Southeast Families-
I hope that you are all doing well. It is hard to believe that we are only two weeks away from the start of the 24-25 school year. We have a lot of things happening over the next two weeks so please take a look at the information below so that you are aware of what is happening on campus as we prepare for the first day of school on August 26th.
Student Schedules
Student schedules are a work in progress. We are working on them daily to ensure that they are ready for the beginning of school. We anticipate having freshman schedules finalized by Freshman Orientation on August 13th. All other students will be finalized prior to Open House on August 20th.
We spend an incredible amount of time in the spring and summer working to build schedules for over 1100 students based on what the courses that students selected in the spring. Therefore, schedule changes are permitted only for the following reasons:
Holes in schedules (no assigned class period)
Juniors/Seniors w/specific graduation requirements
Earned credit in summer school or credit recovery
Erroneously placed in class already passed
Administrative decision
Schedule changes are not permitted for switching teachers or personal schedule preferences.
Open House
Please mark your calendar for our Open House event. The open house will be held on August 20th from 5:00 to 7:00. Feel free to drop in anytime between 5:00 and 7:00 to meet your child’s teachers for the fall semester.
Athletic Passes
Season passes are available for students. Southeast students can purchase an annual pass that gets them into all regular season home athletic events. They must be purchased by the end of August. The cost is $30. These passes must be purchased online.
Other season pass options for families and individuals are available on gofan.

We will also hold a freshman parent night on Tuesday, August 13th at 6:00 in the Southeast Auditorium.
Laptop Pickup
It is important that students have their laptop on the first day of school. Therefore, we will hold laptop pickup on Friday, August 16th from 3:00 until 6:00. Students that need to get their laptop are encouraged to stop in on Friday to pick up their laptop. More information to come regarding the laptop pickup later this week.
Supply Lists
Due to the variety of classes offered at the high school level we do not put out a supply list. Our teachers will share if there are specific items that are needed for their class at our open house.
Welcome Back Breakfast for Staff
On Monday, August 19th our staff will all return to prepare for the 24-25 school year. I am asking that parents and families donate items for our Back to School Breakfast for Staff.
