Weekly Update - Jan. 10, 2020
Dear Selby Families,
Happy 2020! I hope each one of you enjoyed a wonderful winter break with those you love. This week we dove back into our work and continue to be focused on student achievement and wellness for the next 6 months together.
A huge thank-you on behalf of Mrs.Gallagher and I for the many well-wishes, cards and gifts we received from many of you before the holidays. They were so thoughtful and generous.
I would like to share our School Learning Plan goals - these will continue to evolve over time as we learn more about our students and how they are progressing. Please have a look at our 'One-Page' plan attached below.
Have a wonderful weekend,
K. Witley
Principal

Absence Reporting on Inclement Weather Days
In past years when school buses have been cancelled due to inclement weather, parents/guardians of bused students were not required to report their absence. Only parents/guardians of walkers who chose not to come to school were to report absences.
NEW FOR 2019-2020: All parents/guardians are asked to report their student’s absence regardless of the reason, including when there are bus cancellations. Often, bused students find alternative ways to school and we want to ensure we know a student’s whereabouts to ensure their safety and well-being. Knowing who is supposed to be at school will allow school office staff to best ensure all students are accounted for. Students will report to their classroom teacher for attendance at 9:20 am as they would normally do on a regular school day. This allows school office staff to quickly determine who isn’t at school and launch SafeArrival calls to a student’s designated contacts. We appreciate your support and understanding as we work to enhance practices that ensure student safety.
