Dear Skyline Families,
Please allow me to extend a warm welcome to each and every one of you, both new and returning. At Skyline, we are committed to partnering with you to maximize your child’s educational success, as well as their social-emotional and physical development. As a staff, we strongly believe that open communication between home and school is the foundation upon which to build a successful school year.
This handbook provides a great deal of information for you about Skyline School. The policies and procedures included in this handbook have been established to ensure a safe and positive environment for all students.
As always, we are receptive to and appreciate your engagement and support. Education is a team responsibility, beginning with the family, extending to the school, and encompassing the entire community. Working together, we can help our students achieve their highest potential. Thank you for trusting us to help educate your children, preparing them with the skills needed for their future as students and contributing members of the world.
Sincerely,
Harlan Klein, Principal
The Skyline School Community is committed to making our school a safe and caring environment for all students. We will treat each other with respect and refuse to tolerate bullying of any kind.
Definition: Bullying is unfair and one-sided. Bullying behavior happens when someone keeps hurting, harassing, intimidating, threatening, or causing substantial emotional distress to a person. Cyberbullying is the use of electronic communication media (cell phones, text messages, instant messaging, social networks, etc.) to bully another student in the ways described above. Bullying and cyberbullying interfere with a student’s educational opportunities and can substantially disrupt the orderly operations of the school.
Bullying behaviors include the following:
- Hurting someone physically by hitting, kicking, tripping, or pushing
- Stealing or damaging another person’s things
- Ganging up on someone
- Teasing someone in a hurtful way
- Using put-downs (i.e., insulting or making fun of someone)
- Name calling
- Spreading rumors or untruths about someone
- Leaving someone out on purpose, or trying to get other kids not to play with someone
- Using any electronic communication device (texting, cell phones, social networks, etc.) to insult, threaten, or post untrue information or embarrassing photos about another student
Students at Skyline School will do the following things to prevent bullying:
- Treat everyone with respect and kindness
- Refuse to bully others
- Refuse to let others be bullied
- Refuse to watch, laugh, or join in when someone is being bullied
- Try to include everyone in play, especially those who are often left out
- Report bullying behavior to an adult
Teachers and staff at Skyline School will do the following things to prevent bullying and help children feel safe at school:
- Closely supervise students in all areas of the school and playground
- Watch for signs of bullying behavior and stop it when it happens
- Respond quickly and sensitively to bullying reports using the Four-A-Response Process (Affirm Feelings, Ask Questions, Assess Safety, and Act by coaching the child on what to do in the future)
- Look into all reported bullying incidents
- Assign consequences for bullying based on the school discipline code
- Assign immediate consequences for retaliation against students who report bullying
Consequences for Violation of the Anti-Bullying Policy
Bully behavior, including cyberbullying, will not be tolerated. If cyberbullying occurs outside of school hours, but the repercussions are brought to school and disrupt the school and/or interfere with a student’s emotional/social well being, consequences will be given. Depending on the severity and nature of the incident, Skyline School will take one or more of the following steps when bullying occurs:
• Intervention, Warning, and Redirection
A teacher, principal, or staff member will ensure that the immediate behavior stops and reinforce to the student who is doing the bullying that bullying will not be tolerated. During this meeting with the student, the staff member will redirect the student and come up with a plan for success should they find themselves in a similar situation in the future.
• Notification of Parents
School staff will notify the parents of involved students. The parents might be asked to meet with the principal or other members of the school staff, including the student’s teacher and/or the school guidance counselor.
• Resolution with the Target of the Bullying
The student who is bullying may be required to write a letter of apology to the student who was bullied. Depending upon the nature of the incident, the students involved may meet to help resolve the problem and ensure it does not happen again.
• Referral to School Support Staff
The student who is bullying may meet with the school guidance counselor to help prevent future violations.
• Consequences
The student who is bullying may receive a blue ticket, serving one or more days of afterschool detention or lose school privileges (i.e., serving on student council, school newspaper, yearbook, etc).
• Suspension
In cases of severe or repeated bullying, the student will be suspended.Studies show that there is a direct correlation between good school attendance and student achievement. Therefore, we encourage parents to reinforce the importance of good school attendance and to make every effort to send your child to school on time and on a regular basis.
