Please save the date of Sunday, April 23 from 2:00-4:00 pm for the Wellness Fair.  We will have lots of fun activities for the whole family and an assortment of community vendors available to share information on how to be more active, healthy and well.  If you are interested in being a vendor at the Wellness Fair, please contact Nikia Kilgo (Coach K).    

It's time to register new 2017-18 rising kindergartners!  Registration materials can be accessed here and will be gladly accepted by the Selwyn office staff, who can review your application to make sure it is complete.  In addition, you will receive an invitation to Selwyn's Beginner's Day which will be held on Friday, May 5.  Please save the date and plan to attend!   

Selwyn's School Leadership Team (SLT) is taking parent nominees to fill four open spots.  Members meet to advise Selwyn on strategic issues facing the school.  More information on Selwyn's SLT can be found on Selwyn's CMS web page here.  Nominees will be voted on at the May 4 PTA meeting the night of Selwyn Celebrates the Arts (SCArts).  Interested candidates should click here to complete a Google form.

Classic Photography will be on campus on Tuesday, April 4 to take pictures of students whose parents would like one.  Students' fall pictures will appear in the yearbook, not this one.  If you would like your child's picture taken, you will need to return the form, which will be sent home in backpacks, and pay in advance.  Only students who return the form with payment will have their picture taken.  Correction to last week's Eagle Email - there will be NO SIBLING PICTURES offered.  

All third through fifth grade students who take private music lessons are eligible and encouraged to sign up to perform at Selwyn Celebrates the Arts (SCArts) on Thursday, May 4 during the Musical Solo Showcase from 5:30 until 6:30 pm.  Sign up forms will be given out during Music class to any student who is interested in participating.  A preferred performance time may be indicated on the form, due to Mrs. Pasour by March 27. Please contact Mrs. Pasour with any questions.

Do you have gently used books that your students have out grown?  If so, please send them in as classroom teachers, especially in lower grades, are in need of books to fill out their leveled reading libraries.  If you could include the Guided Reading level and Lexile Level of the book(s) when sent in, it would assist in the sorting for the classrooms.  You can look up levels using the search bar on Scholastic Book Wizard.  

CMS is requesting $798 million to build 10 new schools, replace five others, renovate 13 and add 4,000 seats in seven magnet schools.  The next step in the process is to get the bond referendum on the ballot in November so voters have an opportunity to take a position.  $169.3 million of the proposed bond is allocated for District 5 and will benefit the entire district to keep buildings up to date and help prevent overcrowding.  The approved 2013 bond provided funds for Selwyn to update the upper school as well as take down the old AG buildings sitting by the upper parking lot.  The county has recently released these funds and demolition and renovation are scheduled to take place this summer.  Regardless of student assignment decisions in the future, crowded areas will still need new schools and aging buildings will still need renovation. Please consider contacting your county commissioner and request that the bond referendum be added to the ballot in November.
