Lunch changes for the 23-24 school year!

Due to class utilization, the library is no longer open to students during lunch. We still allow students to eat in the commons, cafeteria and courtyard. If you need to study, or just want a quiet place to relax and eat lunch, the silent lunch rooms will be open. Lunch A will be held in 127. You must arrive by 11:15. Lunch B will have silent lunch in room 209, you must arrive by 12:10, or you will not be allowed to attend that day. 

Have you heard of the Peace Room yet, here at Southeast? This is a safe and confidential mental health space for any student to utilize during the school day for drop-in emotional support, mental health educational materials and resources, and connection to ongoing counseling services if needed. The Peace Room is available to all students-Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday each week, run by a Memorial Behavioral Health Licensed therapist. Please see Mrs. Coley in the Peace Room with any questions!

Attention from the health office!! If you have your physical and immunization papers with you at school, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE bring them to the nurse's office, Room 125 today. If you forgot them at home, bring them to the nurse tomorrow. We need those forms ASAP. 

Just a reminder, all first-year freshmen have to have had a physical between September 2022 and September 2023. All seniors have to have had a meningococcal vaccine after their 16th birthday. Any student new to district 186 has to submit a physical and immunization record.

Spartans—it’s hard to believe but Homecoming will be here before you know it.  Get that dress and get that date.  The homecoming dance is Saturday, September 23 from 7-9 here at Southeast High School.  Tickets are $10.  If you are bringing a date that does NOT attend Southeast,  you MUST fill out a date request form.  These can be found in the main office and are due back by Wednesday, September 20.  Any questions, please see Mrs. Barcik in Room 103. 

Attention all students that drive a vehicle to school.  Parking spaces are still available for purchase in the Main Office before and after school or at lunch time.  The fee is $30 for the school year.  You will be given a designated parking space to use for the school year.  If you have not purchased a space then you must park on the street.  Violators will be towed at their own expense.

Attention Juniors and Seniors, do you believe in restorative justice? Are you a critical thinker who wants to improve your community through education and restoration as opposed to punishment? If so, you may make a great teen court juror. Applications can be picked up in the student office and are due back to Mr. Z by 9/1/23. For more info, visit Mr. Z during lunch in the cafeteria.

Are you over the age of 16, employed or looking for employment, and interested in developing leadership ability? If so, Future Leader Pathways of Central Illinois is for you! District 186 and our strategic partners will provide training that will enhance your ability to make informed decisions regarding future careers, as well as provide targeted training that will develop leadership skills based on your personal goals, but also applicable in many aspects of student and professional life.
