Additional Information:

• ALL students follow this schedule. 
• Middle school students who are taking high school classes will be completing the same end of semester assessment as high school students, and will attend the high school exam schedule times for those classes.  
• Middle school lunch will take place only in the cafeteria as it is normally.  
• High school will eat in multiple locations as they normally do.   
• The 2nd, 4th, and 8th middle school class hours are split and therefore longer before and after lunch to all for appropriate transition into and out of the classes.  
• Attendance at study halls for middle school students will be expected.  If parents choose to call students out, we will honor this request.  This will not count against students in relation to attendance.  
• High School students may be called out for study halls, please call the attendance office or use the absence feature in Infinite Campus.  This hour will not count against students in relation to attendance.  
• Students are required to be in attendance for their assigned class hour whether they have an exam or not. 

If you have any questions or concerns regarding the Secondary Exam Schedule please feel free to contact the school’s main office.  

Information sessions provide prospective students an opportunity to learn more about a college/university’s academic and student life by meeting in a small group setting with the admissions representative. The goal of each session is to provide a comprehensive overview of the school and answer any and all questions students may have.

I just wanted to remind parents to have a conversation with their students about what to do if they accidentally call 911 from their phone or watch while at school. Tell them to talk to the dispatcher and advise if there is a problem. Have them provide their name and go to the main office to wait to speak with me. 

The PD takes all 911 calls as real emergencies until proven otherwise. We especially would like to confirm ASAP when the call comes from within the school building to verify if there is a real emergency. I understand that sometimes phones pocket dial and there is no emergency. 

Explain to your child they won’t be in trouble with PD unless they intentionally are misusing 911. Please make sure your Infinite Campus account is up to date with current phone numbers including your child’s phone number. 

Again, please stress if they call by mistake it's okay, just go to the main office to report this so I can easily connect with them. Please be advised phones have different emergency call features for dialing 911. 

Do you know the features on your child's phone/do they know? Please have the conversation. Thanks for helping me keep the school a safe place to be!

Respectfully,

Eisenhower Theater continued their 23-24 season, “Find Your People,” with the musical installment of Matilda, Jr., a story about a girl who dreams of a better life with people who love her and can see how truly wonderful she is. Despite a lonely home life, she finds friends and new family who love and support her. The relationships developed among her peers and a very special teacher gives them the courage, coupled with a bit of magic, to overcome the biggest bully of them all, the headmistress.
