Weekly Happenings at Southeastern Elementary
Principal's Postings
Welcome to the May 6th edition of Southeastern Scene.
Dear Families:
It is important to us that our families at home have a clear understanding of what learning and instruction look like at SES. Therefore, we spent the school year putting strategies into place to help tell the learning story that takes place at school each day. It is our hope that you have received consistent communication from school that gives you a clear understanding of the skills and strategies that your child is learning in each subject area. We value the voice of our families and would be so grateful for your feedback to help us improve our communication with our families. If you have more than one child and the communication differs, feel free to complete one form for each child. Thank you for celebrating learning with us!
Please access the form by clicking this link.
Yours in education,
Mrs. Chastain

Fourth Grade Send Off Parade
Fourth grade parents, on Friday, May 20th, at 1 p.m., your family is invited to participate in a send off drive through car parade for your child. Fourth-grade students will gather outside in the front of the building and parents are invited to slowly drive by, honk your horn, and wave to fourth grade classes. Please see below for important information regarding this celebration:
- We ask one car per child. Family carpooling is recommended to decrease the number of cars.
- Once you arrive to the building, you will follow the same path as you would for our normal car rider line. There will be cones, signs and staff members present to help direct you.
- In order to keep our traffic pattern safe for HIJH, as well as SES, please use Cyntheanne Park as an overflow and wait your turn to enter the SES parking lot from Cyntheanne Park if the parade line is backed up to Cyntheanne Road.
- This is ONLY a drive through chance to wave at the fourth graders lined on the sidewalk in front of the building.
- The parade will begin at 1 p.m. and will end immediately following the last vehicle in line. Please plan accordingly with your arrival if you would like to attend.
- In order to keep safety our top priority, please do not stop to take photos, talk with your child, or get out of your vehicle. Our staff will be sure to capture photos of the event.

Student Placement survey
As Spring approaches, we know that many of our families are thinking about next school year. With this comes an urge to make special requests for specific teachers. Southeastern cannot honor teacher requests by name due to the unique make up of classrooms and potential change of teacher placements. We strive to select the best learning environment for your child to thrive. We value your input and offer this optional form for you to share your thoughts. Due to the high number of emails received, our administration team will not be responding to e-mails with these special requests but encourage you to take the time to complete this form for your child. Thank you for partnering with us at Southeastern Elementary!
Southeastern Elementary Parent Input for Student Placement form
Arriving to School Late
Students are increasingly coming to school late. This causes a decrease in much-needed instruction time, and a tardy marked in their skyward account. Morning car rider line ends at 7:45 a.m. If you are dropping your student(s) off at school after morning car rider, and there are no adult staff members present outside, you MUST park your car, walk your student into the building, and sign him/her in at the table inside door #1. It is a safety concern to let students out curbside without adult supervision, and we want to be certain that all students are safe while entering/exiting the building. Also, students dropped off late will be marked “tardy" in Skyward. A student is considered tardy when arriving after 7:45.
