New Principal Message

Dear Skyview Staff, Families, and Community,

I am humbled and honored to introduce myself as the new principal of Skyview Elementary! I am excited to join this wonderful school community and begin building strong relationships with students, families, and staff. Together, I know we will achieve great things.

With extensive experience in education—from classroom teacher to principal—I’ve had the privilege of working with students from kindergarten through 8th grade. For the past 5 years, I’ve served as the proud principal of Wallace Elementary. Before joining RISD, I served as an assistant principal, associate principal, and principal in Dallas ISD. I look forward to bringing these leadership experiences to Skyview as we collectively prioritize academic excellence, student growth, and meaningful community engagement.

My husband and I have called Dallas home for 23 years. We have two amazing children—our son, Tyler, who is studying engineering at Prairie View A&M University, and our daughter, Taylor, who will enter Lake Highlands High School as a proud freshman Wildcat.

I believe that student success is built through strong partnerships between school and family. My door is always open, and I’m committed to listening, learning, and leading with care.

I can’t wait to meet each of you. The 2025–2026 school year will be one to remember!

Warm regards,

Tonya M. Anderson
Principal
Skyview Elementary