School Attendance Review Board (SARB)Attendance and tardies are monitored closely throughout the school year, per California Education Code. Truancy letters are sent out to students each time they receive three unexcused absences or three tardies over 30 minutes. After nine unexcused absences or tardies, a referral may be made to the District Office, to determine the need for a referral to the county Student Attendance Review Board (SARB). SARB is composed of educators and county officials who will review the student's attendance history, interview the parents and student, and make various recommendations to which the parents and student must adhere. If these recommendations are not followed and the student continues to accrue unexcused absences and tardies, SARB can turn the case over to the district attorney's office for legal action.
Absences
When your child is absent due to illness or for a doctor or dental appointment, please call the Absence Line at (858) 794-3651. The law requires that the exact nature of an illness be stated; this type of absence is defined as an excused absence.
Arriving late and leaving early
If your child will be late, or needs to leave before the end of the school day, a parent or guardian must sign the child in/out at the office. The office will send for the child.
Checking In and Out
Students must be checked in and out through the school office when coming in late or leaving early. Students may ONLY be released to those persons designated on their emergency cards. We are unable to make any exceptions. Parents must insure they have listed the names of any individual who may pick up their child in the Contact section on the Parent Portal. If someone listed in the contact section is going to pick up your student early, you must call the school office to let them know they will be picked up.
Prompt Afterschool Pickup
Staff supervision ends at 3:20 p.m. Students not picked up by 3:30 p.m. will be directed to the Child Development Center (CDC) and may be charged a fee.
Medical Appointments
We urge parents to schedule medical and dental appointments so they do not conflict with class time. However, if you are picking your child up for an appointment during the school day, you must come to the office to sign them out (and back in when they return). We will call the classroom to have your child come to the office when you arrive at the office.
Please click on this link, https://www.sbsd.k12.ca.us/Page/9008, to view the district's policies on absences and tardies.
Back to School Night is held on Wednesday, September 5, 2019, from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. This is an opportunity for teachers to present the curriculum, policies, and procedures for the year. It is also an opportunity for parents to sign up for a variety of volunteer opportunities. This is a night for parents only. Staff will present general information, not specific student progress.
Bikes, Scooters and Skateboards
We strongly encourage parents to determine whether their children are competent riders before they are permitted to ride to school unaccompanied, regardless of age.
Wear a helmet if you bike, skateboard, or scooter to school. Park and lock your equipment in the bicycle racks located outside the office area.- Bikes must be walked on school grounds and in crosswalks.
- Bikes must be parked in the bike racks and should have a lock
- All cyclists under 18 are required by California law to wear protective helmets
- Skateboarders must walk on school grounds and in crosswalks
- Skateboards may be kept in the classroom and/or office with permission
Birthday Celebrations
Each child will be celebrated in their classroom, by their teacher and classmates. It might look slightly different in each classroom or grade, but each child will get their Special Day! While we appreciate the joy and excitement that accompanies our students’ birthdays, we ask that no food, treats, or goodies be brought to school.
A more lasting gesture would be a donation to our school library/media center. Our library staff has excellent books to choose from in a special Birthday Book Club Bin. See your teacher or the Library staff for the Book Club Form. Your child then chooses a book from the bin and special dedication card will be placed in the book. The book will be shared with your student’s class during their library time. After that, the book will be placed in the school library as a continuing memory of your child’s special day.
Cell Phones/Student SmartwatchesMobile devices can be a source of major distraction for students and adults alike. At school, it’s best if they are “away for the day.” With more and more students coming to school with cell phones, you must be aware of the following:
- The school cannot assume any responsibility for any loss or damage to a cell phone.
- Cell phones may not be used during school hours. They must be turned off (not on silent or vibrate mode) as soon as students walk through the gates and on to the campus, and may not be turned back on until students walk out of the gates to leave the school campus.
- Cell phones must be kept in the student’s backpack at all times during the school day.
- If students need to call a parent during school hours, they may ask to use a school phone. The school phone should not be used to schedule after-school play dates.
- Cell phones confiscated for failure to adhere to these rules will be turned in to the principal and will be returned to the student’s parents/gaurdians only.
