As you know, Governor Pritzker extended the stay-at-home order through April 30. The result of this extension means that we will not be able to hold in-person classes until at least May 1. While we are all frustrated with the current situation, we understand the necessity of the order to safeguard our community. To ensure the continued learning and wellbeing of our students, our current Distance Learning Plan and Student Meals will continue through the duration of the school closure.

Dear Eisenhower Families,
The Eisenhower staff would like to thank all of our families for your efforts in participating in our distant learning choice board activities as well as joining us for our Live Classroom Google Meetings. The teachers are thrilled to see the children post their learning on their classroom Seesaw accounts. It keeps us close together and in healthy routines of learning. Please continue reading a story each night and we look forward to seeing more friends in our Century Book Club!
None of this would be possible without your partnership.
Hopefully the weather warms up soon and we can get a little outdoor exercise,
Dr. Lambatos
Principal

Distance Learning Information
I am so proud of the ways that our teachers and staff have fully engaged and attacked this new challenge, and we will push forward with providing instructional activities and connecting with your child. To monitor and modify our current plan, we have convened a committee of dedicated staff, administrators, and parents to ensure the work is sustainable and has the greatest benefit for our students and families. Some of the issues that will be addressed in the committee include workload for students, grading practices, and eventually how we will transition back to in school instruction.
I know this is not the school year any of us imagined, but I want to thank you for your patience and understanding as we have dealt with this unprecedented situation together. With a senior in high school myself, I share in the disappointment and sadness of the disruptions for our 8
th
graders’ last year in D23 and all those who worked hard and looked forward to our fine arts and extra-curricular activities. It is our intention to hold and/or reschedule end of year event including the Commencement ceremony, 5
th
Grade musical, and others.
Our goals and priorities continue to be:
- Feed and care for the extended safety, health, and welfare of students, families, staff, and community at large.
- Communicate clearly; share coherent, organized and controlled messages with staff, students and community.
- Provide for the continuity of learning.
- Provide support and assistance to First Responders and Community as needed.
We ask all parents for the following assistance:
- Please continue to submit attendance daily before 11:00am. If necessary, feel free to submit the form the night before.
- Monitor stress level and work load. If you or your child become overwhelmed or stressed, PLEASE STOP. Students' grades will not be effected negatively during our Distance Learning Days.
- Monitor Digital presence and privacy. We have disabled the ability for our students to generate Google Meets or Hangouts from their devices. They WILL be able to participate in and join sessions created by their teachers, just not student to student.
- Let us know if you need anything: technology, meals, assistance.
Thank you for your continued partnership and flexibility as we navigate this unique situation. It’s important we continue to work together and support our students.

COVID in our Community
New guidance from the CDC and IDPH has removed the requirement for providing notice to families and staff when COVID-19 cases are confirmed. It is safe to assume, however, that we have already been touched by this virus and that more of our community will be in the next few weeks. On behalf of the District 23 Board of Education, Administration and staff, I extend our heartfelt best wishes for all those effected by the virus and we wish you a speedy and full recovery. Our thoughts and prayers go out to those who may have family or friends who are facing critical health issues.

PLEASE STAY HOME
Unfortunately, I need to add my voice to the chorus of officials reminding our community to stay at home unless absolutely necessary. Especially with the warmer weather on its way, it is critically important that we resist the temptation to gather or play together outside. Over the past few days, we have observed groups of kids playing basketball at Patriot Park and others on our playground. As a reminder, all playgrounds have been closed to avoid spread of COVID-19

Supplies Needed
Our next Bilingual Parent Advisory Committee (BPAC) meeting is fast approaching. It will be held on Thursday, April 30th. For one of the family engagement activities we are planning for the night, we are in need of as many empty cereal boxes as possible. If you have any at home to donate, please bring them to school as soon as possible. Thank you for your assistance in helping this project come to fruition.

Century
Book Club

T
he Principal's Century Book Club is a listing of children who read multiples of one hundred books during their years at Eisenhower School.
*Books can be read by parents or enjoy a shared reading with your child. Take turns, use voices, and, most importantly, have fun!
Remember to ask plenty of comprehension questions and discuss new vocabulary words!
Your child’s name will be added to the front foyer wall when they read their first one hundred books. Their name continues to be added with each 100 books they read.
Students will also receive a special prize from the office.
B
ooks should be at the child’s reading level, and left to parent’s discretion.
Below, is a link to a form that you can download and print.
You may also list the books on a sheet of paper.
Setting aside 20-minutes a night for family reading with or to your child makes a world of difference.
