This month’s **QuaverReady Family Connections Newsletter** focuses on **Self-Awareness**—helping students understand their emotions, recognize their strengths, build confidence, and develop a positive mindset.
Families can help reinforce these important life skills at home by talking with their children about:
⭐ Self-Awareness
⭐ Self-Management
⭐ Social Awareness
⭐ Relationship Skills
⭐ Responsible Decision-Making
We encourage our Selfridge families to check out the newsletter and use the **QR codes** for a fun QuaverReady activity and song to enjoy together!
**Working together—school, students, and families—helps our students succeed!**

Selfridge Public School is excited to be using **Amira**, a reading program that acts like a personal reading coach for our students!
🎧 Students read aloud while Amira listens.
📖 Amira identifies reading strengths and areas needing improvement.
💡 Students receive immediate, individualized help.
📊 Teachers receive valuable data to guide instruction and interventions.
Our goal is simple: **meet students where they are and help every student become a stronger, more confident reader!**
🧡🖤 **Selfridge Public School — Home of the Chieftains!**




Exciting progress continues on our **new Secure Entrance Project**!
Each day brings us another step closer to a **safer, more secure, and welcoming entrance** for our students, staff, families, and visitors. It’s exciting to watch the project take shape!
We appreciate everyone’s **patience and cooperation** while construction continues.
🧡🖤 Home of the Chieftains!
