Southeast Families-
This is Eric Yarbrough, principal at Southeast Alamance High School.
Our average attendance rate for last week was up almost two percent from last week at 92.5% and we had 401 unexcused tardies. Congratulations to the sophomore class that had the highest attendance rate last week at 94.1%. 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. Our next Saturday School is scheduled for Saturday, March 2nd 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.
Our school counselors, Ms. Toms and Ms. Rosario have begun course registration meetings with students. This process will take about a month. This week and most of next week, they are meeting with students currently in English classes. Next, they will move to Social Studies classes and then Science classes. If your child is not taking any of those courses this semester, then your child will be called in to meet with their counselors. They are meeting with each student individually, reviewing their current transcript, giving students a copy of their transcript and discussing course requests for next school year. To learn more about the registration process and opportunities for your child in the Alamance-Burlington School System please visit the link below.
All Juniors will be taking the ACT on Tuesday, February 27th. More information will come out soon from Ms. Crumel regarding the test administration.
Please fill out the form below if you are interested in receiving emails in regards to second semester, summer, and 2024-2025 drivers education courses.

The district approved the calendar for the 24-25 school year at their BOE meeting earlier this week. The approved calendar is linked below.
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.
