Welcome to Transition Central!

Exciting times are ahead as we embark on a significant milestone in the Southeast Polk journey to continue our tradition of building greatness! We are busy preparing our transition to our new middle school and restructuring the Jr. High and High School. This restructuring represents our growth as a district and our communities’ commitment to providing an even better learning experience for our students.

We invite you to stay connected and follow our journey. Be sure to check this page for regular updates, behind-the-scenes glimpses, and important announcements as we navigate this exciting transition together.

We’re grateful for our Southeast Polk communities’ ongoing support, and we are already looking forward to next school year!

Work on the building continues. We expect to take occupancy in June. The summer will be spent moving in and preparing for students to arrive. Classes will begin in the building on August 23, 2024.

Check back later this spring as we finalize the Middle School transportation and drop off – pick up information.
