Dear Eisenhower Families,
We want to thank our D23 PTO for our upcoming winter party room parent support. The children always look forward to partaking in all of the fun and exciting crafts and games. In addition, our D23 PTO actively fundraises for our grade level field trips, plans family fun and dining night out events, and coordinates our longstanding tradition of volunteers for our AVIC (Art Volunteers in the Classroom) which provides our students additional opportunities to explore the fine arts.
We also want to thank all of our families for contributing to our Helping Hands holiday gift card drive for needy families. In the immortal words of Charles Dickens,
“We choose this time, because it is a time,
of all others, when want is keenly felt,
and abundance rejoices.”
Your kindness and giving will go a long way in making the holidays merry and bright for many of our families. We also want to thank Mrs. Abra Zaveduk, our school social worker, for organizing this wonderful program in conjunction with the school social workers at Ross, Sullivan, and MacArthur. The holiday giving program allows all four of our schools to work together to support students and families across all grade levels.
Teachers will be collecting all student iPads before students leave for Winter Break. We are pushing out special wallpaper to students the week of December 18th to prepare them for leaving their iPads. See below for the fun wallpaper our teachers and the Tech Department created together to make this fun for students!
Collecting the iPads will allow the Tech Department to ensure all devices are working properly and are connected to the device management system. This also gives our teachers, before and after break, an opportunity to review with students safe and expected use of the district-owned iPads. For our students, this supports our goal of truly making this a break from school. They have worked hard through Trimester I and starting Trimester II, and as we all need breaks, we know it is healthy and needed for our students to get one too!
With that, we need your help with two things to prepare for the iPad collection:
1. Students should have their iPads updated to 17.1.2. Please work with your student to update the iPad this weekend. The iPad should be connected to WiFi and power. This will greatly help to ensure iPads are ready for State testing after Winter Break!
2. If you will be leaving early for Winter Break, please have your student leave the iPad with the teacher.
Eisenhower will collect iPads on Wednesday, December 20th.
Thanks for your help and support so we can make sure students have the tools they need to learn after Winter Break!
Have a Wonderful Weekend,
Your Eisenhower Family
