Selby Public School
October 2018 Newsletter
One Month In!
"Empowering all Selby P.S. students to embrace challenges, while making a difference and striving to be their best self."
Our recent PA Day focused on school improvement, creating a "mentally healthy" school, and analyzing our data to set goals for this year and beyond. Our EQAO results have now been released, and can be accessed in detail at www.eqao.com by choosing "Parents", and then "Results".
Our experiment with switching the order of nutrition breaks and recess has been a success. We will continue to monitor results as we move forward, before making this a permanent change.
Reminder, our school calendar will be regularly updated, and can be found at our brand new website, https://selbyps.limestone.on.ca/. The Limestone District School Board app is another way to receive news updates pertaining to both our school and the Board as a whole. It is available for iOS in the Apple app store, or for Android in the Google Play store.
Have a wonderful month,
Sincerely,
Aaron West

JOIN PARENT COUNCIL FOR 2018/2019
Chair: Norah Brien
Treasurer: Corinna Geenavasen
Secretary: n/a
As you can see, we are still looking for someone to fill the position of secretary, which involves taking minutes during meetings, preparing them for distribution, and sharing with the Council after each meeting. Please let us know if you would be interested in filling this position.
Babysitting is provided at meetings. While the Council very much needs members who can volunteer at events and help out with fund-raising, anyone is welcome to attend meetings, even if it's just to listen or provide your ideas & opinions. We hope to see you soon!
Pick-Up & Drop Off Requests
When dropping students off in the morning, we do not have supervision until 9:15 am - please do not drop students off prior to this time.
In our parking lot, please avoid parking in the middle of the circle at the far end. This is where our bus drivers turn around, and they need this space to do so safely.
Thank you for your continued consideration.
