Remember, during inclement weather, if Skyline (Hickory County R-1) cancels school, all activities for that day and evening are also cancelled. On the weekends the trustees will come to a consensus about cancelling church and will announce any decisions through the Call-Em-All, on Facebook and on the website. If you aren't on the Call-Em-All see Beverly. It is a great way to hear important information and prayer requests.
