Pacific Sky Family Update
Principal's Weekly Message 8/13 - 8/17
Hello Pacific Sky Families,
This is our first official Principal’s Weekly Message for the 2023-2024 school year! These weekly messages will be sent out to our school community on Sunday mornings so we can be on the same page regarding important information about our school and programs, as well as upcoming dates and events.
I am so incredibly grateful to be a member of this collaborative community and so thankful for your partnership as we work together toward what’s best for every single Pilot we are lucky enough to serve. Our staff has been working tirelessly to prepare for this school year, and they can’t wait until the campus comes to life as your children walk through the gates tomorrow morning. In an effort to support a smooth first day, let’s get this school year started by sharing a few important upcoming dates and information!
We hope to see you at our PTA table that will be located in front of school tomorrow morning. Be sure to swing by for a cup of coffee after you drop off your Pilot.
With Great Pilot Pride,
Chelsea Moore, Principal

Pacific Sky Family Handbook
Our Family Handbook aims to assist our students and families with necessary information regarding school policies, procedures, and the agreements we need to ensure this is an enjoyable, successful, and safe school year. Your understanding and support of this information help us establish a learning environment that is respectful, conducive to learning and ensures the safety and welfare of all students.
We appreciate your support and involvement as we partner to provide a nurturing, inspiring, and rigorous educational program for each of our Pilots.

A Message from Officer Del Toro, Captain of Northwestern Division
Hello and welcome to our Pacific Sky families! We hope that you all had a wonderful summer!
We are thrilled to welcome our new Principal, staff, and students!!
Teachers and Staff Appreciation
Pacific Sky PTA loved celebrating our wonderful teachers and staff on Friday, 11th of August. We hope to do many more fun events this year.
Breakfast Social!
Please be sure to stop by and enjoy a cup of coffee and a bagel after drop-off on Monday, August 14th in front of our school. It is such a great opportunity to catch up with our Pacific Sky community and learn more about the PTA and all of the fun programs and events that we have planned for you this year.
Our annual PTA membership campaign is underway. Membership allows us to continue supporting our students, staff, and families. All families are encouraged to participate by becoming a member! Our membership helps to fund amazing events throughout the year, our staff mini-grants, assemblies, and staff appreciation (visit https://pacificskypta.org/programs/2022-23 to see the programs/events organized and sponsored by the PTA in the last school year). Our goal is to reach a higher level of participation. If we achieve 80% participation, we will gather on a Monday afternoon to see Principal Moore become a human sundae!
