Mission Statement

The mission of Skycrest Elementary School, valuing academic excellence, positive character development, and diversity, is to inspire every student to responsibly contribute to an ever-changing world by engaging in an innovative curriculum that challenges each individual’s learning within a culturally enriched environment in partnership with families, school, and community.

The following six character traits are integrated into our school code of behavior. Please review and discuss the traits with your child.  Working together, we can prepare our students for individual and community success.  Being a positive role model of good character is the best way for teachers, staff, and parents to teach and reinforce the traits.
