January 7th School Day at SEP Junior High


Southeast Polk Junior High Parents and Students-

I hope the new year has started off in a good way for you and you enjoyed the Holiday Season!  Hard to believe but we will be entering the 3rd quarter and half way done with the 2012-2013 school year.

Due to the snow days prior to Holiday Break we wanted to clarify where we will be at when the students return on January 7th (Monday).  We will begin the 3rd quarter/2nd semester on Monday.  Monday will be a Black Day and classes will resume at normal time (7:35 a.m. Advisory).

 Some teachers need to finish a few assessments that they had planned to complete on the two snow days prior to Holiday Break.  This will lead to a slight delay of sending out report cards for the first semester.  We apologize for this but feel it is the best for the students. 

We look forward to seeing the students on Monday!  If any questions arise feel free to contact us at the SEP Junior High Office at 515-967-5509.
