Weekly Update - December 13, 2019
Dear Selby Families,
With only one week of school to go, you can feel the excitement rising. Students have been enjoying lots of hands-on activities including mixed media art, preparation for our Holiday concert and some coding workshops for Coding Week!
Thank you to all of our wonderful families who attended our Holiday Concert. We appreciate your support. We are so proud of our students and are grateful for the extra time teachers put in to prepping for the show.
If you have any last minute items you would like to donate to our "Santa's Workshop" please send into the school (clearly marked) ASAP.
Please remind your child to check our Lost and Found for items they are missing! All unclaimed items will be donated over the holiday break to local charities.
This Tuesday we will host our first-ever whole school Holiday meal. This will consist of turkey, potatoes, gravy, corn, buns and stuffing. We are very grateful to No Frills, Metro and Costco for their generous donations to help make this possible.
FYI head lice still persists so please be diligent in checking and treating.
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.
