News from the 'View

I hope that everyone enjoyed time away from schoolwork these past several days! This is a friendly reminder to all students to log their attendance no later than 12 noon today (and every day!) Student daily attendance directions can be found here.

As we continue on our virtual learning journey, please remember that the Skyview staff and I are here to help. Teacher, counselor and support staff office hours are posted in google classrooms and for reference on the Skyview website. I frequently check my email and am happy to assist in answering questions and offering support via email or return phone call.

I'd like to thank our families for their continued patience as we have all acclimated to this new mode of learning for our community. We will continue to do our best to address your concerns and questions and to work to design ways to engage our student community. Stay tuned in the coming weeks for information on virtual community building activities.

Remember, no matter where we are...#CharacterCountsatSkyview
