Skyway Elementary is located in the shadows of Cheyenne Mountain, in the southwest part of Colorado Springs, Colorado. Cheyenne Mountain is home to NORAD and the world-famous Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. The historic Broadmoor Hotel is also nearby.
Our Mission:
To provide a school community, and foster an environment, in which everyone is safe, happy, and challenged to learn and grow to the best of their potential; where foundations of academic, emotional, social, and physical preparation are laid to face tomorrow's challenges; where respect and integrity are fundamental. Above all, Skyway embraces a leading educational experience where learning is a shared passion.
Skyway is a LEADER IN ME school. We work to instill the 7 Habits of Happy Kids in all of our staff & students. These 7 habits are:
1) Be proactive - I am in charge. I am responsible for myself.
2) Begin with the end in mind - I have a plan. I respect myself and set goals for myself.
3) Put first things first - I work first, then play. I know my responsibilities and prioritize them.
4) Think win-win - I believe we all can win. I care about others. When resolving conflicts, I seek solutions that make everyone feel good.
5) Seek first to understand, then to be understood - I will listen to others before I talk. I use my manners to help me understand others’ points of view.
6) Synergize - I know that together is better. Teamwork allows us to create better ideas.
7) Sharpen the saw - I take care of myself. I am kind and caring. I make a point to spend time with the people I care about.
