Let's Appreciate Ike's Staff!
Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week is this week.. As you know, every member of our staff is working harder than ever this year. In addition to supporting our students' academic growth, our staff is also working so hard to support our students' individual social, emotional, and behavioral needs.
As we prepare for Appreciation Week, I encourage you to work with your children to pick at least one member of the staff who is making a difference in their life. Then send that staff member an email, have your child draw a picture, send in a card, etc., to let them know. These small gestures take just a few minutes and mean SO MUCH to our deserving teachers, office staff, custodians, support staff, and lunch aides.
ARE YOU RETURNING TO EISENHOWER IN THE FALL?
We are beginning to plan for the 2022-2023 school year at this time. It would be extremely helpful for us to know whether or not your child will be returning to Fraser in the fall. We are asking each family to help us with this process by completing the form below. Please take a moment to fill it out. Please complete ONE FORM per child.
We greatly appreciate your assistance planning for next school year!

M-STEP Testing
Each spring, the State of Michigan and the US Department of Education (USDE) require us to assess students in certain subject areas through the M-STEP, PSAT and SAT.

Assessment dates for M-Step are as follows:

Thursday, May 5: Social Studies M-Step
4th Grade

Please ensure that your child is well rested on their testing day. They should come to school with a fully charged iPad .
Please note- We have makeup days built into our testing schedule, so if your child is exhibiting any symptoms of illness on their testing day- be sure to keep them home.
Spring Vocal Concert - Grades 1-3
All Eisenhower 1-3 grade classes will be presenting a Spring Music Program on Tuesday, May 10, 2022, at 7pm in the Fraser High School Auditorium (Fraser Performing Arts Center).
On the morning of our show, we will have a rehearsal at the Fraser High School Auditorium from 9:30 am – 10:30 am. We will return to Eisenhower at 10:45 am.
Our theme this year will be “American Folk Songs”. We have begun working on our program and are looking forward to our performance in May! To enhance the presentation of our show, the children are invited to wear clothes/costumes that go with the theme: “American Folk Songs”. Some ideas would be pioneer outfits, cowboy, etc.. If a theme related outfit is not available, please have your child dress in their best attire as this is a special occasion. Please be mindful that your child’s attire allows him/her to enter and exit the stage safely. Please do not include accessories that your child will have to hold during the program as they will need the use of their hands.
Please arrive for the program between 6:30 and 6:45 pm. Students will assemble in the F.H.S. choir room located by door #51. The doors to the auditorium will open at 6:30 pm for seating. It is great to be able to present a Spring Program again! The students are very excited to show you what they have learned. I look forward to seeing you soon!!
Sincerely,
Lisa Paradowski
(Music Teacher)