- Mobile communication devices shall be turned off during instructional time (i.e. upon entering the campus and until exiting the gate). Smartwatches may be worn and shall be turned off or placed in “School Mode” such as “Airplane” or “Do Not Disturb” during the instructional day. When used in an unauthorized manner, the device may be confiscated and/or searched according to law and policy, and the student may be subject to discipline. Please help by not calling or texting your child during the school day. If you need to get a message to your child, please call the Skyline office. For more detailed information regarding the use of devices, please reference Board Policy 5131 Conduct.
The Solana Beach School District Child Development Center (CDC) offers a School-Age Program. In order for children to participate in the CDC School-Age Program, they must be registered with CDC. The CDC hours at Skyline are 7:00 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. AM care is on an “as-needed basis,” and the after school care offers full-time, part-time and drop-in schedule options.
When we assign students to classes for the next school year, we endeavor to meet the needs of the individual child and develop classes whose balance and dynamics contribute to a positive learning environment.
To achieve well-balanced classes, we consider academic ability; to help maintain positive class dynamics, we consider which pupils should and should not be placed together.
"Sending" and "Receiving" teachers will consider the benefits of possible assignments to each student, as well as the contributions each student and various groupings of students can bring to the dynamics and balance of each class.Communication
Our commitment is that we will regularly and thoroughly communicate with parents. This communication will be accomplished through a variety of methods and formally scheduled activities throughout the year.
- Back to School Night Back to School Night is held on Wednesday, September 5, 2019, from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. This is an opportunity for teachers to present the curriculum, policies, and procedures for the year. It is also an opportunity for parents to sign up for a variety of volunteer opportunities. This is a night for parents only. Staff will present general information, not specific student progress.
- Progress Reports Three times per year, report cards are issued for all students in grades K-6.
- Parent/Teacher Conferences Conferences are scheduled two times per year, once in the fall during the week of November 18 – 22, 2019, and once in the spring during the week of March 9-13, 2020.
- Open House Open House is scheduled for Thursday, May 28, from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m., and is a showcase of student progress. This event is an acknowledgement of the commendable efforts our students make throughout the year. Family and friends are invited to experience this popular event with their student.
- Skyline Website Skyline's website at (https://www.sbsd.k12.ca.us/Domain/8) offers a plethora of information about our school program, staff, and events. Be sure to check it regularly!
- Weekly Communication Skyline sends out a weekly email/newsletter on Sunday mornings that contains the Principal Message, important upcoming dates/events at Skyline or within the district, as well as community flyers and announcements. Parents have the opportunity to sign up to receive this weekly email by signing up for the email notification system. If this is your first year at Skyline, you will need to sign up on Skyline’s email notification system.
- Weekly Folders In an effort to ensure that materials reach home, each student has an envelope or folder that parents should expect to be brought home during the week throughout the school year. The specific day will be dependent upon the specific teacher and/or grade level. The conduit might contain both class/school communication and schoolwork/homework. We hope that you will allow time to review the information with your child and return the envelope or folder to school on Friday.
Students in grades 3-6 may enter the front gate next to the office when the 8:20 a.m. bell rings. At that time, they may proceed up to the blacktop area to line up with class peers. Morning supervisors will monitor from 8:20 a.m. to 8:40 a.m. When the bell rings, their teacher will escort them to their classroom. Students in grades K-2 will enter the front gates next to the office when the 8:20 a.m. bell rings and proceed to their classroom.
Minimum Days
All students begin at 8:40 a.m. and finish at 12:17 p.m.
Regular Schedule
Students begin at 8:40 a.m. and finish at 3:00 p.m. (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday)

At Skyline School, it is our priority to maintain a positive environment for all students, staff members, and families. All members of the school community are expected to demonstrate kindness, courtesy, and respect to themselves and others, to be responsible for their actions, words, and belongings, and to ensure safety at all times. These expectations are built on the following three principles:
- Take care of yourself
- Take care of each other
- Take care of our school
When students choose to not follow Skyline’s behavioral expectations, conversations and/or consequences will result. We strive to help students to change inappropriate behaviors and help them understand how to handle situations differently in the future. Positive behavioral interventions may be implemented and could include: walking the track, writing a reflection and/or letter of apology, campus community service, speaking with the school guidance counselor, loss of privileges, time away from peers and/or the classroom, or a chat with the principal, including a student call to the parent/guardian. These positive consequences will promote smooth student interactions, and enhance the harmonious environment that makes Skyline such a special place in the Solana Beach community.
