Why does good attendance matter? Because every school day is an opportunity to learn, connect, and stay on track!

Consistent attendance helps students build strong routines, keep up with learning, and make the most of their school experience. Even a few missed days can add up over time.

When students are healthy, making school attendance a priority helps set them up for success. 🌟

The Southeast Delco School Board business meeting will take place Thursday, September 24, at 6:00pm. The meeting will be held at the Educational Services Center.

Make every minute count this school year! ⏰

Being present and on time every day makes a big difference in student success. Instruction begins as soon as the school day does. When students miss school or arrive late, they miss valuable learning time that can be difficult to make up.

Starting the day on time helps students be ready to learn from the very beginning.

As members of our community observe Yom Kippur, we recognize this sacred time for reflection and peace. May the day bring moments of meaning and renewal.

Reminder: There will be no school on Monday, September 21, for the Yom Kippur holiday. Classes will resume on Tuesday.

Hispanic Heritage Month is an opportunity to recognize the many ways Hispanic and Latino Americans have enriched communities across the country.

From September 15 through October 15, we honor their cultures, histories, traditions, and contributions. 🌎

We are wishing a happy Rosh Hashanah to all who celebrate in our school community. May the new year bring peace, joy, good health, and meaningful moments with family and friends. 🍎

Today, we honor the lives lost and all those affected by the events of September 11, 2001. We also remember the courage and resilience demonstrated by people and communities across our country. 🇺🇸

The Southeast Delco School District is reviewing how technology is used to support teaching and learning across grade levels.

As part of this process, we are seeking feedback from families regarding technology use in our schools. Please take a few minutes to complete our brief survey and share your thoughts.

Your feedback will help inform future decisions regarding the role and use of technology in our schools.

REMINDER: There will be no school for Southeast Delco students on Friday, September 4, and Monday, September 7. We’ll see you again on Tuesday! 👋

Every school day brings opportunities to learn, connect with friends, and build confidence. During Attendance Awareness Month, try these simple ways to support strong attendance:

✅ Create a predictable morning routine
✅ Get school materials ready the evening before
✅ Encourage students to look forward to something each school day
✅ Reach out to your school if your family needs attendance support

Working together can help students feel prepared, connected, and ready for a great year!

The big day is here, Southeast Delco! 🎒📚

We’re excited to welcome our students and staff back for a fresh start filled with learning, connections, and new opportunities. Have a fantastic first day of school!
