PTA Mission in a Nutshell:  

Our mission is to make every child’s potential a reality by engaging and empowering families and communities to advocate for all children. 

Meetings

PTA Meetings are held the second Wednesday of every month at 4 p.m.  Meetings will be held in the Skyway Elementary Library and virtually.

#clearthelist has come to Skyway Elementary! Teachers have created wishlists on Amazon with items they need to be more effective for our students. When you make a purchase of an item it will be delivered directly to them. See the school wide list at https://skywaynestpta.square.site/teacher-wishlists. Let's clear the list for our teachers!
