Southeast Families-
This is Eric Yarbrough, principal at Southeast Alamance High School. I hope you all have had a wonderful weekend.
Congratulations to Coach Aguilar and our football team on a great season. They came up short in their 3rd round game against Clinton High School on Thursday night, but they had a great season. We are proud of them and all that they accomplished in their first season.
On Monday at 9:30, we will hold a lockdown drill at Southeast. We anticipate the drill lasting about 15 minutes. You may see a few more officers on campus during that time as they assist us with the drill. Please know that students will not be able to sign out between 9:30 and 9:45 as we are conducting this drill.
Just a reminder that there is no school for staff or students on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday this week for the Thanksgiving break.
The ABSS school board voted this week to revise the student calendar. March 5th, 2024 will now become a Required Workday and February 21st, 2024 and March 13th, 2024 (former early release days) will become full student days. The new student calendar is linked below.
Evening Academy has started, but it is not too late for you to join us! It is held every Tuesday and Thursday from 4:15-6:30. This is a great opportunity for you to catch up on missing work, get tutoring in a core subject or recover credits from previous courses. You must provide your own transportation. Please contact Coach Williamson at brandon_williamson@abss.k12.nc.us if you are interested in attending our evening academy.
As we start winter sports, please remember that we do have a clear bag policy for all extracurricular events. Please help us by ensuring that if you bring a bag that it is clear and meets the clear bag policy.
In order to stay up to date about your child’s grades and attendance, it is very important that you download the Powerschool Parent Portal App. HERE is all the information you need to download the app and set up its features. Finally, if you want to be a parent observer in your child’s Canvas courses then click here for instructions to set that up. If you have any questions please reach out to us.
Breakfast and lunch are not universally free for all students. If you would like your child to eat meals at school, you will either need to put money on their online account or you will need to secure a free/reduced lunch status by filling out the required form. The form is available in the office or you can fill it out online: https://www.lunchapplication.com/
You can add money to their lunch account online, by clicking the link below.
