Good Evening Southeast Families-
This is Eric Yarbrough, principal at Southeast Alamance High School calling with your weekly update.
Congratulations to the varsity football team on their 21 to 19 victory over Eastern Alamance High School on Friday night. Our marching band, cheerleaders, and dance team did a wonderful job as well. Thank you to everyone that traveled to Eastern to support our team.
Please remember that there is no school on Monday, September 2nd as we observe the Labor Day Holiday.
Class Meetings
This week I was able to meet with all students to review my expectations of them. I have attached the presentation that was used. Feel free to review the presentation so that you are also aware of my expectations of your child.
Morning and Afternoon Traffic
We understand that traffic in the morning and afternoon is very congested. I do ask that everyone please follow the traffic pattern so that we can get everyone on and off campus safely and in a timely manner. Please do not move cones and please do not park in or block our handicap spaces.
I did receive some exciting news on Thursday. The district has decided to allow us to add a Traffic Director position. This position will be paid for an hour in the morning and an hour in the afternoon to assist getting traffic on and off of our campus. The position pays $16.07 per hour. If you or someone you know is interested then please apply at the link below.

Cell Phone Policy
Please review ABSS Board Policy 4813 - Use of Wireless Communication Devices. Although students are permitted to possess such devices on school property, the devices are not allowed to be activated, used, displayed, or visible during the instructional day. Cell phones & Air pods must be turned off and put in backpacks during instructional time. Students may use cell phones during class changes and lunch time. Staff may immediately confiscate any wireless communication devices that are on, used, displayed, or visible in violation of this policy. Students that do not immediately turn over their cell phones according to this policy will automatically be suspended from school for two days. Please help us by talking with your child about this policy prior to the first day of school.
Optional Laptop Insurance
There is an optional $25 insurance option. This insurance will cover any incidental damage to the chromebook. I would highly recommend the insurance as your child will be taking the chromebook home each day, but it is optional. The link to the optional insurance is below.
Student Sign-Outs
If you need to sign your student out early, please send an email to sehsignouts@abss.k12.nc.us. This email will go to all staff in our main office. Please put the time and date that your student needs to be dismissed. The email must come from an email address that we have on file at Southeast Alamance.
Student Absence Notes
If your child is absent for part or all of a school day you can send in notes to our main office or you can take a picture and upload them to the absence form linked below. You can also find the absence form on our website.
Clear Bag Policy
Just a reminder that ABSS has a clear bag policy for all athletic events. Please make sure that if you plan to bring a bag into any athletic event the bag must be clear. Thank you in advance for your help with this policy.
Cafeteria Account
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.

As always, thank you for your support of Southeast Alamance High School. Have a great week.
