Here at East Selkirk Middle School

​At East Selkirk Middle School, we recognize that middle years age students are making critical life choices. This is an important stage in terms of forming attitudes, values and habits. Students are affected both physically and emotionally and this brings about challenges not only for the students, but also the parents and teachers. For middle years schools to be successful their students must be successful, for students to be successful the school’s organization, curriculum and programs must be based on the needs of these kids. Students at this stage of development need caring, support and understanding as well as structure and fair discipline if they are to succeed.

As an educator and a part of this school, my job is to motivate and help my students find success.
In our classroom we strive to be critical thinkers, inquisitive questioners, and kind, keen learners.
We keep a positive atmosphere where everyone is included and feels safe.
