Eisenhower Update – November & December

Hello Community,

November is quickly flying by and we wanted to give you some updates from Eisenhower.

Feed Your Mind was a great evening.  Thank you to all the families that came out to see our music performances and stopped by the classrooms to join in the activities! This week is “Rally for Respect Week”. Each class has participated in activities to prevent bullying and ‘Rally for Respect’.  Ask your child about how the activities are going and how they decorated their Homeroom doors!
For student absences, please call 847-357-5502, to report the absence prior to 8AM.  Also, should your child be out for an extended period, please contact our school nurse, Mrs. Harte, in regards to returning to school and doctor’s notes.

MAP testing is 11/28 & 12/5- For 7^th grade reading and math. MAP testing is 11/29 & 12/6-For 8^th grade reading and math.  This test is an important progress monitor of your child’s progress in reading and math.  Students goals were set in Fall and shared with parents at conferences.  We will be updated students goal setting sheets and strive to meet our goal of being a 95/95 building!

Boys Basketball and Cheerleading season is in full swing.  Eisenhower 7^th and 8^th grade teams are currently in 1^st place.  Come see our Eagles play and support us on Tuesday, November 29^th for our ‘Pack the Place’ game day against Frost Junior High.
