School Council

Note from School Council 2022
Dear SES Community,

This spring, our school community decided who will help shape and direct local education for the next two years. In addition to the five elected positions, the Education Act sets out the ability for Council to welcome one non-elected First Nation representative. This person need not live in the catchment area or be the parent/guardian of a student but rather should be a member of one of the two Whitehorse-area First Nations --Ta'an Kwäch'än Council or Kwanlin Dün First Nation.

As a school council member, you have the opportunity to provide a strong voice for parents and other community members, to make decisions that matter to our school, and to contribute to the success of students. Recent activities and discussions at the Selkirk School Council include input to Covid planning and response, transportation (busing), Selkirk Street safety, providing input into the design of the new Selkirk Street parking lot, discussions related to teacher recruitment, the creation of the Yukon First Nation School Board, establishing funding criteria and reviewing and approving funding requests, etc. For more information about School Council activities, you can view the minutes from past meetings, which are posted on the Selkirk School Council webpage.

Sincerely,
Selkirk School Council

We are excited for some new ideas that have come forward and continuing work on the new parking lot at the back of the school. If you have anything you’d like to discuss with Council please feel free to email us at selkirkschoolcouncil@gmail.com.
There are some new teachers who are joining us this year and we are grateful to have them along with all of our returning staff. Thank you all for what you do with and for our children!
Hope to see and talk to you all soon,
Selkirk Elementary School Council
