About Southeast Fountain Elementary School
Southeast Fountain Elementary School has an enrollment of approximately 550 students in grades K-6. We employ 2 administrators, 37 certified teachers, 25 support staff, and 21 bus drivers. The school day lasts from 8:00am - 3:05pm. A breakfast program is available to all students beginning at 7:40am. Part of each day is comprised of RTI (Response To Intervention) and Tier 3 (targeted remediation). All Wednesdays start on a 50-minute delay schedule to accommodate the staff's PLC (Professional Learning Community) time. The Wednesday school day lasts from 9:00am - 3:05pm. Office hours are Monday-Friday from 7:30am - 4:00pm.
Our elementary school was built in 1972. It was designed with an "open concept" layout where each grade level hallway had one large area with no walls dividing the classrooms. In 2005 renovations were started to construct walls for each classroom. Also in 2005, 3 additional kindergarten classrooms were built to accommodate the start of all-day kindergarten. A gymnasium was added in 2007.
Technology plays an integral part in the education of our students. Starting the 2016-2017 school year, every classroom at Southeast Fountain Elementary was given a set of touchscreen Chromebooks to further the technology skills of students and enrich the curriculum. Students and teachers use software such as Acheive3000, BrainPop, IXL, CogAT, Google Apps, i-Ready, Pearson Realize, Raz Kids, Reading Counts, and Waterford Early Education, to name a few. All classrooms are also equipped with projectors, SmartBoards, and ELMO document cameras. Teachers use Harmony School Management Software to enter grades, track attendance and discipline issues, along with a multitude of other uses. Parents can obtain a Harmony login to monitor their child's activities from home.
Each grade level has 3 to 4 teachers. We also have 2 Title I teachers and 2 Special Education teachers to give additional support to students. We have English Learners and Speech departments that provide additional services for students in need. Students have a weekly rotation of activity classes that include art, library, music/band, and physical education. We offer a variety of extra-curricular activities which include boys and girls basketball, art club, band, cheerleading, academic teams, pep club, student council, swimming, football, and wrestling.
Our school is rural and includes the communities of Hillsboro, Kingman, Mellott, Newtown, Stone Bluff, Veedersburg, and Wallace.

Birthday/Celebration Information
Just a reminder if you plan on bringing birthday treats for your student's class, all treats need to be at the school by noon on the day they will be served. If treats arrive after noon, they will be served the following school day. We have lots of students with food allergies and other serious medical conditions and treats must be checked by our school nurse to make sure we keep all of our students safe.
Due to the increase in food allergies and other serious medical conditions, all treats and snacks will be supplied by our staff this year for our holiday celebrations. These celebrations include Halloween, Christmas, and Valentine's Day. Treats brought in by parents will not be served at our holiday celebrations due to the limited amount of time we have on those days to check the vast amount of treats that have been sent in the past.
