Dear Families,

Skyline Elementary is an awesome place to be right now.   Our students and teachers are excited to begin a new year.   We hope you enjoyed many of the family activities during the Month of December.  

The students are working extremely hard in their studies for the upcoming FCAT exams.  During the month of February, our fourth grade students will be taking FCAT Writes.  The exam will measure their writing ability in either expository or narrative writing.   Our goal is that 90% of our students will meet or exceed a 3.5 on this exam.   If you are a parent of a fourth grader, please make sure your child is here on time, has a good breakfast, and gets a good night sleep.   Your encouragement will go a long way as well. 

Please stop by to take a look at our new Cafeteria floor.  It was Skyline’s gift from Santa this year.   The workers were busy tearing out the old and putting in the new while the students enjoyed their winter break.   We are excited to have a floor that shines like our students do each day. 

Keep in mind you can help our school by making sure your Target Credit Card is registered to donate back to Skyline.  Just go to Target.com to designate Skyline as your school of choice.  Anytime you use your card, a portion of the profit is given to Skyline Elementary.   We feel so fortunate this year that the community has come together to help students in our school who are having financial issues.   Please take a look at our list of businesses to thank.   Without the communities help, we would not have been able to provide food and gifts to our families in need. 

As always, thank-you for sharing your child with us.  Your child makes our school special.

Sincerely,

Mr. Chuck Vilardi
Principal

A New Beginning

 The New Year can be a time for starting over.  If your child has had difficulty in school, the start of the New Year may offer a chance to begin again.  As a parent, if you haven’t had an opportunity to be a part of your child’s school life, the New Year offers you the chance to do so.

   Help your child think about one area in which he/she could do better in school.  Then set a goal together such as bringing a math grade up, doing homework on time, or reading after school every day.

   Help your child take steps to reach this goal and keep a chart or graph of how well he/she does.  You’ll be improving how well your child does in school and helping them feel better about themselves at the same time.

We would like to thank the  following businesses for supporting our school:

Nail Art & Co.

Skyline Elementary Adopts Marine Platoon

Skyline Elementary has adopted a Marine Platoon that is serving in Iraq.  There are 25 men in the platoon, one of them being a former Skyline student and the son of a faculty member.  As a school, we are showing them our support by sending Care Packages and cards and letters.  These Marines are far away from friends and family and any kind of support we can give them is greatly appreciated.  Items for the Care Packages can be dropped off in the front office.  Thank you for showing that Skyline
cares!

Parents/Guardians/Concerned Citizens – Please help us with our awareness program regarding school zones. We have joined forces with our local government agencies, law enforcement, and school community groups to help get the message across that our students are far too valuable to be speeding and carelessly driving in and around school zones. Know that all our groups will be focused on making to and from school even safer than it already is. “Eyes” will be watching out for our young people.

Please observe the stop sign as you exit our Parent Pick Up area.  Stopping here could save a life.  Our concern is for the safety of all of our students.
  
Thank you

 Keeping children safe in designated school zones is a top priority.
