🗓 Mark Your Calendar

4/28: All School Assembly ~ 9:15am in the SELS Gym. PTC Coffee Cart ~ 8:40am-9:20am. PTC will be debuting some brand new, never before seen Spiritwear items including kids Tye Dye T shirts and new Tech T's for both adults and kids!
4/30: 8th Grade Slam Poetry Event ~ 6:00pm at Alibi Ale Works. The student performances are amazing and all are welcome to attend. That said, we feel we need a qualifier: the poem topics are on social justice issues and can be edgy. Students slam about race, immigration, violence, war and other controversial topics. Some presentations are not appropriate for students younger than middle school. We trust you will all make decisions based on your own children and what topics you feel they are or are not ready to hear about.
5/1: Community Meeting ~ 9:15am in the SELS Gym.
5/4: SELS Board Meeting ~ 5:30pm in Conference Room A at the District Office.

5/8: PTC Coffee Cart ~ 8:40 AM - 9:20 AM. PTC will have all the new Spiritwear as well as tickets for the Great Skate drawing available! The drawing will be for a beautiful Ponto Go E-bike by Electra. Details will be shared soon!
5/14: PTC Meeting ~ 5:30pm at Truckee Teas - 11429 Donner Pass Rd.
