Intergenerational Tea: On Tuesday, May 25, our friends from Contactivity Centre joined Selwyn House students and staff for a virtual tea to celebrate National Intergenerational Day. It also marked the end of a year of great projects that brought students and seniors together (virtually) to connect and socialize in these unprecedented times. Highlights of the event can be found in this video.
Gryphon Sale News: The next Gryphon Sale will take place on Monday, August 16, 2021 from 7:00 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Rossy Agora.Donations can currently be dropped off anytime in the bins located just inside the front doors of the school and are always very much appreciated.
2021-22 Educational Services Contract and Emergency Contact & Medical Update forms:
Each year, parents are required to complete an Educational Services Contract which is legally required by the Quebec Ministry of Education. This contract confirms your son’s enrollment in the school, allows you to verify the information we have on file, and lets you choose your payment method for the 2021-2022 academic year. The online contract is accessible through OnCampus, and we ask that BOTH parents/ guardians login separately to complete it.
You will also find the Emergency Contact Form and Medical Update Form in OnCampus once you login. Only one parent/guardian is required to review and submit each form. Please email Ms. Kelli Poulin poulink@selwyn.ca if you have any questions.
