This Week's Spotlight
WEEK OF RESPECT
During the week of October 7th - 11th we will be acknowledging the Week of Respect. The goal of this week is to provide the Eisenhower community with the opportunity to recognize the importance of social and emotional learning. Emphasis will be placed on what it means to be respectful with the goal of developing, fostering and maintaining a positive school climate. In addition to the Week of Respect Spirit Days, we will be challenging students each day to engage in some specific actions aimed at fostering a deeper understanding of what it means to be respectful. These Respect Challenges will be shared out each day during homeroom and posted in Schoology. As caregivers, we invite you to review these daily challenges, and take the opportunity to engage in some dialogue around this topic with your children.
i-Ready Testing
i-Ready testing continues this week.
Please ensure that your General brings wired headphones and
a well charged Chromebook to school with them each day.

We would love the opportunity to celebrate them!
