Teacher Appreciation Monthly Treats:
2nd Wednesday of each month – drop off at Skyridge in the morning. Whitney Jensen will do October 12
Principal Q&A: Principal Wallwork
Skytime is for Academic Support – that’s what the main priority needs to be. It’s not for social interactions or club meetings. Except sometimes teachers can hold a club meeting. Just not every day – especially if they are a math teacher. Students should not use the bathroom or get drinks at the beginning of Skytime - they should wait 10 minutes or so. Students should request on their phones where they’d like to go during Skytime at least one day prior. Students who don’t need to go meet with a teacher should remain in their 2nd period class and read a book or do homework 😊 GOAL: LIMIT DISTRACTIONS

Principal Q&A: Principal Wallwork
Skytime is for Academic Support – that’s what the main priority needs to be. It’s not for social interactions or club meetings. Except sometimes teachers can hold a club meeting. Just not every day – especially if they are a math teacher. Students should not use the bathroom or get drinks at the beginning of Skytime - they should wait 10 minutes or so. Students should request on their phones where they’d like to go during Skytime at least one day prior. Students who don’t need to go meet with a teacher should remain in their 2nd period class and read a book or do homework 😊 GOAL: LIMIT DISTRACTIONS
