Howling Herald

Hello Wolf Pack,

Thank you to Ridgeline High School for hosting our Selkirk versus Greenacres Middle School basketball games. It was great to see so many families, former teachers, & friends from both schools get to compete together in that amazing facility. Our boys closed out their season on Wednesday and we shifted to girls' basketball today. It's not too late to join!

Don't forget, there is no school on Monday as we celebrate Presidents' Day.

A Future Falcon Night is in the works...details for our current 8th graders will be coming home soon.

Conferences are Here

At Selkirk we are trying something new for spring conferences. The conference format is different from last year. We are emphasizing student ownership of learning which means you'll be accompanying your student as they share some of their learning. Teachers will be available for informal conversations both in classrooms and in areas where projects are displayed, similar to how we've done arena in the past.

Please take a look at the attachment for the conference format.
