Students learn best when they are actively engaged in the learning process and have appropriate opportunities for success.
Students perform at high levels of cognitive complexity to increase individual student proficiency and performance.

Selwyn Elementary SMART Goals Provide a duty-free lunch period for every teacher on a daily basis.
Provide duty-free instructional planning time for every teacher under G.S. 115C-105.27 and -301.1, with the goal of providing an average of at least five hours of planning time per week, to the maximum extent that the safety and proper supervision of students may allow during regular student contact hours.
Provide a positive school climate, under CMS regulation JICK-R, by promoting a safe learning environment free of bullying and harassing behaviors
By the end of the 2015 – 2016 school year 42% of our students classified, as Black and Hispanic, in grade 3-5 will demonstrate overall proficiency as determined by the North Carolina End of Grade tests. This reflects a 3% increase from the 2014-2015 North Carolina End-of-Grade test.
By the end of the 2015 – 2016 school year 86.7% (CCR 80.6%) of our students in grades 3-5 will demonstrate proficiency as determined by the North Carolina End of Grade test. This reflects a 3% increase from our 2014-2015 Overall Composite score on the North Carolina End-of-Grade test
By the end of the 2015 – 2016 school year 85% (CCR 78%) of our students in grades 3-5 will demonstrate proficiency in reading as determined by the North Carolina Reading End of Grade test. This reflects a 3% increase from the 2014-2015 North Carolina Reading End-of-Grade test.

Selwyn Elementary Profile Selwyn Elementary School is located on the edge of the South Park Business District between Alexander Graham Middle School and Myers Park High School. Selwyn opened in 1959 on 212 acres of wooded property. A replacement school was constructed on property beside the original school and was completed in 2003. Selwyn began the 2003 – 2004 school year in this brand new facility on what is now called the South Park Campus. Due to increased student enrollment, we expanded into the old Selwyn building, now called the Upper School in 2008. At that time, we acquired sixteen classrooms which house the fourth and fifth grade classrooms, Resource, Talent Development, Art, Music, and two classes of autistic students. This building was upgraded with new windows, tile flooring, improved lighting, a newly installed heat and air system and a covered walkway to connect the two buildings.
Selwyn’s outstanding instructional program boasts a committed staff, enthusiastic parent involvement, a climate conducive to learning and the expectation of success for all of its learners. Outcomes for students over the last decade have earned the students, parents and staff recognition for demonstrated growth achievement. The administration and an experienced staff work closely with the 90 plus member PTA Board to plan meaningful experiences based on school goals for all students. Each classroom has updated, networked computer stations to support student-engaged learning time, multimedia projects and Internet research. Currently, there are SmartBoards in all classrooms as well as the Technology Lab. The PTA supports our arts education and helps strengthen student experiences. Selwyn students are provided with a rich and varied educational experience.
Selwyn’s PTA is very active and strongly supportive of both Selwyn and Billingsville Elementary School, our Schoolmates partner school. The PTA supports both schools through Building Blocks a capital campaign that provides financial support and funding for school projects and materials for the school. Additionally, the PTA implements the Red Ribbon Reading summer reading program for all students to fund the PTA’s operational budget. The two budgets total approximately $185,000 a year.
Selwyn Elementary was a School of Distinction during the 2010-2011 school year. Using Effective Schools Research and a comprehensive planning process for more than twelve years, the school has developed a strategic plan to establish the focus and to promote continuous improvement. A variety of student data is analyzed to plan for instruction and for revisions. Collaboration at grade level and across grade levels encourages increased student success and a professional work environment
