The night will be divided into two different sessions. The first session will start at 5 pm and end at 6 pm. and the second session will begin at 6 pm and end at 7 pm. Each session will be divided into two parts. One presentation will be with the teacher, and the other presentation will be with the Principal and Student Services staff. Please plan to attend!

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. 

Thriving Thursday from the Peace Room:

When thinking about your health, you may tend to think about physical pain or illness, but did you know that mental health is just as important and goes hand in hand with your physical health? Your mental health impacts your physical health and vice versa. Per CDC, over 1 in 5 youth ages 13-18 struggle with their mental health. This number is likely much higher due to unreported cases. Many barriers can prevent people from taking care of their mental health including stigma, cost, and access to mental health treatment. Fortunately, there are things you can do every day to improve your own mental health-Self Care! Here are a few ways you have control over your mental health:

1.      Make a regular sleep routine a priority. 

2.      Decrease your time on social media. 

3.      Make time for a few minutes of mindfulness      or self-reflection. 

4.      Breathe in, and out slowly. 

5.      Talk kindly to yourself and others around you. 

6.      Express gratitude. 

And while you are here at school, if you are feeling overwhelmed, need someone to talk to for support, or want help accessing more mental health resources, please visit your Peace Room Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. This is a calm and safe space for all students at Southeast to utilize.  If you have questions, see Mrs. Coley in the Peace Room or talk to your teacher for more information.
