Dear SKCEE Families and Community Members,

This was a great week at SKCEE!  Thank you to all the volunteers that came to support the Tie Dye event!  We are excited to see students sport their new Tie Dye shirts each Friday.  Thank you to Mrs. “Cookie” Caskie for her hard work in organizing the event as well.  

I would also like to thank all the volunteers that made the SKCEE Fall Festival a success.  I would like to give a big shout to our amazing Parent Teacher Association for organizing the event.  I can confidently say a great time was had by all.   For everyone who is interested in supporting our SKCEE Learners, I strongly encourage you to join the Parent Teacher Association, and the Collaborative School Committee.  The Collaborative School Committee helps determine how school funding will be spent, and also advises the Principal on which academic goals to prioritize.  Thank you all for your continued support.  As always, if you have any questions or concerns the best way to contact me is through the Office Hours Link below.  Have a great weekend!

Best Regards,

Matt Johnson M.Ed.

Principal of SKCEE

COVID Presentation Update

We are excited that we were able to facilitate the SKCEE COVID overview presentation October 19, 2021.  It was an opportunity to share district guidance specific to COVID protocols for the 21-22 school year. For those of you who were unable to attend, please view the presentation at your convenience using the link below.  Thank you for your continued commitment to the SKCEE Community.

Fall Celebration

SKCEE staff would like to invite family members to attend our Fall Celebration outdoor parade! We will be hosting our Fall Celebration on Friday, October 29th. More information to come!

Auction Spots 

There are four parking spots in the front of the school that are auctioned off to families each year. These spots will be changed with your family’s name on it to reserve that spot for you. This means, even if you’re late, you will have a parking spot! You can bookmark the link here: https://www.32auctions.com/parkingspots2022. The auction will be live until midnight on Sunday, October 17th. All funds raised through this auction will be used by the SKCEE PTA to support our students and teachers. This includes meals for the teachers and admins, scooters for students, as well as many more needs! We will be working on so many other benefits for our teachers throughout this unique school year. We couldn’t support our school without all of you!

Tie Dye Days at SKCEE

We are so excited to tie dye as a school!  Here’s what you need to know:

  • Please send a white cotton tee shirt to your child’s teacher ahead of time.
