedule. More details about kindergarten start will be shared with families next week.
AlphaBEST: Families who are in need of before or after school care should register for our on-site childcare provider, AlphaBEST. Details including registration and application can be found on the Weld RE-4 website.
As we continue to get closer to the start of school, you can expect to receive further information about pick up and drop off systems as well as opportunities to visit and volunteer.
Sincerely,
Evan Netzer
Skyview Elementary Principal
