Welcome to the SELA Parent Association (SEPA)!
Every parent of a SELA student is a member of the Parents Association (SEPA) at SELA. SEPA provides opportunities for parents to connect, communicate, support and participate in the life of the school by contributing their time and talents.
All parents are encouraged to attend and participate in discussions and decision-making at the Parent Association’s regular monthly meetings.
