November 2005

Dear Parents:

We will kick off the month of November by having our Fall Parent Teacher Conferences on November 3rd and 4th. If you have not already done so, please schedule your conference with your child’s teacher today! Report cards will be distributed at these conferences. Our goal is to have 100% participation!

The second quarter began on October 27th. We are setting another goal and encouraging every student to have “Perfect Attendance”. Remember, to qualify for perfect attendance a student may not be tardy or leave early. We will hand out certificates for 1st Quarter Perfect Attendance at the November 7th Rise and Shine Assembly.

Tuesday, November 8th is the TPS Bond Election. Please remind your family members, neighbors and everyone you know to get out and vote!

We would like to invite you to the November 14th Rise and Shine Assembly to join us in celebrating Eisenhower winning the Exemplary Award!

On November 15th our students are in store for a wonderful treat! Thanks to Alan and Janet Hasegawa all of our students will be able to see the Tulsa Opera perform “Rusalka” right in our own gym! Thank you Alan and Janet!

Congratulations to the following EIS members for being selected as the Area V Award Recipients: Robin Martinet (certified position), Mae Terry (support position), Giselle Willis (5th Grade student), and Kathy Ostrem (parent volunteer). All will be recognized on Thursday, November 17th at the Area V Ceremony at Kendall Whittier.

A special thank you goes out to Mrs. Emily Wood and all the families who were directly involved with the Spanish Exchange this year. It is coming to a close and it has been a smashing success! The entire school has benefited from this event and we could have not done it without you! The EIS Ambassadors will return home on November 20th at 11:47 am and the SLP Ambassadors will leave on November 26th at 3:03pm. We will have a “Welcome Home/Farewell” Assembly on November 22nd at 2:15 P.M. Again, thank you for giving so much and helping us with this program!

We want to wish you and your family a “Happy Thanksgiving”. Remember, we will not have school on November 23rd, 24th, and 25th due to the holiday!

Thank you for your continued support!

Stacy Strow, Principal
