If they breakfast at school, they may be eligible to receive free or reduced price meals. You may qualify if your household’s annual gross income is within the limits identified by the Federal Income Eligibility Standards.
Our online application can be found on our website and paper copies are available upon request. Only one application needs to be filled out per household. Remember - each year you must submit a new application.
Please contact Becky Elmore, Child Nutrition Supervisor, at 208-773-1625 with your questions regarding the school lunch or breakfast program.
Seltice Game Night
Does Your Child Have a Smart Phone?
Many Seltice children have unrestricted internet access on their smartphones outside of school.
Our kids are keeping up with technology (and how to hide what they are doing on a phone) much better than the adults. If you have not given your child a device and have carefully restricted all unfiltered access- we applaud you! You are making a difference for our entire community.
If not, we implore you to educate yourself and consider how you can protect your child. Our kids cannot ‘un-see’ what they find online.
Please read this article Cellphones and Devices a guide for parents and caregivers
and visit https://www.commonsensemedia.org/articles more information.

Seltice Chief School Wide Expectations
Our Seltice Leadership Team has developed school wide expectations.
Our goal is to create an environment that everyone has an equal opportunity to learn as much as possible and feel safe while doing so.
Our four Character Traits are focused on;
BEing Responsible, BEing Respectful, BEing Safe and BEing Kind.
Students were introduced to these after Christmas Break. Students and Teachers have embraced teaching and learning about these qualities. It has already positively impacted Seltice.
Our newest mural in the cafeteria;
Students were so excited to see this addition after Spring Break🧡