All staff members have a responsibility for assisting in explaining and implementing school expectations. Students may be redirected by any staff member on campus.
As a general rule, more serious consequences are used only when other positive behavioral interventions have failed to bring about a change in behavior. More serious incidents or persistent problems may result in parents being invited to a conference at school, creation of behavior plan for the student, or in very serious cases, in-school or off- campus suspension.
To support student safety, Skyline will be enforcing a No Dogs on Campus policy unless they have been certified service dogs.
The Governing Board believes that appropriate dress and grooming contribute to a productive learning environment. The Board expects students to wear clothing that is suitable for the school activities in which they participate. Students' clothing must not present a health or safety hazard or cause a substantial disruption to the educational program.
District and school rules pertaining to student attire shall be included in student handbooks, may be posted in school offices and classrooms, and may periodically be reviewed with all students as necessary.
Students shall not be prohibited from dressing in a manner consistent with their gender identity or gender expression or with their religious or cultural observances.
In addition, the dress code shall not discriminate against students based on hair texture and protective hairstyles, including, but not limited to, braids, locks, and twists. (Education Code 212.1)
The responsibility for the dress and grooming of a student rests primarily with the student and their parent(s)/guardian(s). The principal or designee is authorized to enforce this policy and shall inform parent(s)/guardian(s) regarding a student who does not reasonably conform to the dress code. The dress code shall not be enforced in a manner that discriminates against a particular viewpoint or results in a disproportionate application of the dress code based on students’ gender, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, household income, or body type or size. When practical, students shall not be directed to correct a dress code violation during instructional time or in front of other students.
School administrators, teachers, and other staff shall be notified of appropriate and equitable enforcement of the dress code.
Repeated violations or refusal to comply with the District’s dress code may result in disciplinary action.
(cf. 4119.22 - Dress and Grooming)
(cf. 5145.2 - Freedom of Speech/Expression)
In cooperation with teachers, students and parents/guardians, the principal or designee shall establish school rules governing student dress and grooming which are consistent with law, Governing Board policy and administrative regulations. These school dress codes shall be regularly reviewed.
(cf. 0420 - School Plans/Site Councils)
The following guidelines shall apply to all regular school activities:
1. Clothing, jewelry, and personal items (backpacks, fanny packs, gym bags, water bottles etc.) shall be free of writing, pictures, or any other insignia which are crude, vulgar, profane, or sexually suggestive, or which promotes the use of drugs, alcohol or tobacco or other illegal activity.
2. Appropriate shoes must be worn at all times. Sport or tennis shoes are most appropriate for running and playing during recess and PE. All shoes must have closed toes and a back strap.
3. Clothes shall be sufficient to conceal undergarments. See-through clothing and bare abdomens are prohibited.
(cf. 3260 - Fees and Charges)
(cf. 5121 - Grades/Evaluation of Student Achievement)
The dress code shall be modified as appropriate to accommodate a student’s religious or cultural observance, health condition, or other circumstance deemed necessary by the principal or designee. In addition, the principal or designee may impose dress requirements to accommodate the needs of special school activities, physical education classes, athletic activities, and other extracurricular activities and cocurricular activities.
No grade of a student participating in a physical education class shall be adversely affected if the student does not wear standardized physical education apparel because of circumstances beyond the student’s control. (Education Code 49066)
Students shall be allowed to wear sun-protective clothing, including but not limited to hats, for outdoor use during the school day. (Education Code 35183.5)

Further Information:

Teach your children to avoid sharing hats, combs and barrettes.Rational
The purpose of homework is to strengthen academic skills, reinforce concepts taught by teachers, develop student responsibility and accountability, and promote parent awareness. Positive results of homework include better retention of factual knowledge, increased understanding of material, improve critical thinking, concept formation and information processing skills, as well as enrichment of the core curriculum. Our goal is to create assignments that promote one or more of these outcomes. We recognize that homework is not the only circumstance under which after-school learning takes place. Many leisure-time activities teach important academic and life skills. We believe in the importance of balancing leisure, learning and family time.
