Welcome to Selkirk and welcome to PAC
Selkirk Adults who provide care to children at Lord Selkirk Elementary School are automatically members of the Parent Advisory Council (PAC). Congratulations! We hope you’ll get involved because you believe what the research shows: When adults are a part of their children’s education, their children are more successful in school.
The purpose of the PAC is to provide opportunities for all Selkirk Adults (including Parents, Caregivers and Guardians) to actively contribute and participate in ways that enhance our school and complement our children’s school experience. If you love a child who goes to Lord Selkirk Elementary, you are automatically a member of the Selkirk PAC.
- You matter
- Your opinions are important
- You belong
