SE Spartan Announcements

Good Morning Southeast students and staff. It's Friday, May 2nd, 2025! I’m _____________. 

Remember that successful Spartans ARE RESPECTFUL, they follow classroom and school-wide expectations, allow for learning throughout the building, and can think critically.

And now for a moment of silence to start our day…Thank you.

Attention students taking AP exams! If you are taking an AP exam, you must arrive on time with a fully charged school-issued computer! The exams are digital; therefore, you are responsible for bringing a fully charged computer and charger. We DO NOT provide computers or chargers, as each student is assigned a device and charger. Each student was given a reminder slip about their exam time and location!

Any senior interested in getting their cap and gown picture taken, Grussenmeyers Photographer will be here before the Awards Ceremony on Wednesday, May 14 from 5:00-5:45 in the Taylor Street Lobby. Order forms are in the main office and a link to the order form is on the school's website. This is a great way to get a professional picture taken at a reasonable cost!  Bring your payment on that day or bring it to Mrs. Laub in room 208 ahead of time!

Now, for a short video about our May reading challenge from Mrs. Thompson.

Boys and girls, I know the weather is getting nicer out, but the dress code must still be followed. 

PLEASE no short shorts and skirts, or crop tops. All shorts or skirts per dress code need to be mid thigh or longer!

Also, if you are going to wear a dress with a sweater over it, you must keep that sweater ON AT ALL TIMES, even at lunch on the courtyard, if the dress top does not meet dress code rules.
