December

What an exciting month we are having here at Sky View! Thanks to everyone who came out and supported our 5^th grade with the Family Movie Night this past Friday. Also, we had a huge turnout at this month's PTA meeting. Both Kindergarten and our chorus turned in amazing performances. There were certainly many smiling parents in the crowd! We completed our county "Checkpoint" tests this past week. These tests are a mid-school year test to help us monitor learning and gauge our instruction. Please find out how you can help with your child's holiday party. We are sure their teacher will appreciate any help you are able to offer. December 17^th will be the last day of the current grading period and also the last day of school before winter holidays. Students will be welcomed back on January 4, 2011. Thanks for being involved parents and have a wonderful holiday season! -Ms. Cutler and Mr. Watson

Dear Families,

We are still celebrating our huge Fall Festival success! Thanks to the efforts of our Fall Festival committee, our students enjoyed the BEST FESTIVAL EVER!!! Pictures, food, games, prizes, fun, fun, fun!! It was a great day! Thank you so much for supporting Sky View by your active involvement in this day!

Thanksgiving and Christmas are right around the corner. As always, we will make every effort to support our families during this holiday season. We are collecting food items (filling "buckets") for Thanksgiving baskets during the entire month of November. In December we will be receiving holiday support requests. If you would like to help support a family for this holiday season, please see Mr. Pearson or Ms. Fletcher.

Our students will be taking "Checkpoint" testing the second week of December. This test is being given to every 1^st -5^th grader in Cobb County. Students will be tested on reading/language arts and math standards that have been taught so far this year. In addition, students will be "pretested" on what "will be taught", helping us to plan instruction that will be best meet the academic needs of our students. This testing is new to us this year and we are excited to "show what we know"!

As always, Sky View is a busy place…busy making a positive difference for our students and community, busy filling "each child's bucket" with HOPE!

Dear Parents,

Thank you for the active role you are taking in your child's school! From Watch Dog Dads, to parents attending classes, to our very active Fall Festival Committee; we have parents who have chosen to make Sky View's success a top priority! Yeah! Want to get more involved? Just see Chaundra Fletcher, our dedicated Parent Facilitator. She is here to serve as a liaison between the parent(s) and the school. Chaundra offers classes in almost everything! Just drop by the Parent Resource Room, enjoy a cup of coffee and visit with Chaundra. She will help get you started as an active parent volunteer!

Mark your calendar! Our Fall Festival on Saturday, October 23^rd, will prove to be Mableton's biggest success! We have shows, vendors, games, prizes and food! Please plan to come and bring your family and friends. Our parents have planned an exciting day for all. Of course, we could still use a few volunteers. If possible, please plan to donate 30 minutes of your time on that Saturday to assist with games and/or prizes.

We're looking forward to a great month of "learning" during the month of October. We also hope to see YOU during conference week as we plan appropriate instruction for your child during the remainder of the school year.

We'll see you conference week and on the 23^rd!

Wow!  The first month went so quickly!  This has been an amazing beginning to the school year.  We have registered many new students and we've loved welcoming them to our Sky View family!  It was wonderful seeing everyone who came out to Open House.  If you were unable to come please contact your child's teacher to see what you missed.

Fall Break begins 9/20.  There will be no school that week for Cobb County Public Schools.  CogAT testing begins 9/29 for first and third grades and ITBS testing begins 10/4 for third and fifth grades.  Please make sure your child comes to school with a full night's rest so they are able to give their best effort.  Thanks for being involved in your child's education.  As always, if you ever need anything, please don't hesitate to contact us.  Thanks!

WOW! This has been an amazing beginning to our 2010-2011 school year. It has been wonderful to see the smiles on our students' faces. They know when they are here they are safe, loved, and being taught by some of the best teachers Cobb County has to offer. We look forward to seeing all of our parents this year. Please know that your presence at our school is welcome. We hope you will visit our parent resource room to browse the internet or take home engaging activities for your children. Your involvement in your child's education is not only beneficial but necessary. Please be checking your child's agenda each night, go over homework with them, and regularly communicate with your child's teacher. Thank you for trusting us with your children and we look forward to seeing you at Open House on August 31^st. As always, if you ever need anything please don't hesitate to contact us.
