NEW! Important Dates 2026-27 Calendar

We are excited to share this new calendar format of our Important Dates for the 2026-27 school year. A huge shout out to a dedicated and talented parent volunteer who initiated the creation of this new resource. We hope it will be a helpful tool for parents.

Wednesday, September 30 is the official MEQ attendance verification day. On this day, Selwyn House is required to report student attendance to the Ministry as part of the registration process for the 2026–2027 academic year. Please avoid scheduling appointments for your son on this day. His attendance helps ensure a smooth registration process and avoids additional paperwork for both families and the School. If you have any questions, please contact Ms. Kelli Poulin at poulink@selwyn.ca.
