Dear Eisenhower Families,
Our November 2nd and 9th Parent-Teacher Conferences are our first true opportunity to sit down and reflect upon each individual child’s growth. Just as important as earning grades, we are able to discuss their social-emotional progress as well as their classroom participation and level of engagement. Even though assessment data, homework, and in-class assignments play crucial roles in understanding each and every child’s learning development, we always want to make sure that our conversations focus around several fundamental questions that you might want to consider asking:
1) How is my child doing at developing positive interactions with
classmates and forming friendships?
2) Does my child like to participate in whole class and small group
activities/discussions?
3) What are some additional strategies that we can reinforce at home to
help our child attain a specific concept(s) and/or skill(s) development?
As we foster these conversations, you will find your relationship with your own child’s confidence in learning growing. Equally as valuable is the insight it gives our dedicated staff in continuing to nurture your child’s path of lifelong learning.
Also, please remember to read with your child for at least 20-minutes each night. While reading or even sharing conversations, remember to introduce or substitute unfamiliar vocabulary words for everyday common words. Enhance your conversations by speaking to your child with robust, enriching words. Not only will you find them developing more expressive language in the process, which will help to facilitate greater understanding of their social-emotional well-being, but you will unknowingly be doing yourself a far greater favor for your relationship with them when their later adolescent years are upon you.
Parent-Teacher Conferences November 2nd & 9th
We are looking forward to seeing everyone in person at our upcoming parent-teacher conferences on November 2nd and 9th. If for some reason you are unable to attend, please contact your child's teacher about setting up a virtual conference.
Halloween Reminders:
The Eisenhower, Ross, Sullivan annual Halloween Costume Parades will be on Tuesday, October 31st.
The morning early childhood and morning kindergarten classes will parade outside at 10:00 A.M.
The Eisenhower school parade for PM early childhood & kindergarten, full-day kindergarten, and 1st grade classes will begin at 12:00 P.M.
If you wish to view the parades, please assemble along the parade routes.
*Eisenhower will parade from the rear of the school, along the sidewalks, and back into school through the front doors.
Every spot is a good location for pictures!
AM and PM early childhood and AM and PM kindergarten children should wear their costumes to school that day.
Full day kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th & 5th grade students should bring their costumes to school.
Should the weather be cold or rainy, parents may view the parade in the gym. The Eisenhower morning class parties will begin right after the morning early childhood and kindergarten parade. The afternoon class parties will begin at 1:15 P.M. As you think about your child’s costume for our parade, please keep in mind that schools have a heightened and serious concern about students who bring weapons to school. The concern extends to toy weapons - including toy guns, squirt guns, cap guns, martial arts devices, play swords, and knives. Do not allow your child to include any weapons with the costume they bring to wear in the parade or to bring toy weapons to school at any time during the school year. Also, your child’s costume should not include any blood/gore. These guidelines by no means should curtail the fun your child can have at the parade.
