A message from A. Leroy Parks . . .<br />
At the time that you receive this E-Newsletter we will be well into our 3 rd<br />
week of school, and I can’t begin to express to you how exciting it is to have<br />
the school up and alive again after a long hot summer! I can tell that the<br />
students have had a summer full of fun and also of relaxation and are focused<br />
and ready to get down to the business of growing their minds to LEARN! The<br />
staff had a great week of preparation prior to the first week of school, and I<br />
can assure you they are ready to challenge your students to grow, learn and<br />
reflect themselves on their instructional practices, which is a focus of our staff<br />
development process this school year. We begin this school year with high<br />
expectations of ourselves so we can push your student to excel in the classroom,<br />
and we have built a foundation of support for your students so they can<br />
be successful.<br />
I want to personally thank all of the parents who attended our Open House<br />
on Thursday August 26 th and our first annual, Buffalo Nation Celebration – Fall<br />
Sports Kickoff on Saturday August 28 th . Open House was an informal meet<br />
and greet that allowed parents and teachers an opportunity to fellowship in a<br />
relaxed format. When we surveyed parents, our attempt at having a timed<br />
schedule in the past was not well received. The past two years process of<br />
having the informal meet and greet, seemed less stressful, and I know that I<br />
saw several more smiles from parents! I will again put out a survey to ask<br />
parents that attended if you liked the process and also seek feedback for improvements<br />
as we plan for next year.<br />
Our first Buffalo Nation Celebration was pretty well attended for a first try<br />
at it, and we have already booked Chris Cakes to serve pancakes again for us<br />
next year! We had approximately 265 in attendance for this year and we will<br />
be looking to double that for next year. The pancake feed was utilized as a<br />
fundraiser for all of our fall sports programs. The proceeds will be used to<br />
support the programs that participated, as we continue to experience budget<br />
challenges and reductions in school funding. Perhaps you participated and ate<br />

Staff appreciation: a simple way to be<br />
involved<br />

For the past sixteen years, Wendy’s Restaurants have teamed up with the<br />
Heisman Memorial Trophy Committee to create the Wendy’s <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong><br />
Heisman Award. The award honors both male and female high school students<br />
who excel in academics, athletics and student leadership.<br />
Applicant criteria include both male and female student athletes who exhibit<br />
excellence in the classroom, on the playing field, and within their communities.<br />
Eligibility for application is limited exclusively to men and women<br />
whose senior year of high school is the 20<strong>10</strong>–2011 academic year, who have<br />
at least a “B” grade average, and participate in at least one of 27 sports.<br />
They are looking for all student athletes who work hard, are dedicated, and<br />
have become role models for underclassmen.<br />
To apply, please visit www.wendyshighschoolheisman.com. The deadline<br />
to apply is October 3, 20<strong>10</strong>. For more information, please contact Amy Alvarez<br />
in the CCC at aalvarez@usd259.net.<br />

In a joint partnership with Wichita<br />
State University, <strong>Southeast</strong> has the<br />
opportunity to have four cooperative<br />
education students. These students<br />
will be working throughout the building<br />
assisting both teachers and students.<br />
Please help us welcome Katie<br />
Flaming, Kerry Fryhover, Amy Haight<br />
and Michelle McNabb.<br />
Have your student listen for announcements<br />
as we begin both our<br />
AVID and school wide tutoring program.<br />
Tutors will be available before<br />
school, after school and during lunch.<br />
The tutors are college students who<br />
have received additional training in the<br />
AVID tutorial process. Please welcome<br />

placed on the list when they receive two or more Failing grades or F’s in any of their classes. Teachers are required<br />
to post their grades by the end of the day on Thursday’s. The list is then compiled on Friday and distributed to staff<br />
for implementation on the following Monday. A student need ask their administrator, counselor, or their Advocacy<br />
teacher if they are on the list, as we do not post this list publically anywhere in the building for confidentiality reasons.<br />
I will provide monthly data on the Academics First list via this e-newsletter. The Academics First list will begin<br />
with the first distribution list on Monday <strong>Sept</strong>ember 13, 20<strong>10</strong>.<br />
The <strong>Southeast</strong> faculty and staff will again work in the collaborative process to increase the professional dialogue<br />
and discussion to aid in increasing student achievement at SEHS. We commonly refer to the process as Professional<br />
Learning Communities or PLC’s. PLC’s allow each department time to meet and discuss more in depth a guaranteed<br />
and viable curriculum for the benefit of our students. We will use the time to focus more on how our own student data<br />
can help drive our instruction so that we can see the results in our student’s achievement. We started PLC’s on<br />
Wednesday August 25 and will continue the process throughout the remainder of the year. This process does have an<br />
impact on the daily schedule on Wednesday’s, so we have a late start to the normal school day. On Wednesdays we<br />
will start classes at 8:20 a.m. Students that ride buses will experience no change in their routes or schedules and will<br />
arrive as they do currently. Students are supervised during PLC meetings in the building. Because students do arrive<br />
at a normal time and we start our school day later on Wednesday’s, students are required to enter the building as they<br />
do on a regularly scheduled start. Students are NOT ALLOWED to walk to the local area businesses, or visit Curtis<br />
Middle <strong>School</strong>, particularly if they ride a bus to school. <strong>School</strong> administration and security will be monitoring the<br />
parking lot and directing students to enter the building. Please encourage your student to not walk to QuickTrip,<br />
Dillons or Walgreens to get snacks or beverages before school on late start days. I thank you in advance for your<br />
support.<br />
I look forward to meeting as many parents and families as possible as I try to make myself as accessible as<br />
possible to better serve you. It is my belief that parents send their very best to our school each and every day with the<br />
hopes their student will be challenged academically and to learn. It is then our responsibility as educators to ensure it<br />
happens to the best of our ability, on a daily basis. I have challenged myself and our staff with the task of building<br />
Relational Capacity with our students and parents of <strong>Southeast</strong>, to better meet the needs of our students. Relational<br />
Capacity is better defined as the depth that you can go with someone, and the width (topics of conversation that I can<br />
cover with said person) and the value that I can add. Relational Capacity then is actually the capacity within a<br />
relationship to withstand the struggles and issues of life. You have to have Relational Capacity with someone, in<br />
order to give them feedback<br />
The mission of Wichita <strong>Southeast</strong> is to be a professional learning community that provides students with the<br />
knowledge and skills to be productive in our society.<br />
I am proud to be the principal of the school that launched me into my professional life and career choice, many<br />
years ago. I look forward to working with all parents, students and staff to make this year a positive experience for<br />
everyone. Please stay involved in the education of your child and involved in the school.<br />
Respectfully,<br />
A. Leroy Parks, Jr.<br />
