New Additions
You may have heard about some changes at Selkirk, especially in the area of welcoming new staff to our team.
We are excited to welcome our new Assistant Principal, Jen Hurst!
Jen has been a successful educator in Central Valley for a number of years and a longtime member of our community. She taught at Greenacres Elementary, Chester, and Liberty Lake and served last year as the dean at North Pines. Jen is also Director for the Active4Youth Cross Country program. Her enthusiasm for students and connection to our community will be of great benefit to Selkirk.
We look forward to a great year as Mrs. Hurst joins the Wolf Pack!
Student Schedules for 2022-2023
PE Uniforms
Note: "In-Touch" is the process to pay for the t-shirt. Your student will be able to say which size and pick up the t-shirt from their PE teacher (during the first full week of school.) If you prefer to stop into the office to pay for a shirt, you can. It will still be delivered to the student during class.
