A Day in the Life of a Sky Vista Student

A Day in the Life of a Sky Vista Student

The schedule was designed with our mission and values in mind. It allows for a great deal of flexibility to balance academic instruction, enrichment, and support. While our academic schedule is reviewed annually, if warranted we will make adjustments to meet the needs of our students. 

Classes start at 8:50 am and we dismiss at 3:45 pm.  The cafeteria will be open at 8:00 am for homework time and breakfast is available 8:30-8:45. Students are allowed in the hallways at 8:45 am.  At the end of the day, buses will be available (for students who receive transportation) and leave 10 minutes after the last bell of the day. All students should be on their way home or at a supervised space by 4:00. Late shuttle buses run on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday for students participating in academic support, athletics or activities. All students must be picked up by 4:00 pm if not participating in an afterschool activity and by 5:00 pm if participating.

Core:  Students have five core periods each day: language arts, math, science, social studies, and a 5th Core of extended core, academic lab or ACC.

Electives:  Students have two elective periods each day. These grade level classes can 

include a combination of mandatory and student selected electives.  

Lunch:  There are a variety of options for hot and a la carte lunches. Visit CCSD Food and Nutrition to learn about the menu options.  Starting this year, all students will receive breakfast and lunch for free.  Students may also bring a lunch from home. There is time during this period for the students to go outside, visit the media center, or socialize in the cafeteria.

Cornerstones:  At Sky Vista, we strive to create a culture of connectedness, establish meaningful relationships, both academically and socially, as well as promote growth through an intentional focus on the whole child.  Our Cornerstones (Respect, Safety, Honor, Excellence) are foundational concepts that we believe ensure positive, inclusive student interactions and growth.

Respect - Treat others as you would want to be treated.

Honor - Live up to being your best and seeing the best in others.

Safety - Keep our school community safe both mentally and physically.

Excellence - Do your personal best every day; Go above and beyond.

Students schedules will have an assigned Cornerstones teacher.  During this time students will practice our Cornerstones, engage in SEL lessons and team build with classmates.
