Weekly Happenings at Southeastern Elementary
Principal's Postings
Welcome to the April 22nd edition of Southeastern Scene.
Dear Families:
On behalf of our entire Southeastern Elementary Learning Community, we would like to extend our sincere appreciation to our families. Layers of love, time and energy were graciously given to build our first ever Spring Carnival and Explore-A-Thon. Our families rallied around all of the opportunities leading up to this event that brought a whole lot of excitement and energy. The joy, laughter and memories made today excite us as our new traditions are being formed. It was inspiring to watch our community all come together for our children. Thank you for making this happen and for joining us in the adventure! The kids will never forget today!
Yours in education,
Mrs. Chastain

Fourth grade students will take Mathematics, English/Language Arts, and Science assessments.
Please see below for important information:

- Attached below is an information sheet for families from the IDOE about the ILEARN assessments.
- Every student will need the following on testing days:

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.
