Spirit Day!:
- Wednesday, September 18 from 3:30 to 5:30 pm! Join Selwyn families for an afternoon of games, food, entertainment and more! Beaver Tails food truck will be on site and will be selling their delicious pastries for $6. In support of Westmount Park Elementary School, we will be collecting school supplies as a donation at the entrance to the Spirit Day activities. Spirit Day tickets will be available at the tables located under the arches to the Guzzo Family Playground. Click here for a glimpse at the program. Parents interested in volunteering can contact Maureen Powers at powersm@selwyn.ca.
- Dress for Spirit Day ~ All boys may wear their phys.ed. uniform with their house t-shirts to school on Wednesday, September 18.
- Dismissal for Spirit Day ~ All boys, Kindergarten through grade 6, will be dismissed to their parents before they can re-enter the school grounds with their parents to celebrate Spirit Day. To facilitate dismissal we ask parents to remain on the sidewalk. Grade 3-6 will be dismissed through the front door. K-2 will be dismissed from the Old Boys’ (East) Yard. Spirit Day sign-in will be located under the arches to the Guzzo Family (West) Yard.
A MUST read for Parent Information Evening: To promote our online initiatives, please note that again this year, the schedule and all Parent Information Evening course outlines will be available only online. The QR code will be included in next week’s update to access the course packages for your son’s grade. Please take a moment to read (and print if you wish). Paper copies will not be handed-out.
Lunch Menus: Lunch menus are posted on the web under Calendar > Lunch Menus.
No Breakfast Served: Due to an early morning senior school function, breakfast will NOT be served on Wednesday, September 18.
An invitation from the Headmaster....we are all in this together.
Online Student Directory: The student directory is available online through OnCampus (www.selwyn.ca/oncampus) under the Resource tab. If you don't remember your OnCampus username and password, from the login page press Forgot your login? directly below where you would normally type your username and password to request your username and/or reset your password. The directory is for the sole use of parents of current Selwyn House School students and are not to be reproduced or distributed.
Fall Gryphon Sale Tally: A huge thank you to all of you who donated so much, literally the amount of donations we received this year was off the charts! Thanks to your generosity and to all of you who joined us at the sale, we successfully raised $5705.00. What a great way to start off the school year by helping contribute so much to the Nancy Pitfield Endowment fund and by ensuring that very good uniform items were recycled into new homes. We’ll see you at the next Gryphon Sale on January 22, 2020. Until then please drop off any gently used uniform articles you may have with Kim at the front desk.
Geordie Theatre will host a fundraiser screening of the documentary film "I Am Eleven". For more information go to our Community Engagement Page.
Library Volunteers Needed: Please go to our Community Engagement Page for more information.
