Next Tuesday, we will provide a meal for our teachers between the end of the school day and the beginning of conferences.

Families who would like to contribute may send a voluntary cash or check donation to the Skyview main office before Tuesday’s conferences. Students may also drop off donations in the main office. Checks should be made payable to Skyview Middle School.

Thank you for helping us provide this meal for our staff during a long conference day.

Over the past two years, families have shared concerns about long wait times and the challenge of walking throughout the building to meet with teachers, particularly for families with students in multiple grades.

In response to these concerns we are offering two separate conference formats this fall.

On this night, all teachers will hold conferences in the gymnasium.

Parents will still enter through the main entrance and go to the cafeteria to pick up their student’s schedule and other important documents. You will receive a map with a layout of the gymnasium so you can find your student’s teachers.

On our second conference night, all teachers will use the format that has been more typical in recent years, with teachers holding conferences in their classroom.

Regardless of which evening you attend, please remember that conferences are designed to provide brief updates from teachers and should last approximately five minutes. If you would benefit from a longer conversation with one of your student’s teachers, please arrange a separate meeting with that teacher.

Skyview is hosting a Scholastic Book Fair October 7-14. Students will attend the fair with their ELA class. The book fair will also be open during conferences on October 8 and 13. This is a great opportunity to stock up on books for this fall and winter! Most books cost between $10 and $15. There will also be a few books for $5. Sales tax is additional. In addition to books, there will be pencils, pens, erasers, bookmarks, journals, posters and more for sale. Payment options include cash, credit card, and eWallet.

Please talk with your child about this upcoming event and take a virtual tour. All purchases benefit our students and school. Thank you for supporting our Skyview Hawks!
