This year, teachers will keep track of students without badges.
- If a student does not have their badge for a third day, the student will be sent to the office at the beginning of their recess.
- Students will call their parents to make a plan to have a badge the following day.
- If they do not have their badge (or $5.00 for a replacement) the following day, students will return to the office at the beginning of their recess. This will continue until an appropriate plan has been made and implemented.

Breakfast and lunch are served daily. Breakfast starts at 8:20 AM. Please refer to the monthly menu for specific meal selections. Menus are available here.
Park Hill offers automated prepayments to a child’s meal account via telephone or internet. Money can be applied to a child’s food service account so children will not need to carry cash to school. If you do not have your child’s meal pay number, please contact the office. Adults using this system may also view a child’s purchases, account activity and set up e-mail notifications for low account balances. Please note: A $2 service fee is charged per transaction regardless of the amount being added to the account. However, money can be applied to multiple student accounts for a single transaction fee. If that is not your preference, payment envelopes are available in the cafeteria. Parents who would like to set up a School Café Account can go to www.schoolcafe.com. You must have your student’s school, ID number, and birthdate to establish a School Café account.
An application of free/reduced meal pricing is available in the school office or on the School; Cafe online system. We encourage everyone who qualifies to complete an application.

If you do not want your child’s image or information used for these purposes, please request and fill out an “opt out” form with the school office. In addition, Southeast’s PTA publishes a school directory.

Southeast Health Room
A health room is available if your child becomes ill or injured while at school. All nonprescription, over-the-counter medication must be sent in the original container with a written request by the parent or physician. If for any reason your child is on medication, the medication must be in a prescription labeled bottle accompanied by a doctor’s note, before it can be administered. The Medication Authorization Form must be completed and signed by the parent or guardian for all medications given at school. It is recommended that medication NOT be sent to school with children. Parents should bring the medication to the health room at school. The Southeast Registered Nurse, Cassie Grantham, will be available at Back to School Night to answer any questions you might have. Please keep her updated throughout the school year of any newly occurring/changes in health conditions, medications, or injuries that might result in restrictions, such as not being able to participate in P.E.
Birthday Treats
Birthday treats are always something students enjoy sharing with classes. In an effort to maximize instructional time and minimize food in classrooms, we enjoy serving birthday treats in the cafeteria during the students scheduled lunch time. Students may bring the treats to school with them, or parents can drop them off in the office. Students will pick them up on their way to the cafeteria to serve to classmates.
Reminder: All treats must be store-bought, pre-packaged items.
Do You Know A Park Hill Star?
The Park Hill Star recognition program was started in 2015 to celebrate support staff and teachers whose work is especially noteworthy.
The following is an overview of the Park Hill Star Program:
Our employees are the reason we are so successful here in the Park Hill School District, and we would like to recognize them for all they do for our students.
That is why we present the Park Hill Star award once a month to a pre-K or elementary teacher, a secondary teacher and a support employee.
Southeast Communication
You will find several ways to stay up to date on school activities throughout the year on the Southeast website , Facebook, Twitter and newsletters from your child’s teacher. You will also occasionally get an automated email or voicemail message sent to you by the school with important information and reminders. We know two-way communication is best, so please feel free to call, email, or stop by the school with any questions you may have regarding your child’s education.
