Welcome to the Class of 2028

& Skyview 6^th grade families

My name is Melissa Kline and I am excited to introduce myself and Skyview Middle School PTSA to you! I am honored to serve for the second time as Skyview's PTSA President. I have an 8th grader at Skyview and a 10th grader at North Creek High School. Please send me any questions you may have about Skyview, and I will gladly respond or direct you to the right person if I don’t know the answer.

Please know that our PTSA is working to find innovative ways of connecting you (our families), with the school and our communities. Transitioning into middle school, from elementary school, is a big change for everyone. Parental support in the middle school is different than in elementary school and as a parent you are not able to volunteer in the traditional sense, but you can still be involved and make a huge impact! While it may look different, there are many ways to help at Skyview and one of those is getting involved in PTSA.
