Kindergarten Celebration
We know the first days of school are exciting for all of our students, and can be extra exciting for our Kindergarteners who are coming to Southeast for the first time!
Due to COVID restrictions, we cannot permit parents to walk their children into the building. The first day of school is always hectic, so we want to avoid adding to the congestion.
We still want things to be special, so Kindergarten parents will have the opportunity to drop their children off on the blacktop between 8:50am-9:10am on the Friday, August 27th. Kindergarten teachers will be on the blacktop gathering their classes prior to entering the school building.
If your child is riding the bus to school, a school staff member will personally accompany Kindergarteners to their teacher if necessary.
Fall Clubs at Southeast
Club Flyer - Printed flyers will be distributed no later than Wednesday, August 25th, but you can see the flyer electronically below.
Application Process— Club sign-up will be online! Check your email for the SignUp Genius link (coming Thursday, August 26th at 6am). Students may sign-up for clubs they are interested in online until they are full or until September 3rd when our sign-up closes. If you are unable to sign-up online please contact Dr. Sieminski by email (sieminskis@parkhill.k12.mo.us) or phone (816-359-6818). Depending on the slots available, she will either complete the Sign-Up Genius for you or place your child’s name on a waiting list.
Club Start Dates— Each club sponsor will communicate with families beginning the week of August 30th. In order to participate in a club, families will need to submit permission slips prior to the first day of the club.
Bring Each Day
Backpacks: This makes it easier for students to bring essential supplies to and from school.
Water Bottle: We are asking students and staff members to please come to school and work with a water bottle, if possible. Students and staff members can fill from one of our water fill stations instead of using the water fountains.
Badge & Lanyard: Like years past, students will be issued a student ID badge. The ID badge supports our safe and caring environment by providing proper identification and improved processes for lunch, media checkout, bus transportation, and more. Your child should wear his/her ID badge to and from school each day on a school provided lanyard. Your child's badge will be provided by the school and one replacement badge will also be provided (in case of a lost badge). After the first free replacement badge, a $5 fee will be charged for each additional badge.
Charged Device: K-1st students will be provided a district iPad. Students in 2nd-5th grades will be provided a district laptop. It is the responsibility of the student to charge their device at home and bring it back to school each day.
Sanitizer (OPTIONAL): Throughout the day, we will encourage hand washing, and we will also supply hand sanitizer in every classroom. Students and staff members must wash hands or use hand sanitizer before and after meals and recess.Students may bring a personal bottle of hand sanitizer if they prefer.
Superstar Attendance
Level 1: Attendance rate of 90%
Level 2: Attendance rate between 85% and 90%
Level 3: Attendance rate is below 80%
Mrs. Frayer (Counselor) and Mrs. Logan (Social Worker), will be working with students and families to make sure we meet the 90/90 goal at Southeast. Please help us by making being at school a priority for your family.
If your child does have to absent, please call the school office (816-359-4360) to report the student's absence. If the school does not receive a call when a student is absent, we will attempt to contact you to check on the student.
