Welcome to Selkirk!
SMS Teachers Preparing Authentic Learning Opportunities
Beginning Wednesday, March 25, Selkirk teachers will begin posting academic engagement opportunities via Google classrooms. Google Classroom can be accessed from computers, laptops, phones, Chromebooks, and other web accessing devices.
Most students are already part of Google classrooms connected to their current classes. They log in with their username studentID@cvsd356.org and 8 digit birthdate. Your student is not required to take part in the activities offered, but we do hope we get a high level of engagement. These activities are truly academic opportunities. They have no bearing on a student’s grade but will provide the opportunity to engage in learning activities.
Our students are very familiar with Google Classroom, and if you are interested in a quick overview, check out the Parents’ Guide to Google Classroom.

A Note from Selkirk PTO
Hopefully this note finds you well! Thought we’d touch base and provide a few updates…
- Movie night – We’re hoping to reschedule but will have an update after we’re back to school in April.
- Raffle Fundraiser – We have decided to postpone the raffle fundraiser. Anyone who purchased tickets will get a refund, and we are in the process of getting in touch with those who have donated prizes.
- 2020/2021 PTO Nominations – If you or someone you know is interested in joining the board, nomination forms are available at www.selkirkpto.square.site.
- 2020/2021 PTO Membership forms – Please consider joining the PTO or renewing your membership! Our goals are to encourage interaction between family and school, serve as a source of support, and work with teachers, staff, and the community to improve our children’s educational experience. Membership forms are available at www.selkirkpto.square.site.
- Buy a Brick, Pave the Path Fundraiser – Our second round of brick engraving will be this spring, hoping to make the deadline sometime the end of April/beginning of May. We have 7 brick orders that didn’t make it in before our 1st deadline so those will be engraved with our 2nd round. If you haven’t yet purchased one, now is your chance! As soon as we have at least 15 orders, the engraver will put us on his schedule. You can find a brick order form at www.selkirkpto.square.site.
If you have any questions, or suggestions, please let us know!
Thank you,
The Selkirk PTO Board
