Special Olympics has been moved to Friday, May 2nd due to the forecasted rain. We will have the spirit days next week!
Good Evening Warriors! This is Kristan Gallimore with your weekly message. Thank you for your understanding and patience with the morning car rider line and afternoon dismissal. Please continue to encourage students to get out of the vehicle once they reach the sidewalk. Many students are doing this and it is greatly helping our line. This week brings several sporting events, April's Freaky Friday and more. Students who have not received ISS or OSS from March 28th to April 25th will be able to attend this Friday. All students will be eligible in May. Our t-shirt and hat sale kicked off this week. Purchase Warrior merch to support our school and raise money for athletics. The website to order is linked here and all orders are due on May 7th. I have shared a poster highlighting all of the end of year dates on our school website and Facebook page. Be sure to check it out and mark your calendars. Dates for the spring band concert, sports and academic awards, EOGs, field day and more are all listed. May 5th-9th is Staff Appreciation Week at Southeastern. Join me in celebrating all of our staff members including teachers, teacher assistants, office staff, custodians, cafeteria workers, media, counselors and coaches that week. If you would like to do something special for any of our staff members, please email me at kristan.gallimore@stokes.k12.nc.us. The Warrior staff are the heartbeat of our school and deserve to be celebrated. This Friday is the Stokes County Special Olympics and we want you to celebrate with us by participating in spirit days leading up to the games. This Wednesday join us by wearing blue for Autism Awareness. Thursday is Spectrum Awareness Day and you can celebrate by wearing all of the colors of the rainbow. Friday is the big day so rock your yellow and gold to show off Warrior Pride. This year's Special Olympics will be held at SSHS. I hope that everyone had a terrific Easter weekend. Rest up, I cannot wait to see students tomorrow morning! GO WARRIORS!

Good Evening Warriors! This is Kristan Gallimore with your weekly message. This week is a short one as there will be no school for students and staff on Friday in honor of the Easter holiday. Students and parents, we need your help in the morning and afternoon car rider line. We have several students being dropped off in the parking lot instead of the actual car rider line. This should not be happening for any students unless the student has a physical limitation that prevents it. Dropping off in the parking lot is a safety concern for students crossing the car lanes and it is not fair to the parents who are waiting in line properly. This should not be happening in the afternoons at dismissal either. We will be placing traffic cones out to block off this area and will have our SRO outside assisting with this as well. The car rider line could speed up greatly if students would get out of the vehicle once they are at the sidewalk. Warmer weather is here and unless it is raining, we should be able to unload at least 4 or 5 vehicles at a time. Parents and guardians, please help us with this by reminding students to get out at the sidewalk and in a timely manner. Vehicles should also not pass each other when students are unloading as we have students getting out on both sides of the car. If you do not want to wait in the line, the morning drop off has less traffic from 7:40 to 7:55 and the afternoon line has slowed down by 3:25. Students should also not be dropped off behind C building. Please reach out to me or Mr. Jones if you have any questions or concerns about these expectations. I hope that everyone had a wonderful weekend at home. As always thank you for your continued support and cooperation. I cannot wait to see students and staff tomorrow morning. GO WARRIORS!!

We will welcome a special visitor to campus on Friday. Senator Dana Jones will be touring our school and learning about middle school life on Friday and we cannot wait to host her.

Good Evening Warriors! This is Kristan Gallimore with your weekly message. I want to thank each of you for your patience and understanding as we navigated the weather this past week. I am hoping this coming week is full of warmer temperatures and sunshine. This week brings a lot of sports information and things to remember. Tomorrow night is our spring sports meeting for parents at 5:30 in the big gym. Please make plans to attend. Spring sports kick off on Tuesday and we have our first home games for baseball and softball on Thursday. For spectators who park on Summit Street, please be prepared to walk to the gate and pay for entry or pay when an administrator comes around to check for ticket stubs. The money we earn from ticket sales to our sporting events directly impacts our student-athletes and allows us to purchase equipment such as baseballs, softballs, stop watches, line paint, uniforms and more. Our spring blood drive is on Wednesday, March 5th and we hope that you will consider donating. Southeastern receives $10 per unit if we can collect 30 units of blood. Save a life and support our school in one stop! I hope that each of you had a wonderful weekend. Thank you so much for supporting our students and our staff. We cannot wait to see you tomorrow.
