Eisenhower students participated in Respect Week and were encouraged to reflect on inclusion, diversity, friendship, connection, and respect. A few students decided to share their personal reflections with us.
As a Special Olympics Unified Champion School, Eisenhower students concluded Respect Week by taking the Inclusion Pledge.
I pledge to look for the lonely, the isolated, the left out, the challenged, and the bullied. I pledge to overcome the fear of difference and replace it with the power of inclusion. I choose to include!

MIDDLE SCHOOL GRADING
At the conclusion of the scheduled school year, middle school students and families will receive report cards that include grades for trimesters one and two. Because learning occurring after the school closure was ungraded, third trimester courses will show a grade of “Ex” to indicate that the class was excused due to the closure.
Families with additional questions can reach out to their school directly.
