Programs
The Skyline PTSA provides an SAT preparatory course for students
at Skyline through SAT Prep, Inc., as well as a mock SAT test
and mock ACT test for practice for our students.
Skyline PTSA annually grants money to staff members after applications
are reviewed by a committee that includes PTSA members and the
Skyline Principal.
Skyline PTSA works in conjunction with the Issaquah PTSA Council
to fund, advertise, and facilitate programs of interest to parents
in the community ranging from drug and alcohol awareness to
parenting the over-indulged child.
Skyline PTSA annually facilitates the National PTA Reflections
Program. A fine arts competition is held at Skyline and at PCFC
and entries are selected to move onto the Council level.
Skyline PTSA regularly communicates legislative action items
to its members.
The IB Parents’ Group provides information to parents of students
taking IB courses including those whose students are seeking
the IB diploma.
Donations made to the Skyline PTSA can be increased with corporate
matching fund programs. Please contact the Human Resources department
at your respective employer to find out if your company has
a matching fund program.
Skyline PTSA membership sends a strong message of unity in all
advocacy work taking place in the state and the district towards
graduation requirements and basic education funding. Members
receive email messages detailing our programs and advocacy activities
about twice a month, in addition to a student directory.
Skyline PTSA hosts a luncheon for the entire school staff at
the beginning of the school year, holds appreciation days about
five times a year, and coordinates Staff Appreciation Week in
May.
The committee works to connect with families new to the Skyline
community, as well as supply up-to-date school, community, and
PTSA information.
Sparty's List is a wish list of items needed by Skyline staff.
The posted list is updated on a regular basis. Parents or community
members can either donate a gently used item or purchase the
needed item. Partial donations are happily accepted as well.
The "Parents Who Host, Lose The Most: Don't be a party to teenage
drinking" public awareness campaign was developed by Drug-Free
Action Alliance in 2000 to educate parents about the health
and safety risks of serving alcohol at teen parties.
