🔸 Improve **visitor check-in and accountability**
🔸 Provide better **visibility and supervision of the main entrance**
🔸 Add a **layer of security** between the outside entrance and student areas

🔸 Provide a **welcoming environment** for parents, families, and community members
Our goal is simple: **Keep Selfridge Public School welcoming while making it safer for everyone.**
We are excited about this improvement to our school and appreciate everyone's patience while construction continues.

5th & 6th learned how water can be filtered to create cleaner water. Using everything we could gather (minus sand) some of us succeeded while others found they have made a few mistakes along the way.
The class ran out of time to see it complete, however Braylin and Dontez managed to make the best filter out of the 3 groups.
Great lessons happen through mistakes, but understanding comes from considering all elements before applying necessary actions.






Our first week of Summer School ended with smiles, stories, and lots of sharing! 🥰 Through our Show and Tell activity, students discovered that friendship grows when we listen, encourage one another, and celebrate what makes each of us unique.
The greatest treasure wasn’t what they brought to share—it was the friendships they built along the way. 💛 Here’s to a summer filled with laughter, learning, kindness, and memories that will last long after Summer School ends! ☀️📚✨










Kyra and Cecille managed to keep the egg safe AND secured in our Egg Drop STEM lesson.
The goal: Don't crack the egg; don't let it fall out.
Sometimes we learn that with the time we have (20mins) we have to use it wisely and allow time for small adjustments (5mins) to make sure we meet the goals we set for ourselves.
Everyone had the exact same time with the exact same goals, but we often lose sight of them because we worry about the wrong parts.
This lesson is not only about physics but everyday situations that only have so little time to solve.
Great activity Mr Shell Track
