    The curriculum at the elementary school level includes: English language arts (reading, writing, listening, and speaking), mathematics, science, and social studies. The keystone to our elementary program is a balanced literacy approach that emphasizes the acquisition of a scope and sequence of skills and strategies within the context of reading and writing to ensure that our students become lifelong learners and problem solvers. A developmental guidance curriculum is taught by counselors at all grade levels. Beyond the regular day, the elementary schools have a co-curricular program that includes special area teachers in art, vocal music, instrumental music, specialized curricular areas, health and physical education, speech therapy and English as a second language. Instructional assistants support teaching efforts in many ways. All classrooms are equipped with networked computers for enrichment in language arts and mathematics.

    Students at Skyview are grouped into teams. A typical fifth grade student day includes instruction in integrated language arts, math, social studies and science. Fifth graders attend special area classes on a six day cycle including: art, music, physical education, computer literacy, library and health. A typical sixth grade student day includes instruction in reading, English, math, science and geography. Sixth graders attend special area classes on a six day cycle including: art, music, library, technology education, health and physical education.The Skyview schedule operates as an upper elementary school with no bells. Each team has dedicated "flex" time throughout the six-day cycle to provide the opportunity for extension and supports. Dedicated time at the conclusion of the day allows students to participate in musical ensembles of their choice or focus on reading, and for teachers to provide continuing support.
