Greetings Eagles!
Last week we held our first Student Athletic Advisory Club meeting, we reviewed the academic eligibility that was shared with winter athletes and families this week. We also discussed areas of growth within our student athletic department. We are very optimistic and our students brought up very important topics. I look forward to sharing more of our work as we continue to develop and grow.
Skyline Academic Eligibility Policy
Families, students, and guests Do Not park in the bus loop. The bus loop should remain clear. Our evening security will begin ticketing vehicles, recording license plate numbers, and if needed your vehicle will be towed. Do Not Park in the BUS LOOP!!

Also, all students need to enter the game 2 minutes before the end of the first half. Admittance will be denied to those trying to enter with 2 minutes to go in the first half.
