Message from Mrs. Deayon & Mrs. Sieminski
The final phase of Distance Learning begins next Monday. Four weeks of learning activities, along with some fun "virtual" events have been planned for these final four weeks of the 2019-2020 school year. The last day of school for students will be May 22. Packets continue to be available at the lunch pick-up location each day from 11am - 1pm (Walden is closest food pick-up location to Southeast). Please call the Southeast Office if you need any assistance with accessing your learning materials.
As we move into the month of May, we continue to be so impressed with the level of commitment to learning we see each and every day! Your students have showed resilience and perseverance in making this very unusual school experience the best it can be under the circumstances. We hope to continue encouraging school spirit with our first ever "Distance Learning Spirit Week!" See details below. We are looking forward to showcasing our Southeast pride even from a distance!
Southeast and the Park HIll School District will be communicating plans for the end of the school year in regard to gathering your student's supplies, yearbooks, photos and more
All our best,
Terri Deayon & Sarah Sieminski

DNA Day
On the link above you will find:
- Picture of the directions and supplies needed
- Video demonstration for how to extract DNA from strawberries
You can use other fruit, however strawberries have more copies of their genome/cell so it is easy to get a lot of DNA from them compared to other fruits.
Here is another link with helpful information about DNA: National DNA Day
Here is a coloring book: Coloring with Cell

Kindergarten Registration
We are trying to ROUND UP all of the 2020-2021 Kindergarten Superstars NOW! Due to the COVID-19 School Closure our annual Kindergarten Round Up will be moved to August, 2020 with a date to be confirmed SOON!
Right now we have just 22 kindergarten students enrolled at Southeast Elementary School for the 2020-2021 school year. This enrollment number greatly impacts our staffing plans as we prepare for the 2020-2021 school year, so it is critical to have families enroll their child right away for the 2020-2021 kindergarten class. If you have a child or know a child in the area who turns 5 years old on or before July 31, 2020 please access this information below to enroll.
If you have older children attending Southeast Elementary School during the 2019-2020 school year, then you just need to add your incoming kindergarten child to your annual Online Verification and Residency Information: Online Verification and Residency Link
If you will be NEW to Southeast Elementary School: WELCOME! This is the link you will use to enroll your incoming 2020-2021 Future Kindergarten Student: Enroll in Park Hill
Thank you! I can't emphasize enough how important it is to have as many of our 2020-2021 kindergarten students enrolled by the beginning of May. If you have any questions or need help regarding this process, please reach out to the Southeast front office!
Parent Engagement Survey
Thank you for taking a few minutes to complete this short 9-item survey!
4th Quarter Grades
As you might have seen in a message from the district, we will be flexible and give grace as we prepare students’ 4th quarter report cards.
While we will give you as much feedback as we can on how your child is doing on the learning standards, we will be reasonable with your child and with ourselves, knowing that this is a difficult time for everyone. We will use what evidence we can find to show how well your child has learned.
In the past, we used only these grades:
- Exceeded (E)
- Mastered (M)
- Partially understood (P)
- Needed support (N)
For this report card, we will add three more reporting options:
- Distance learning completion (DL) - The student completed the work at home during distance learning.
- Unknown completion (UC) - The student might have completed the work at home, but the teacher does not know for sure.
- Not applicable (NA) - The teacher did not give an assignment or look for evidence of learning in this area.
2019-2020 Yearbooks
Yearbooks will be available for pick-up when students pick-up their supplies. When we have more information about this process, we will share it with you. Our PTA ordered extra yearbooks, so please reach out if you would like more information about how you can pay for a yearbook even if you didn't order one previously.
Devices for K-2 Students Are Still Available. Call (816)359-5000 if you need a device.

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, 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.
