The information gathered by this date will be used to create the Student Directory. It is extremely important that this information is accurate. It is your responsibility to email the school any changes to your contact information, now and throughout the school year.

Student Absences or Lateness: Please notify the School by 8:00 a.m. (Ms. Manal, ext 2235 or manalm@selwyn.ca), should your son miss morning attendance for any reason. If a student must arrive after the start of classes, Grades 1 through 6 students should use the Lucas front door and proceed to check in with Ms. Manal.
Don’t forget supply lists: The 2020-21 reading and school supply lists are available on our website.
Covid-19 Organizational Kit Idea: Each classroom has sanitizer and wipes for the boys supplied by the school. If you would like to send your son in with his own supply, here is a simple way to keep your son’s masks, wipes and sanitizer organized. Thanks to Ms. Dubrovsky for the idea.
