SMS Pick-Up & Picture Plan

Hello Skyview Families!

Happy start of the school year - It is hard to believe summer is finally coming to a close, and we are about to make history learning online! This communication is solely for the purpose of explaining our process for you to collect classroom materials and to take school photos for Student ID’s, family pictures, and the yearbook. There is a lot of information in this email, so please read all the way to the end.

At Skyview, students and families will have an opportunity to pick up important school items and get their pictures taken on September 14th and 15th between 10:00 AM and 7:00 PM. Throughout the process described below, students and families will remain in their cars to collect and return items.

Please help keep our staff safe and always wear masks when coming to campus. Do not come on campus if you have any symptoms associated with COVID-19 or if anyone in your family has been exposed to someone who tested positive for COVID-19 in the last 14 days. If you are in any of these categories, please email mjefferson@nsd.org to schedule an appointment when it is safe to do so.

Please note:

  • O'Connor Photography will be sending order information via email to the parent email address on file after your student's pictures are taken. 
  • There is NO option for picture make ups or retakes at this time, please make every effort to make it on one of these two days.

We’ve been hard at work collecting classroom materials students will need for learning at home during Northshore 3.0! Below are our procedures for families:
