Students with special education needs are mainstreamed into the regular classroom population, according to their individual level of needs. Skelly Elementary places emphasis on the arts as an important part of each child's education. Art, music and physical education are offered as special subjects to all students. Training in the speech arts and drama is incorporated into music classes and Skelly students are encouraged to participate in the District Speech Festival each year. The creative art of writing is also encouraged, with teachers setting aside time each day for writing activities.
Students regularly travel to different classrooms to read books they have written.
The Skelly library recently underwent a complete renovation, incorporating a number of computer workstations to make technology available to students. There is at least one computer per classroom for students to use as well. An active PTA unit has provided an outdoor food court, cafeteria tables and playground blacktop for Skelly over the years. The greatest asset of Skelly Elementary School lies in the teaching cadre of talented individuals who plan and team together and who are encouraged to try new teaching techniques and methods.
