Please mark your calendar for Selwyn Elementary's Virtual Curriculum Night on Thursday, September 24 starting at 5:30 pm. The evening will begin with a welcome from Dr. Harris, a brief message from the PTA followed by the classroom visits. Look for Zoom information coming soon.

Dr. Harris and Mrs. Carrubba will open up the season of the Citizens and Scholars programs by recognizing our selected students with the trait of open-mindedness. Each classroom teacher will show the Citizens and Scholars program on Friday, September 25 at 8:00 am during their morning session with their class. We are looking forward to recognizing our students!

Red Ribbon Reading officially ended on Sunday, August 30 and it is now time to collect the pledges from sponsors you gathered last Spring.

Please click HERE to submit your child’s hours and find payment options if you have not done so already. The online form must be completed and your pledges paid by September 18 for your child to be eligible for any RRR top reader prizes.

We can’t wait to celebrate our children’s success and reward their efforts. Please contact the RRR Committee with any questions.

In lieu of separate grade level service projects this fall, Selwyn is excited to announce our new Fall outreach project: the sale of festive BOO yard signs that will benefit Communities In Schools of Charlotte. CIS-Charlotte is a local nonprofit that is dedicated to supporting and empowering local students to set them on the path to success.

BOO yard signs will spread cheer throughout our neighborhoods and Selwyn community as we surprise friends and neighbors with these festive Halloween decorations. We will be selling BOO yard signs starting September 23 through September 30 for $10 each. CIS-Charlotte will receive 100% of the net proceeds from the sale of all yard signs.

The window is short for our BOO sign sale in order to ensure signs are available for pickup in the beginning of October. Selwyn’s BOO yard signs are both a trick and a treat – they are perfect for getting into the “spirit” of Halloween and bringing our school together while supporting others in the greater Charlotte community.
