Student Ambassador's November Kindness Campaign
Our Student Ambassadors Club has deemed November Kindness and Thankfulness month. They will be doing some activities throughout the month to promote kindness in our building - starting with Kindess BINGO! The Kindness Bingo game was sent home with in-person students on Monday. Online students can also participate by marking the image below electronically and submitting it to their classroom teacher. Students can complete the challenges, mark them off on their paper and have someone at home initial it.
If students get 4 in a row, they can turn their board in for 5 PBIS Leadership Points. If they choose to keep working on it and get a BLACK OUT, all spaces completed, they can turn it in for 20 PBIS Leadership Points. Students must turn in their bingo cards to Mrs. Andrade or Coach Colletti by November 30th to collect points!

Miles of Smiles dental program is starting soon! The dental care will be provided at Southeast from November 17 through December 4. Please register ASAP to ensure your child can be seen by the dentist at Southeast.

- 1st Quarter Total: 50,858 points
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.
Do you know a Park Hill Star?
The Park Hill Star recognition program was started in 2015 to celebrate support staff and teachers whose work is especially noteworthy.
The following is an overview of the Park Hill Star Program:
Our employees are the reason we are so successful here in the Park Hill School District, and we would like to recognize them for all they do for our students. That is why we present the Park Hill Star award once a month to a pre-K or elementary teacher, a secondary teacher and a support employee.
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.
