Eisenhower Elementary

Eisenhower Elementary would like to remind you that because we have no school on Friday, October 13th, please ensure your student is in proper school uniform dress code tomorrow, as jeans are reserved for Fridays only.

Good morning! Spirit of Survival, race to support cancer patients, is coming up Sunday, October 1, 2017!! We have been encouraging students to participate in the Superhero Kids Marathon that will be at 2pm at Elmer Thomas Park. Sign up forms went out with students a couple weeks ago and extras went out last week. We do not need these forms back. However, the forms give specific instructions on how to sign up and pay for you and your child/children to participate. We are going to be meeting at a specific location day on race day so we can all walk the last 1.2 miles together. It will be at your own fitness/comfort level though. The cost is $10 to participate and money goes towards helping cancer patients. After the walk, kids will have a FREE pass to Superhero Kids Zone with lots of inflatables, face painting, and more!! For more information and to register, please visit www.spiritofsurvival.com. Another text will be going out closer to race day with more info on where to meet up with Eisenhower Elementary group. Hope to see you all there!

As you may have heard, LPS has purchased a new reading curriculum. Our old curriculum, reading street is still up-to-date on skills and strategies that your child is currently learning. Reading Street is a great resource and could be extremely beneficial. We have decided to send home textbooks and workbooks with our students. Once you receive these resources they are yours to keep and do with what you wish. We hope that your child can put the textbooks and workbooks to good use and continue their learning at home!

Please remember that school does not start until 8:45 AM. There arr no adults supervising your students when you drop them off before then. We have extended day for a fee, and that is the only safe option for your child if you drop them off before 8:45 AM and leave. Thank you for helping us keep your children safe.

Attention Parents, we recieved notifcation from transportation that bus 621 is out of service and we will be utilizing bus 602. If your student rides bus 621 there will be a delay in their arrival to their bus stop today due to bus 602 running a double route.

This year we have started our new carline. Thank you for all the compliments and encouragement. As you know starting something new can be challenging. The encouragement has let us know we are doing the right thing. Please discuss at home what permanent mode of transportation you will be using to pick up your child. You can use the Carline. When using the Carline you do not get out of the vehicle. Students will be brought to you. The bus is still available for bus riders, as well as the daycare vans. You always have the option to park, walk towards the front of the school, and get your child as well. We will be sending home a note on Friday for you to make that decision as a family what works best for you. We are looking for a permanent decision on what you will be using for the rest of the school year. We know that emergencies occur and changes will happen, but we need a more consistent list to ensure the safety of ALL students. Also, having a permanent solution for the end of day transportation will be beneficial to parents as well. Thank you so much!

Happy Monday! Please remember you have two choices when picking up your child. 1. You can use the carline. Please do not get out of your vehicle. A staff member will bring your child to the car once they are called on the walkie-talkie. 2. If you are picking up your child, park your car in the designated areas, walk to the front door area, and let the teacher know that has your child that you are picking them up. Parking options are north of the fence or the far south parking lot south of the play ground. It is critical that you do not park in the bus/daycare lane. The bus/daycare lane on 52nd Street is for a quick and safe dismissal of students. Thank you for your continued support and patience as we implement new procedures. If you have issues with buses please call transportation at 580-248-3255.
