Southeast Families-
This is Eric Yarbrough, principal at Southeast Alamance High School.
Congratulations to Janay Pegram, Neil Edwards, Youssef Mostafa, Isiah Tumey, and Augustine Koroma on qualifying and running this weekend in the NCHSAA Indoor Track State Championships. Congratulations as well to Jack Jennings who qualified for the NCHSAA State Wrestling Championship Meet next weekend.
Our average attendance rate for last week was 90.6% and we had 353 unexcused tardies. Congratulations to the sophomore class that had the highest attendance rate last week at 91.6%. Approximately 60% of the unexcused tardies are because students are late to 1st period. Students must be in class by 8:45 each day. Just as a reminder, students that are late because of a bus issue are excused. Please help us by talking to your child about getting to each class on time. You can review our new tardy policy by clicking on the link below.
We will be offering Saturday School this semester for students that need extra support in their classes. We will be running Saturday School this Saturday, February 17th from 9:00 until 12:00. Parents and students can sign their child up to attend at the link below. If you have any questions regarding Saturday School then please contact Mrs. Crumel at alexis_crumel@abss.k12.nc.us.
We will also be running an evening academy on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 4:15 to 6:30. This is a great opportunity for your child to get some extra help if they need it. Please contact Bo Williamson at brandon_williamson@abss.k12.nc.us to sign your child up for our Evening Academy.
In the next few weeks, our counselors will be meeting individually with students regarding their course selections for next year. To learn more about the registration process and opportunities for your child in the Alamance-Burlington School System please visit the link below.
Please fill out the following form if you are interested in receiving emails in regards to second semester, summer, and 2024-2025 drivers ed courses.

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 $4,000. 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.
