Hello Amazing Families,

I cannot believe this year is already half way through. Our students are achieving their goals and the growth overall at Seltice this year has been substantial. Thank you for those who continue to get your kiddos to school each and everyday. We understand there are illnesses that keep students at home at times. Their daily attendance is an impactful indicator of success. Please reach out if there are factors that are keeping your student home that we can help support you with.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership. Our Tribe continues to get stronger, together. 💜

-Falon Rowland, Principal

Please ensure your child is coming to school dressed for the weather. The next couple weeks will be cold and we will go outside as long as the 'feels like' remains double digits.

• Weather guidelines for children (wind chill, heat index, etc.)

• Cold = The “feels like” temperature should be at least 10 degrees.

Introducing our SELTICE CHIEF SUPERSTORE. We love to celebrate students and all their achievements. Our main goal is to emphasize working hard, preserving, and taking responsibility for their learning EACH AND EVERYDAY. We'd also like to give them the opportunity to earn some small prizes.

Students received raffle tickets for their accomplishments and could win a chance to pick something from the 'store'. We also have some fun competition between grade levels. 2nd and 4th grade won our first round and earned a small treat and an extra recess for their hard work in the 1st Semester.

Parents/Guardians,