Amount of Homework
The amount of homework assigned shall be related to the maturity and ability level of the students in a given class. The following chart suggests these homework schedules as guides for students. These schedules can be used as guidelines for parents and teachers in monitoring student time devoted to homework.
Grades K-2 10 – 30 minutes up to 4 days per week
Grades 4-6 30 – 60 minutes up to 4 days per week
Be advised that students on occasion may spend more than one hour and/or more than four days a week completing schoolwork, as time at home may be spent doing assigned homework, long-term projects, and completing unfinished classroom assignments. Students have varying abilities to use class time efficiently, and the amount of time spent on homework varies from one child to another.
Student’s Responsibility
It is the responsibility of the student to record and understand the homework assignment, complete it, and return it to school on the required day.
Parent’s Responsibility
It is the responsibility of the parent to set a specific time and place for doing homework and to monitor the student’s homework. Parents who have concerns about homework should contact their child’s teacher. Parents should provide guidance to students, not answers.
Homework Requests
Requests for homework should be called in on the Absence Line (858-794-4751) before 10:00 a.m., and can be picked up between 3:00 and 4:00 p.m. that day.Skyline offers meal services for our students. Lunch is Free and it includes milk or apple juice. Adult lunches are $5.75.
Each year school children have an average of five to seven common infections such as colds and intestinal upset. For the protection of your child and his/her classmates, please keep your child at home when ill. Please notify the school when your child is ill. The following symptoms may mean that an illness is contagious:
- Fever, diarrhea, vomiting within the last 24 hours. Children need to be symptom-free for 24 hours before returning to school.
- Thick mucous or pus draining from eyes.
- Sore throat, especially if combined with fever or swollen neck glands.
- Rashes with fever or rashes of unknown origin.
- Upper respiratory infection and/or severe cold, especially if accompanied with green or yellow nasal discharge and/or ear pain. A cough spreads germs, and a cough that keeps a child up at night means they will be too tired to learn the next day.
- Stiff neck.
- Unusual fatigue, paleness, loss of appetite, confusion and irritability.
The California School Immunization law requires that all children entering school receive proper immunizations to protect them from serious illness and to prevent the spread of communicable diseases: polio, measles, rubella, mumps, hepatitis B, varicella (chickenpox), diphtheria, tetanus, haemophilus influenzae, Type b (Hib meningitis), and whooping cough.
If your child needs to leave before the end of the school day, a parent or guardian must sign the child out at the office. The office will send for the child.
The library/media center program aims to prepare students to become literate, life-long learners and trains them to be effective users of information. Skyline is pleased to have a state-of-the-art library/media center that is run by our Curriculum Resource Teacher, Becky Gauthier.
Lost and found items are located upstairs next to the library/media center; small or valuable items will be kept in a drawer in the school office.
After a period of time, items are donated to charity, so please encourage your children to check the lost and found boxes periodically, and label all personal belongings.
Solana Beach School District does not provide medical insurance coverage for school accidents. This means that you are responsible for the medical bills if your child gets hurt during school activities.
The following student accident/health insurance plans are offered to help you pay those bills:- Student Health Care Plan
- Interscholastic Tackle Football Accident Plans
- Full-Time (24 Hour) Accident Plans
- School Time Accident Plans
- Dental Accident Plan
- Pharmacy Smartcard

- A Physician’s Statement form must be completed and signed by you and your doctor, stating the name of the medicine, dosage, time to be given, etc.
- Medication must be brought to the health office by an adult in the original prescription bottle or over-the-counter packaging. Students are not permitted to carry medicine while at school.
- Medication will be kept in the health office in a safe place. While we will take every precaution possible, we cannot accept responsibility for loss or for the administration of the medication.
- Children should report to the office to take their medication at the appropriate time..
The Skyline Parent Teacher Association is an association of parents and teachers dedicated to supporting the children and community of Skyline School. To reach these goals, Skyline PTA members volunteer many hours and raise funds to support classrooms, encourage communication, and develop community spirit.
