Spring Clubs
School Clubs are a fun and engaging opportunity for students at all grade levels. Here is a bit of information to help you and your child select and apply for the club(s) you choose.
Club Brochures - Club brochures with information about each club that will have new spots available this spring will be sent home with students when they return from winter break on Monday, January 6th.
Application Process— Club sign-up will be online! Check your email for the SignUp Genius link (coming Tuesday, January 7th at 6am). All permission slips will be sent home after you sign-up online. Students may sign-up for clubs they are interested in online until they are full or until January 14th when our sign-up closes.
Club Start Dates— Each club sponsor will communicate with families prior to the club start date. Students may begin attending club after they have turned in their completed permission slip (which will be sent after students have signed up for clubs prior to January 17th).

Awards will be presented to the top ten finishers. All current Park Hill 5th-8th graders are eligible, but students must sign up by February 1st. Register thru the link below, or by going to the “Parent Resources” section of the district website. You may also contact your school office for assistance.
Habits At Home: Habit 2: Begin With the End in Mind
- Develop a family mission statement. Start by talking and writing about answers to questions like: What does our family want to be known for? How do we treat each other? What unique contributions do we make? What big goals do we want to achieve? Once you've put the answers into a collection of phrases that make sense for your family, post it and encourage all members of the family to use the mission to help them when making decisions or resolving disputes.
- Choose an area that needs improvement. The area of improvement, or the broad goal, becomes your end in mind. Then think of specific steps that will lead to achieving this goal. For example, if the goal is to improve as a reader, specific steps may include reading a certain amount of time every day or working several times a week to improve oral fluency.
- Ask your child if there is something special he or she would like to buy, then help your child plan how much money he or she will need to save and how long it will take. Discuss ideas for earning extra money like doing additional chores and helping around the house.
- Create a “wants” and “needs” collage with your child. Cut out pictures of various items (toys, candy, vegetables, cleaning supplies, appliances, books, etc.) from a magazine and then ask your child to paste them under the correct column of “wants” or “needs.” Discuss why he or she chose to put the items in the respective columns.
- Read Chapter 2 of The 7 Habits of Happy Kids book with your child and then complete the Parent’s Corner.

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 throughout the year on the Southeast website , Facebook, Twitter 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, email, or stop by the school with any questions you may have regarding your child’s education.
