happiness month
Happiness Month is a time dedicated to promoting positivity, gratitude, kindness, and emotional well-being. Celebrated in March, it encourages people to focus on the things that bring joy to their lives and to spread happiness to others through simple acts of kindness, appreciation, and connection. At Eisenhower students have created a mural or what makes them happy. Beginning March 16, students are encouraged to show school spirit through our spirit week.

lost and found
Our lost and found is growing again. If your child is missing any clothing items or a water bottle, please have them check the lost and found soon. Any items that are not claimed after spring break will be donated.
graduation 2026
This year we will be hosting our graduation at 6:30 pm on Thursday, May 21, 2026 at Fremd High School.
We do not issue tickets for graduation. We do ask you to arrive 30 minutes early, so the students have time to line up and you have time to find your seats. There will be some seats available on the floor for people who cannot navigate the bleachers.
The last day of school for eighth-grade students will be that same day, May 21, 2026. On this day, they will be rehearsing for graduation. ALL 8th GRADE STUDENTS MUST BE PRESENT ON THIS DAY.
I will continue to share additional information this spring about graduation and other end-of-the-year celebrations, but for now we wanted you to have this date to mark on your calendar.
track & Field
The registration process for Track & Field is now. Registration and concussion protocols now should be completed online through the Infinite Campus Parent Portal.
HERE are step by step procedures for families to outline the registration process for winter sports through Infinite Campus. Please complete ALL steps in order to finalize the registration process for all sports.
All students planning to participate in winter sports must have a current physical on file with the school nurse. Please note that physical examinations are good for 1 year from the date of the exam. If you have any additional questions about your child’s physical, please contact our school nurse at 847-357-5447.
If you have any questions regarding the fall sports registration process, please contact our main office at 847-357-5500.
Student Drop-Off and Pick-Up Procedure
As the weather gets colder and snow becomes a factor during drop-off and pick-up times, please remember to follow all established procedures for student drop-off and pick-up. For the safety of our students, families, and staff, parents should not use the east side parking lot to drop off students. This area is designated for buses only. When dropping off students in the west parking lot, please make sure to pull your vehicle up to the front of the building when dropping off. This allows more cars to pull in and makes the process more efficient.
Thank you for helping us keep our school community safe.
