Parent Information Evening for Grade 1 to 6 ~ Thursday, September 2: As promised, please access the schedule and all Parent Information Evening course documents for your son’s grade. Please take a moment to read (and print if you wish). Paper copies will not be handed-out. Reminder that this evening is for adults only, students do not attend. Please wear your mask. The evening will begin at 5:30pm for grades 1, 3, and 5 and 6:45pm for grades 2, 4, and 6. The schedule for the evening includes locations AND entry & exit doors. The evening will start promptly at the assigned hour and we ask that you leave immediately at the end of your session to allow us to prepare for the next group. We ask for your understanding and full cooperation to make this evening a safe and successful opportunity to meet the teachers in person. One family member per student. Masks mandatory. Sessions will also be recorded and posted at a later date.
Student Directory (Updated regularly): The student directory is available online through OnCampus (www.selwyn.ca/oncampus). If you don't remember your OnCampus username and password, from the login page press “Forgot your login?” 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.
Weekly Schedule: Our ten-day block schedule runs from Monday to Friday, Week 1 and Week 2. These days are fixed for the year and are noted on the calendar.
Weekly Mailbag: Each Thursday, parents will be emailed the weekly mailbag, which will highlight the news for the following week(s). Mailbag items including the Update are posted on the school’s website.
All Weather Clothing: We will be spending as much time outdoors as possible this term, please make sure your son has proper outdoor clothing. A good pair of rain boots, rain pants and rain jacket will be important for the rainy days or days when the ground is wet. Every boy should also have a water bottle that he can bring with him. A hat for the sun would be a good idea too.
Youth Theatre Canada ~ Grades 5-8: Youth Theatre Canada are looking for talented and aspiring students to get involved in their community theatre. Auditions will be at the school on Wednesday, September 8. Please check out the permission slip for more information. Please return to Ms. Manal by September 7.
