Eisenhower Fly-er

Message from the Principal
Hard to believe, but Tuesday is the last day of the first quarter! It has been a great start!
We will begin the 2nd quarter on Wednesday. We have mentioned before that our building is designed to be a transitional experience from elementary school to the Junior High. One of those transitions involves changing classes at the quarter. Students will change their Connections classes for 2nd quarter. Connections changes can be found on a sticker in the front of your student's agenda. Students will have those early this week. We have had many good memories and great learning opportunities during the first quarter! We are excited to be able to offer your student different opportunities each quarter!
Another transitional portion of our building is found in the area of classroom parties. At the Intermediate School, we do not have Halloween parties and we do not dress up for Halloween at school. However, we will have a fall celebration at our next rewards day. We ask that snacks are not sent in. Our teachers plan fun activities for our celebration days.
We are also having our Halloween Bash this year. Please see the important information below about registration for the Halloween Bash! Please note, as well, that in order to attend the Halloween Bash, school fees must be paid.
With Veterans Day approaching, we would like to invite your student to invite an important Veteran in their life to our Veterans Breakfast and assembly on November 11th. Please send the form below in asap. We look forward to our celebration!
It is the time of the year when the weather changes and many are in need of coats, hats, and shoes. The Old Newsboys is very generous to us each year through their donation of those items. If your Eisenhower student is in need of these items, please contact Mr. Holcombe via e-mail (tholcombe@oregoncs.org) or via telephone (419.836.8498, ext. 2002). If you are aware of other families and/or students in need, please contact Mr. Holcombe.
Sincerely,
Tim Holcombe

Please park in the lot on the west side of CHS (Lot A) and enter through door #37 for a thrilling and spooky evening!

Power School Grades
As you know, we start 2nd quarter on Thursday and final grades will be posted by the end of the day October 23rd.
The dates throughout the quarter that grades must be posted are listed on our yearly calendar. However, feel free to check Power School more often as many grades are posted more frequently than the posted dates.
At Eisenhower, we are working on students becoming more responsible for their work and, as a result, their grades. Your regular checking of progress is important. We ask, however, that you ask your student to find answers to grades that are posted.
Some have Power School settings set to notify you daily of your students' grades. This is resulting in e-mails to teachers prior to students having reviewed the test, having an opportunity to request a retest, etc. It is important that students communicate their progress to you and, with your guidance, seek answers to questions.
Attendance Raffles
Starting on October 18, we will begin Friday attendance raffles. Five students from 5th grade and five from 6th grade will be selected as winners and announced during the morning announcements. If the students have maintained green status on their attendance trackers, they can take their trackers to the nest and claim a prize!
Parent/Teacher Conferences on November 6th and 7th!
Communication on a regular basis is essential. One method we use to communicate is Parent/Teacher Conferences. The way we will handle Parent/Teacher Conferences this year will be different than the way they were done in elementary and are transitional in nature.
On Monday, October 21st, please contact Mrs. Hanthorn at shanthorn@oregoncs.org to schedule a conference. We would love to meet with you!
We will have conferences November 4th from 5:00--8:00. We will also have conferences during the day on November 5th from 8:00--3:15 and in the evening from 4--7.
Conferences will be scheduled for 15 minutes. You will have the opportunity to meet with all of your child’s teachers at once if that is desirable. We will ask that all conferences stick to the scheduled time. We want to be available to you so if you do not schedule a conference time, are not able to get one, or do not have enough time during your conference, please let us know and we will work to find a time to meet with you. Again, communication is extremely important to us.

Other News
- We have a current volunteer opportunity. We are looking for 1-2 people would would be willing to come in weekly for a couple of hours to make copies for classrooms. This would be a great support. If you are interested, please email Ms. Cuttaia, our school secretary, at ncuttaia@oregoncs.org. Thank you!
- Please remember that the final Camp Payment of $240 is due on November 1st. If it is not paid in full at that point, the deadline for the late payment of $260 is December 4th. Please contact Mr. Holcombe with any questions. Camp Payment link is at the bottom of this Fly-er.
- There are times throughout the year when we will have two-hour delays. Our lunch periods shrink to 28 minutes on two-hour delays, and depending on the menu, serving time can be tight. There are times when we will not open the Snack Shack on those days. This would mean that students who pack lunches would need to bring a drink on those days and not rely on the Snack Shack.
- Please note that the front doors at Ike are locked at 3:00 pm. Please use the side doors if you are entering the building after 3:00. Thank you!
