The second grade class had a Zoom meeting with our Organwise instructor. We love learning about how to make our bodies healthy.


Students have had a chance to visit Southeast yet, and that's why they are giving them the opportunity to learn more about SEMO and the admission process. They are offering daily virtual visits with admission counselors.
Every Monday-Friday at 4 p.m., one of our counselors will be available to chat with students and their parents or guardians about Southeast. They'll be able to answer questions as well.

I hope everyone is enjoying the return to school these past few weeks. We would like to get your feedback as a community on returning to school Monday through Fridays. We have experienced much success with our abbreviated schedule but we also know that getting back into the classroom 5 days a week is essential for the continued success of our students. Please email me with questions, concerns, and feedback, as we gather information to make decisions that are in the best interests of our students. My email address is jdufour@joppa38.com. Thanks so much for your continued support to our students and district.
