What's New at Eisenhower Elementary

The month of September is Attendance Awareness month.  Attending school every day is so important to student success.  Even missing just 2 days of school each month can result in students getting behind.  Good attendance means working together!  We are committed to partnering with you to make sure your child can be at school every day.  Please contact Mr. Ferguson regarding any concerns for your student.  We are looking forward to a great school year!

This book was created from the Community Foundation of Greater Dubuque’s Every Child Reads initiative. To learn more about Every Child Reads, visit readdbq.org or facebook.com/groups/dbq.ecr.

Kindergarten students at Eisenhower School welcomed their mothers and other special caregivers to a Mother’s Day Tea held at the school. They also created the lovely videos below to celebrate their moms.

Eisenhower School received two awards this fall from the Judy Chandlee Tribute to Teachers Grant. Judy Chandlee was a beloved Kindergarten teacher at Eisenhower School for many years and it means a great deal for the school to receive these grants.

Mrs. David wrote a grant to enhance literacy skills in Kindergarten. The purpose of this project is to incorporate a multi-sensory approach to literacy.  Students will explore reading using hands-on activities to keep them engaged and to reach all students at their reading level.  With these sensory materials, students will be supported during both teacher-led activities and independent literacy stations to help cement their knowledge of literacy skills and standards.

Mrs. Dostal wrote a grant to support social and emotional learning through library books. The goal of this project is to add books that address social and emotional needs into the Eisenhower library collection. Books have been selected from Follett that were reviewed by notable library associations as addressing social and emotional learning for kids. These books will be available to all students and teachers through the library to support social and emotional teaching goals and student needs. After the many disruptions to life caused by Covid, social and emotional learning has become a very important focus for schools across the country. Books can be a powerful tool to open up meaningful conversations and help students address these needs.
