Welcome to 2nd Semester!!
As we being the second semester on Tuesday, January 19th, many students are returning to in-person learning and some may have a new teacher! In many ways, it's like beginning a new school year! At the beginning of the school year, we created Virtual Orientation Videos where families could gain information about each classroom at Southeast. Check out the link below for more information!
NWEA Testing
If your child will be an online learner during 2nd semester, please review our Southeast Winter Testing for Online Families K-5th newsletter for more information.
Southeast Broadcasting Club
There is limited space available, and it is first come first serve. Students will meet via Zoom to record announcements for our school. If the slots are full, feel free to reach out to Ms. Crapps by email (CrappsA@parkhill.k12.mo.us) or phone (816-359-6130), so she can put your child on a waiting list for the club.
Valentine/Friendship Parties
As we prepare, we want to be ready to support any students who do not bring notes for their peers to school. Positive notes are a great way for students to show kindness to one another! If you are able, and interested in helping, please send an extra package/box of cards to school for our students who do not have them. Here are some things to keep in mind if you are able to help:
- Please make sure there are enough for an entire class - 24 cards.
- Please consider getting cards that would be appropriate for older students.
Recess Reminders
The cold weather is upon us! Just a friendly reminder that students are expected to go out for recess each day. Appropriate clothing and shoes should be worn for outside activities. On days when the temperature and/or wind chill is above 20 and the playground is cleared of snow and ice, there will be outdoor recess.
Please put your child's name on their winter clothing (coats, gloves, hats, etc..). This will help us return your child's lost clothing to them quickly! Due to COVID-19, we will not let our Lost and Found closet fill up as much as we have in the past which means we will make more frequent donations to the Park Hill Clothing Center.
Registration Now Open for Park Hill Spelling Bee
The Park Hill District spelling bee will be a two part online assessment this year with the winner advancing directly to the Scripps National Spelling Bee held near Washington, DC., June 1 - 3.

January Curriculum Connections
Check out the linked Curriculum Connections below to see what Park Hill students are learning! We want to share the learning topics at all of the grade levels so that you can ask your child about their learning this month. Your child's teacher is always happy to provide more details should you have questions!

This year we are working hard to recognize students for all the great things that they are doing. When staff notice students following our school PBIS expectations (Be Safe, Be Kind, Be Proactive, Be a Leader) they often award students a Leadership Point.
Southeast Communication
You will find several ways to stay up to date on school activities on the Southeast website , Facebook, and newsletters from your child’s teacher. You will also occasionally get an automated email or voicemail message sent to you, by the school, with important information and reminders. We know two-way communication is best, so please feel free to call or email with any questions you may have regarding your child’s education.
