Explorer Echo

Welcome to the May 28th, 2025, edition of Explorer Echo.

Dear Southeastern Families,

As we wrap up this school year, we want to take a moment to celebrate all we’ve accomplished together. This has been a year full of growth, learning, and joyful moments. Our students have worked hard, our staff has given their all, and your partnership and support have made all the difference.

Thank you for being part of our school community — for cheering on your children, staying connected, and helping make this a truly successful year. We are so proud of all our students have achieved and can’t wait to see what’s ahead next year!

Wishing you a fun, restful, and safe summer!

Niki Kaminski and Trae Heeter

SES has an amazing PTO! Our PTO organizes many activities and events that help raise much-needed money for our school. Resources raised through our PTO activities each school year help to support teachers' classrooms with supplies, books and curriculum materials. Our PTO produces a newsletter with regularly updated information about events happening in our building. These newsletters will be sent to families via ParentSquare.
