Summary

Dr. Boylan, Skybrook K8 principal, previewed the new Skybrook K8 school and its programs in a short presentation, saying the school "will welcome students to between kindergarten and 7th grade" in the 2526 school year and that 8th graders will be added in 2627.
The principal described the school's location and campus layout, saying the site is on the south side of 54 between Balentre Boulevard and Sun Lake Boulevard and that drivers coming from the Aldi and Panda Express should take Skybrook Boulevard to reach the school. She said bell times will be determined in the spring once enrollment is known.
Dr. Boylan outlined classroom and program plans. On the first floor she said the school will house kindergarten and first-grade classrooms, two VPK classrooms and five sensory behavior communication classrooms. She said the cafeteria will include a stage and space for the before- and after-school program called PLACE.
Academic pathway offerings mentioned include aerospace and robotics, computer science and medical skills; Dr. Boylan also said the school will offer the county's first 7th-grade athletic injury course. She said middle-grade students (6th through 8th) will be housed on the third floor with opportunities for science and coding and that sports will include volleyball, cheerleading, soccer, football, basketball and track and field.
"I will be seeking your input because it's important to me that we grow this school from the bottom to the top together," Dr. Boylan said, noting planning would begin in January. She described the school's vision as creating a safe space for learning while offering students voice and choice in their work.
