FEDERAL IMPACT AID
Thank you to everyone that has already submitted theirs!!! For those who have not yet, it will only take a second to do and works best on a computer not a phone.
It is Federal Impact Aid Survey time!
Every year our district is required to pick a day in the fall and conduct the Federal Impact Aid Survey. This year it was October 27th. We are required to have 100% of the families enrolled on that day verify the survey. This is how our District receives its Federal funding.
Please log into your Skyward for each student and follow the link for Federal Impact Aid Survey at the top. Verify that all the information is correct and then Submit.
If anything needs correcting, like a rank change or moved, please let the office know and we can make the change then you can submit.
We are in a competition with the other schools to be the FIRST to complete 100% of the Surveys!!! We have done it 4 years in a row - let's make it a 5th year!! The Classes have competition going between them as well for the first Class and Pod completed for a popcorn party!!! One class is almost complete with only 2 students remaining!
Thank you for your assistance!

November Health Tips From Nurse Anna
November - National Diabetes Month
Dear Parents/Guardians,
November is National Diabetes Month, a time to educate communities about diabetes. This year’s focus is on taking action to prevent diabetes. Diabetes is a disease that occurs when your blood glucose (blood sugar) is too high. It affects about 37 million Americans, including adults and youth. Diabetes can damage the eyes, kidneys, nerves, heart and it is linked to some types of cancer.
But there’s good news: Taking charge of your health may help prevent diabetes such as planning healthy meals, being physically active and getting enough sleep. Establishing and maintaining a healthy lifestyle and maintaining a healthy weight are important in reducing your risk of developing diabetes.
Healthy goals can be reached by following the 5-2-1-0 rule each day. Every day we should strive to eat five servings of fruits or vegetables, get two hours or less of screen time per day, move our bodies in a healthy way for one hour every day, and drink zero sugary beverages. If this sounds like too much, start small and slowly increase these important goals into your family’s lifestyle.
Eisenhower students will have hearing and vision screenings November 6th, 7th and 8th. If your student wears glasses/contacts, please remind them to wear them during their screening. Results will be in their backpacks.
Enjoy the beautiful fall weather.
Be well,
Anna Robinette, RN
