2019-2020 Academic Calendar

October

Students Tape Principal To Wall

Eisenhower Elementary School students raised more than $500 for the P.T.A.   Each student who contributed at least $1.00, received a piece of duct tape to help stick Principal Dave Martin to the wall in the school lobby.  

Graduates Return to Eisenhower

Graduating seniors from Central and West returned to Eisenhower to say thank you to their former teachers and visit one last time.  The graduates paraded around the building to the cheers of the students.

Dismissal and Security Procedures

With our increased focus on school security, we are working on ways to account for every student as they enter and leave the building. The first day with kindergarten is always stressful as people learn our pickup and drop off process. Please be patient, as safety is paramount as we move forward. Crowded corridors and parents coming into the building to pick up their students creates issues as we try to get students where they need to go. Our car pickup line is the way we account for every student getting a ride home. That is the system we have used and it has been effective. Please use this method as many do. We feel if our parents will patiently and calmly follow this procedure, we will more efficiently get students to their destination.

We are no longer using the back gym doors to enter into the building.
