SELS Weekly

September 8-12, 2025

📢 Important Info

Greetings!

We are off to an amazing start to the 2025-26 school year! Some logistical reminders as we begin our third week:

  • Elementary morning drop-off begins at 8:55 am (if your child is not in Morning Program); please do not have students here before then as we have no campus supervision.
  • Any time you are waiting in the pick-up area for students, please turn your car off. DO NOT LET YOUR CAR IDLE FOR LONG PERIODS. We are trying to keep students and staff healthy and car exhaust fumes are not safe.
  • When walking onto campus, make sure you park in the parking lot; do not leave cars unattended in the driving lanes during drop-off and pick-up times.
  • All SELS visitors, classroom volunteers, chaperones and drivers on fieldwork MUST check in at the office to receive a badge. You need to bring your driver’s license with you. Feel free to ask anyone in the office if you need assistance with this process.
  • Lots of fieldwork coming up! Please be sure your student is prepared: dressed appropriately for the weather, proper footwear, sunscreen, snacks and/or lunch packed.

Big thanks for your help with these matters. Besides helping our program run more effectively, you are setting your children up for success and preparing to make the best of our upcoming school year.

💡 Reminders

  • Be sure that you read/bookmark/download/flag David Manahan's Back to School post so you have all the pertinent info for this school year, and so you can refer to it when questions arise.


  • IMPORTANT: If you were accepted at SELS in the Free & Reduced Lottery, you MUST sign up for the Free and Reduced Meals program ASAP. It is mandatory to sign up for the Free & Reduced Meals program, even if lunches are free for all or if you do not plan to use the services, as per our Lottery Policy. We also realize that circumstances may change for families. If you feel that you might qualify for the Free and Reduced Meals program, we encourage you to apply even if you do not plan to use the services, as this helps our funding per student. **Please note that you must fill out a new application each year in order to qualify. If you have questions about the application process, you will need to contact the Food Services Dept directly.**
