Note from the Directors - Ms. Oviatt, Ms. Miller, and Ms. McDaniel
As things continue to shift and change as we move into September and further into the first quarter of learning for your scholar, we thank our Skyhawk families for patience, hard work, and care. We could not have launched the start of this school year without any of those things from our families and hope that you felt the same from us!
We want to continue to hear your voices. We can't grow and get better for your scholars without your help. Take this survey to provide feedback on the SLA experience - https://forms.gle/CreSyEcCyW157MeTA .
Lastly, we will continue to ask for your patience and care as we move into this next phase of school launch this year. Thank you for completing your learning choice surveys - it will allow us to make the most efficient and safe learning experiences for each of your scholars.
With Scholars First,
Ms. Oviatt, Primary Director
Ms. Miller, Middle School Director
Mrs. McDaniel, High School Director
Mr. Smith, Operations Director

(NEW) PROGRESS REPORTS & SUBMITTING WORK
Teachers are working hard to finalize our first round of progress reports to send no later than Monday, Sept. 21st. Please ensure that your scholars have all of their work submitted so that their grades accurately reflect their effort. Please reach out to your scholar's teacher if you need any assistance submitting grades.
(NEW) MAP TESTING
Scholars will continue MAP testing this week during the afternoon from 1-3:30pm. Please make sure scholars are working on this assessment independently so that we can get an accurate picture of what they know without any parent support. We will use this data to create scholar goals and support their needs during the year. Stay tuned to communication from your scholar's teacher for details on which test they will be taking.
Congratulations to our SOAR Scholars of the Month for August 2020!

Uplift Summit had the best high school attendance in August! However, we're starting to see attendance decline this past week. Help us reach our goal of 100% by asking your scholar to log into Schoology show you what they completed in class for the day. Scholars must log into each class daily to get credit for attendance.
