Hey Selkirk Elementary Students! 🎉

Guess what? Your awesome teachers have been busy today writing YOU a special letter! They’ve already put them in the mail, so keep an eye on your mailbox—you might get yours in just a few days! 📬✉️

We can’t wait to see your smiling faces back at school!

Don’t forget: Our Selkirk Elementary Open House for students in grades 1-5 is Wednesday, August 20th, from 4:00–5:00 p.m. Come say hi, check out your classroom, and meet your friends! If you are beginning Kindergarten, you have a scheduled WA Kids Meeting.

It is now official! The SelPort Lumberjacks Football Team inaugural season starts with practice on August 20. New Name, New Mascot, New Look, Same Great Partnership with Northport! Last year, Selkirk and Northport combined under Selkirk to field a quality football program. This year, with neither school able to field a full team independently, the two districts opted to join under a combined team name and mascot that represented both entities. Blue is an historical school color for both districts with black a current mutual color. The Lumberjack mascot represents the strong forestry industry in both communities. The combined high school football program is open to all 8th through 12th graders. Be sure to signup on FinalForms. If you have any questions call Coach Kelly Cain at (509) 419-8757.

🌟 Exciting Summertime Learning 🌟

Our teachers recently had an amazing opportunity to learn together in Spokane and enhance their math teaching skills with guidance from math education expert Dr. Jennifer Bay-Williams. 📚✏️

During the session, teachers explored strategies to build flexibility, efficiency, and accuracy in math problem-solving. It was truly inspiring to see our educators collaborate, plan, and understand the significant impact of fluency on student learning. 💡✨

Here at Selkirk, we’re committed to improving math education and fostering an engaging environment with high student achievement for every student!

Selkirk Sports Update: If your student plans to participate in sports this coming school year, please register on FinalForms as soon as possible. We are currently working under a tight timeline to order the appropriate equipment for each sport. In particular, football decisions are time-sensitive as we need to determine whether we will offer a junior high team this season which requires coordinating transportation for the high school team. Your prompt registration will help us make accurate plans. To be on the Selkirk Sports Update email list for 2025-26 send your information to Mrs. Link- llink@selkirkschools.org. She will be officially taking over as Athletic Director on August 1.
