🍿 September: Let’s Get This Poppin’!

📣 Popcorn Day is tomorrow, September 25th!
👉 Send 50 cents with your student to enjoy a fresh bag of popcorn.
🎯 Every kernel supports field trips, teacher appreciation, and more!

As we await finalization of the state budget, we want to provide clarity for our families regarding school breakfast and lunch. Following recent action by our Board of Education, we are pleased to share that, regardless of state-level decisions, our district will continue to provide free breakfast and lunch for all students through December 2025.

Further information about meal program plans beyond that date will be communicated as it becomes available.

We value the importance of ensuring every student has access to these nutritious meals, and we are grateful for the opportunity to continue offering this support to our school community.

✨ Teaching Tuesday! ✨
We’re thrilled to spotlight a familiar face in a brand new role — Ms. Fleis, our new STEM teacher! 🧪🔬💡

Ms. Fleis is no stranger to SE as she previously taught 3rd grade, where her creativity and love for hands-on learning already made a big impact. "I love that my students get to be creative and try new things in STEM! I'm always amazed at the designs students come up with. Everyone is a scientist, computer coder, engineer, designer, and architect in STEM!" 🚀👩‍🏫

We’re so excited to see all the amazing things she’ll do in this new chapter!💙📚

Meet the teachers and staff who will be instructing your students this year! It's going to be a great one!

You couldn't ask for a better day for Hastings Southeastern Elementary's fall cookout! Thanks so much to members of First Presbyterian Church (including some recognizable faces) for volunteering today!

📚 Teaching Tuesday 📚

This week we launched our Science of Reading-aligned instruction model - Walk to Intervention. 🙌

Our 3rd–5th graders are grouped depending on what they need whether it’s decoding, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, or enrichment. It’s all about meeting students where they are and helping them grow as readers with intentional, data-driven instruction.

What makes this even more exciting? It’s an innovative model, one many schools have never used before, grounded in decades of reading science and research. 💡

🎉 Exciting News! 🎉

Our amazing drivers have been visiting school buildings to give bus safety presentations, helping students understand how to travel safely while keeping the ride fun.
