May 3 Update
May 2022 Exams are underway (through May 20)
IB exams are now underway at Skyline HS. It is important that students check the exam schedule (online or posted at school) and arrive 15 minutes before their exam begins so we can stay on schedule.
Students are pre-excused from school for the whole day that they are scheduled for an exam. If a student chooses to attend classes please make sure to let the Attendance Office know which periods they will attend.
This can be a stressful time for students. Please encourage them to maintain balance in their life - sleep, nutrition and fun are as important as studying.
