🙌SEP Runnells Elementarykindergartners recently created their own leadership portfolios, and they absolutely shined! 🌟The portfolios, which they shared with their families during parent-teacher conferences, included a section about themselves, their families, their WIG's (Wildly ...Important Goals), a Leader In Me reflection, and a writing sample. It's amazing to see such great leadership skills already developing at such a young age. 🖤💛Way to go Kindergarten Leaders! #1SEP #SuccessForEveryChild

👉️Online Registration for the 2026–2027 School Year Now Open for ALL Southeast Polk Students👈️
Beginning Monday, March 23, 2026, online registration is open for all Southeast Polk students, preschool through 12th grade, for the 2026–2027 school year.

Important change this... year:
In previous years, preschool and kindergarten families registered earlier in February. To simplify the process, online registration will open at the same time for all preschool through 12th-grade students this year. This streamlined approach is designed to reduce confusion and make registration more convenient for parents and guardians. This year, all students will register at the same time, starting on March 23.
