All items pertain to all families, please make sure to review forms to make sure you have the most current information on file for your family.
Annual Forms – mandatory annual submission
All families must complete the SKS Annual Forms prior to August 20th. All forms are used for emergency contact information and waivers signatures. These forms are separate from the health and dental forms completed by the pediatrician and dentist, which can be found on our Health Office page. Information from our school nurse is available here. Thank you in advance for completing these prior to the school year.
Stationery Fee Price List 2023-2024
Click here for stationery purchased through school for grades 1- 8. Kindergarten is billed separately through the classroom in September. All other school supplies purchased by parents are found in the Summer Reading and Math packets for each grade level.
Chromebook Rental Form
Grades 4 through 8 are eligible for the Bring Your Device program. SKS owned Chromebooks are available for students who prefer to use them rather than bringing in a family device, they can be signed out if you click here. The Chromebooks will be issued to students at the opening of school and will be returned to SKS at the end of each school year.
Busing
All student and family information is submitted to your school districts in June so you can be assigned busing for the upcoming school year. Please check information for your district below to see what paperwork they require from you each year. These forms must be completed annually, even if your family used the busing in the past. You will be contacted by your school district at the end of August with your bus schedules if you choose to use their transportation.
In the event of an address change over the summer, please contact me immediately so I can switch your busing assignment.
