Southeast Families-
This is Eric Yarbrough, principal at Southeast Alamance High School. I hope you all have had a wonderful weekend.
Our Student Support Services Team is asking that families take a minute to complete the Needs Assessment Questionnaire that is linked below. This form will assist our school's Student Support Services Team in knowing how best to support your child and family this school year. Fill out only one form per family if there are multiple children at Southeast. The information collected from this questionnaire is confidential.
We will begin our fall semester final exams on January 10th. Please note that final exams will count as 20% of your child’s final grade in their course. Please take a minute to review the final exam schedule. If you have any questions then please let us know.
This Friday during WIN Time, we will welcome admissions counselors from Western Carolina University. If your child is interested in learning more about Western Carolina University please have them sign through their Edficiency account.
Sophomore Parents, please mark your calendars for the sophomore parent night on December 12th. We will be sharing your child’s Pre-ACT score reports with you and walking you through what those reports mean. Please make plans to attend our Sophomore Parent Night on December 12th at 6:00.
I need your help. In the afternoons, please stay in the car rider line and not line up in the parking lot to pick up your child. You are welcome to park in a parking space to wait, but please do not park behind parked cars. Thank you in advance for your help as our goal is to get everyone out as timely and safely as possible.
The ABSS school board voted to revise the student calendar. March 5th will now become a Required Workday and February 21st and March 13th (former early release days) will now become full student days. The new student calendar is linked below.
Just a reminder that Evening Academy 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 to an event that it 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 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 application linked below. Our school currently has a negative balance of $2,900. At the end of the year, our school will have to pay the negative balance. Paying this money takes away important resources from other things that we may need at the school. Please help us to pay down our negative balance by putting money in your child’s account or by applying for free or reduced meals. The free or reduced application is available in the main office or you can fill out the online application at https://www.lunchapplication.com/.
You can add money to their lunch account online, by clicking the link below.