Students may not use toys, including spinners, cell phones, or other personal electronic equipment during school hours unless they have approval from the teacher. If they have approval, the item may only be used within the classroom. Students may only bring personal balls (i.e., football, basketball) to school if they are going to donate the ball to the school. If students need to call a parent during school hours, they may use a school phone. The school phone should not be used to schedule after-school play dates. These dates should be arranged in advance.
School photos are taken in the early fall, with finished photos coming home in late October. Class photos will be taken. Individual photos are optional. You will be notified beforehand of the various options for the purchase of prints. You are not required to purchase photographs.
Solana Beach School District has adopted board policy and administrative regulation (BP/AR) 5145.7 containing rules and procedures for reporting sexual harassment. “The Board prohibits sexual harassment of students by other students, employees or other persons, at school or at school-sponsored or school-related activities. Prohibited sexual harassment includes, but is not limited to, unwelcome sexual advances, unwanted requests for sexual favors or other unwanted verbal, visual or physical conduct of sexual nature made against another person of the same or opposite gender, in the education setting.
In the 1970's, the State of California passed a law that set up the School Improvement Program (SIP), which enabled schools to receive supplemental funding from the state. The new law also required that schools establish School Site Councils (SSC) in order to receive and spend the extra funding provided by SIP.
Skyline’s School Site Council is made up of 12 members - six parents, five teachers/staff, and the principal.Since Solana Beach School District no longer receives SIP funds, the Site Council helps to develop the School Site Strategic Plan, including setting school goals and assessing program effectiveness.
Meetings are held four times a year (September, October, March, May), on Wednesdays, starting at 3:15 p.m. The agenda is posted in the office window 72 hours prior to the meeting. All meetings are open to the public.

An information meeting regarding the Global Education Program will be held in late January 2019. If you have questions, please contact the school office (858) 794-3600.
Surveillance Cameras
The Board of Education believes that reasonable use of surveillance cameras will help the District support its goals for campus security. Cameras are not placed in areas where students, staff, or community members have a reasonable expectation for privacy. The District’s audio capability on the surveillance equipment is disabled so sounds are not recorded.
Skyline School and the Solana Beach School District is a tobacco-free site. Use of all tobacco products shall be prohibited within any district building, facility, or vehicle. In addition, the use of all tobacco products is prohibited on school grounds or premises. This prohibition shall also apply to all individuals attending or representing the school district at school-sponsored activities held off district property.
Skyline parents are always welcome at Skyline. All visitors must sign in at the office and wear a visitor's nametag.
Skyline has a strong tradition of parent involvement. Under the teacher’s direction, parents work with children individually or in small groups, giving students immediate feedback on their work and helping them through problems. Volunteers provide additional support for classroom learning activities. Others can help out on field trips, by sharing special talents or helping to prepare materials at school.
Prior to Volunteering
To ensure the safety of students, staff members, and fellow volunteers, please complete the “Volunteer Code of Conduct” in the Parent Portal, and register in the Raptor Volunteer System.

• Sign in at the Front Desk, and
• Wear the appropriate “Volunteer Raptor ID Badge.”It is important that students and staff know that you belong on campus. In the event of an emergency, it is extremely important that the administration can account for everyone on campus. Additionally, volunteers who have signed in are covered by our liability insurance policy.Please Note: If you are going to chaperone students on an overnight field trip, you will also need to provide the district with a copy of your fingerprint report.
Because volunteers are such an integral part of Skyline, it is important to keep our standards high. It is important for all volunteers to remember the following:

- Respect confidentiality. Students and staff have a right to privacy.
- Be professional.
- Communicate.
- When things come up and you can’t fulfill a promise, let someone know.
- Ask for help -- don’t suffer in silence!
- Share your experience with others and encourage new volunteers. Commitment - Once you become a volunteer, others depend on you.
- Try to pick what is manageable and interesting to you.
- Be prepared. Communicate with teachers and other staff members ahead of time.
- Be on time. If you can’t make it, let someone know.
We so appreciate all that you do for Skyline Elementary School.
