Selby Public School
Week Ahead - October 30th - November 3rd, 2017
News and Notes
Thank you to everyone for their participation on the PA Day. Both speakers brought important messages about different topics. I hope on some level, you felt affirmed in what you are already doing to help our kids and families.
Selby PS is ahead of the game in creating what Dr. Clinton described as a "mentally healthy school", because of the way you connect with our students and make them feel welcome and supported.
We will continue to strategize about how to educate our students, in meaningful ways, about indigenous issues in this country. Please remember, there are a number of really excellent mentor texts in the Resource Room that might help you broach this topic in age-appropriate ways.
Due to our cancelled staff meeting next week, I am proposing we re-schedule the staff meeting for November 7th at 8:00 am. This will serve as our October & November meeting, and we will cancel the one previously scheduled for November 21st.
Most importantly, we welcome our friend Donna back tomorrow. Selby will feel a little more like itself again. Thank you again to everyone for coming together to support Donna, and the school as a whole, in this difficult time.
Have a great week!
