Dear Parents,

As most of you know; we completed the OCCT tests during this last month. We are pleased to announce we tested 100% of our 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students and all worked very diligently. Please join us in celebrating with your children this accomplishment!

The Eisenhower staff recently nominated and voted to choose the Area V Spring Award Recipients. Congratulations to the following members of our community: Caden Broussard, 5th Grade girl, Cameron Cross, 5th Grade boy, Leonardo DeAndrade, Certified Personnel, Milagros Monsalve, Support Personnel, and Kathy Brittingham, Parent Volunteer. All five of our recipients were recognized in a special ceremony and each received a medal! Congratulations again!

Recently, there have been many questions regarding the EIS Uniform Policy. If you need a current copy of the policy; please stop by the office and pick one up. A few highlights of the policy are: Safe shoes only (no open toes, open heels or sandals), solid color belts with pants that have loops, straight legged twill pants (navy or khaki), Capri pants (navy or khaki), or shorts (navy or khaki), skirts (navy, khaki, or EIS plaid), tights (navy or white), and plain straight legged dark denim pants. Please remember no jean shorts or jean skirts.

As spring time approaches and more children are outside playing; let’s all make a concentrated effort to ensure the safety of our children. Please remember if you are using the Service Center parking lot to park your car and walk across to the playground to drop off or pick up your children. Also, please do not let the children cross the road in front of the school. This is a busy road and is extremely dangerous. Please park along the curb or use the north parking lot to drop off and pick up.

Parents are welcome and encouraged to be at school. We do ask that each parent sign in at the office upon entering the building. This is to ensure the safety of all the children. Please remember teachers are available to meet with any parents however we encourage our parents to make appointment with our staff. Thank you for your cooperation.

Sincerely,
Stacy Strow
