Eisenhower Traffic Study

April 11th-21st

Dear Eisenhower Families, 

Last year, District 23 completed a traffic study and implemented a trial for drop-off and pick-up traffic at Ross and Sullivan. The data and feedback received from that trial led to a revised solution that has been successfully implemented this year. While a long term solution for Eisenhower is being proposed in the April 4 referendum, a short term solution has also been identified as necessary.

We will implement a two week trial period April 11th-21st. Bus and car traffic at Eisenhower will be redirected to make better use of our parking lots to improve safety, ease congestion, and enhance efficiency in the lots. The graphic below highlights the change in traffic flow.

We have identified three goals/strategies that we believe will make our drop-off and pick-up procedures more efficient and much safer:

1. Separate bus and car traffic
2. Create parent “kiss and drive” drop-off/pick-up loop
3. Minimize parking and walking through lots and traffic

We ask parents to please pull up as far as they can towards the front traffic cone. The cone will be located about 20' from our front parking lot's exit Stop Sign. Since all of our students ride in car seats, parents will need to exit their cars and please come to the flagpole area to pick up their child.

Once your child is loaded in your car, you may pull out to the left of the two-lane car lane and exit the parking lot.

We ask that everyone please pull out very slowly.

We also ask that you please position your child's car seat on the right-hand side of the rear passenger seat.

Have a Wonderful Weekend,

Your Eisenhower Family

Luke Lambatos, Ed.D., Ed.S.

Principal

The April 4 election, which will include a referendum for a D23 limiting rate tax increase is just over two weeks away, immediately after Spring Break.

You can request a mail ballot today, vote early beginning on March 20, or vote on Election Day, April 4. Learn more about voting and voter registration at https://www.cookcountyclerkil.gov/elections.

Proceeds from a successful referendum will be used to install security cameras and replace aging siding, windows, and doors at all four District schools. The exterior improvements would provide a more secure perimeter, enhance energy efficiency, extend the useful life of existing facilities, and reduce costly emergency repairs. 

Eisenhower School will be renovated and expanded so all eligible in-district students can attend full-day Kindergarten. A more secure entrance will be added so visitors can be properly screened before they enter the building and traffic flow will be adjusted to improve pedestrian and vehicular safety.

Information about the ballot measure, including a tax calculator can be found on the Building a Better 23 website. 

Please join us for the final informational meeting at MacArthur School on Wednesday, Mar. 22, 2023 at 6:00pm.

This year, District 23 is completing a review and update of our Strategic Plan. Your voice and input are needed to help define the goals and action steps for our schools and community over the next 5 years.

This is a different survey, asking different questions that the 5Essentials you may have recently completed. We ask that you take a few minutes to complete this brief Strategic Plan Survey to share your thoughts and ideas.

Dear Eisenhower Families, 

We are trying to identify children who will be attending kindergarten in the fall of 2023.

All children who will be five (5) years old on or before September 1, 2023 are eligible.

Parents who will be enrolling their child for kindergarten in District 23 will be required to provide a certified copy of the student’s birth certificate. 

In addition, three (3) current proofs of residency, a current physical with immunizations, and a vision and dental exam are also required. Birth certificate and proofs of residency are required when registering. 

Health requirements should be met prior to the first day of School.

Parents of eligible children will need to contact our school office at 847-870-3875

prior to the registration dates. At that time, we will collect information from you

regarding your child.

More detailed information/forms will then be mailed to those families who have contacted us.

Kindergarten registration will take place at Eisenhower School, 1 N. Schoenbeck Rd., Prospect Heights, IL 60070

(at the corner of Camp McDonald and Schoenbeck Rds.)

We look forward to seeing you and your child!
