Dear SELF Families:

SELF School will be closed to students and outside speech services on November 19, 2019 to allow our teachers the opportunity to participate in the Red for Ed Action Day at the Indiana State House in Indianapolis. Our teachers have elected to join their fellow educators from across the state as they assemble and petition our state legislators to provide the best educational environment for our students. They will be joined by parents, administrators, and community members across the state who will be advocating for our students as well.

Please know that our students have been our first priority when making the decision to cancel school on November 19, 2019. We simply cannot host school on a day in which such a large number of our staff will be out of the school. Therefore, this will be a day for our teachers to advocate for our students’ long-term educational opportunities and a quality learning environment.

All SELF students and staff will make up this day on December 20, 2019, which was originally a Teacher Records Day. Although this was not part of our school calendar, we are hoping that we are providing families with enough notification to make alternative arrangements for your child that day.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Sincerely,

Dr. Vida Choucalas

SELF School Principal
