Eisenhower Elementary - Week of October 17th

Fire Safety Visit

Fraser's Firefighters and Police force made a special visit to Eisenhower Elementary last week. Our Young 5, kindergarten and first grade classes were given an opportunity to learn about fire safety. Our students were able to learn and engage with the Fraser firefighters and take a tour of their fire truck. We are so thankful for our Fraser frontline workers!

THE SECOND STEP SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL LEARNING CURRICULUM K-8

Last week we kicked of the Second Step Curriculum in all K-8 classes to further strengthen our social and emotional learning. Second Step offers weekly, age-appropriate virtual lessons for students to help them with a variety of social and emotional skills. These weekly lessons build on and support all of the great work we're doing at Ike to support our students. Combined with our schoolwide restorative practices and consistent PBIS expectations, we are creating a firm Tier 1 foundation for supporting all of our students' social, emotional, and behavioral development.


This week, each grade-level will begin a new unit. Please view the grade-level home links below to learn more about what your child is learning and how to support them at home during the second unit of Second Step.

Canvas

Parent/guardian access to our learning management system, Canvas, is now available. With your parent account, you will be able to view your child's assignments and coursework.


Please click here for detailed instructions on how to create your parent account. You will need to use a web browser, and your student will need to be logged in to their Canvas account on a separate device in order to generate the required pairing code.


Mr. Sleziak will be available during Parent / Teacher Conferences to assist with Canvas questions.

HALLOWEEN INFO!


  • Parade: A short "Halloween Parade" will take place beginning at 10:00AM on Monday, October 31st. Weather permitting, we will parade out the main doors and around the building. Our Y5s & kindergarten students will lead the parade around each classroom and then out around the building. All are welcome to come and watch our costume parade outdoors!

  • Classroom Activities: Classrooms/grade levels will be planning for Halloween activities and celebrations individually, either before or after the parade. If teachers request parent volunteers to help facilitate the classroom activities, all volunteers will have to submit a Background Check.

  • Costumes: Students may come to school in costume on Monday, October 31st. They can stay in costume for the duration of the day. Costumes need to be school appropriate and cannot depict violence or excess blood/gore. No fake weapons are allowed in school (i.e. toy guns, swords, blades, etc). Costume masks can be worn for the parade, but not throughout the day. For costumes that have short skirts/shorts, leggings or pants need to be worn underneath.
