Dear Parents:

Earlier in the month, the 2003-2004 School Report card for our school was sent home. We have received several inquiries about the number of suspensions listed on the report card. We placed a school because even we were a confused with the number. The director of the “Testing and Accountability” office informed me the report card was to be read “There was 1 suspension for every 148.0 students.” Therefore, Eisenhower International had 2 suspensions during the school year, 2003-2004. If you should have any other questions regarding the report card; please call me and we can discuss it further.

The testing for the Gifted and Talented Program is now complete. Please note the students who are already in the GT program and had qualified during their 2nd grade year (Otis Lennon testing) were not re-tested. Also, once a student qualifies for the GT program they do not have to test again. If you should have any questions regarding the GT program; please call me or Senora Moss.

As the school year winds down, I want to personally thank each of our parents. Thank you for entrusting your children to us everyday! Thank you for your support, commitment, and time! We could only do what we do with your support and help!

To our fifth grade students and parents: We won’t say “good-bye”; we will only say “until next time – keep in touch”.

Wishing all of our families a wonderful, fun, relaxing summer and we will see you on August 22, 2004.

Sincerely,
Stacy Strow
