Welcome to the
2021-2022
School Year!
Dear Eisenhower Families,
It is hard to believe that the new school year is already upon us. Our staff is hard at work preparing classrooms and readying materials.
As with last year, Early Childhood students will enter through the back library doors, kindergarten students will enter through our main entrance, and first grade students will enter through our back playground doors.
Please see below for more information about grade level drop-off/pickup and supply lists.
On Monday, August 6th, 8:15-8:45 AM, we will have a sneak peek for families. In order to provide appropriate social distancing, teachers will be stationed outside, while families can go inside and visit the classrooms.
*Early Childhood Teachers will be stationed near the
back circle lot.
Tables will be located outside of early childhood and first grade classrooms for supply drop-off.
*Kindergarten supplies will be collected during kindergarten family meetings August 18th - 25th.
On Saturday, August 21st our D23PTO will be hosting kindergarten playdates at our school playground. Let’s get our incoming Kindergarteners together for a playdate at the school playground! We want your student(s) to become familiar with their new school and to make some friends. The children can enjoy the playground equipment made possible through fundraising and donations the PTO received from our generous members and supporters.
- 10 AM - 11 AM: AM Kindergarten, Bilingual, & SAIL Classes
- 11 AM - 12 PM: PM Kindergarten & Full Day Classes
This event is outdoors and therefore masks are optional.
In the event of rain, we will meet August 22nd at the above listed times.
Additional Information:
- The Prospect Heights Public Library will be present to help your kindergartener apply for a library card. Just in time for the September raffles at the library!
- The Prospect Heights Park District will be sharing some information on upcoming programs such as the Block Party!
- Boys Scout and Girl Scout Troop Leaders will be available to share information about joining the pack/troop.
