You should be able to use the following syntax, assuming you're on SQL server 2008:

INSERT INTO StudentSkill (StudentID, SkillID)
VALUES (100, 1), (100, 2), (100, 3)

This method gleaned from here, which also contains a couple of alternative methods.

You'll just need to iterate over the list of IDs in FORM.skillid (assuming that's how your form works) to build up the SQL above. Also, make sure you use on the values when you build up the SQL. Something like the code below ought to do:

  
   INSERT INTO StudentSkill (StudentID, SkillID)
    VALUES
   
     (, 
       )
