Working together to find the density of a liquid
Generals are respectful, responsible, and ready to engage with Dr. Fowlin during Respect Week
Generals are "keeping a lid on bullying" to wrap up Respect Week!
Reminder: EdCamp is Monday, October 9th
School is closed on Monday, October 9. However, DDE will be hosting EdCamp! EdCamp is a full day of professional development hosted on Monday, October 9 for all district staff members on the Eisenhower and Catena campuses. Therefore, parking is limited and it results in many staff members parking on Burlington Road and in the surrounding neighborhoods. We appreciate your patience and consideration on Monday, October 9. We are very proud to host the day at Eisenhower. Please know we encourage staff members to carpool, but you will certainly notice an increase in volume.

- Interest meetings will be held during 8th period on Monday, October 16, 2017.
- Forms are due on Tuesday, October 31, 2017.
