We encourage everyone to visit and bookmark our new website! There you will find all of the latest news, our calendar, the Family Handbook and info about our new communication platform: ParentSquare. You will also get the answers to most of your questions on the website, so please be sure to check it out!

If you were accepted at SELS in the Free & Reduced Lottery, you need to be signed up for the Free and Reduced Meals program before the start of school. 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.
