Dear Eisenhower Students and Families,

Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year! We are thrilled to continue our journey together under our theme: Passport to Success. This theme embodies what we believe at IKE. We create experiences that launch our students to success globally. Reflecting on last school year's academic and behavioral success, it's clear that our partnership with families  was a cornerstone of our students growth. Your support helped create a safe learning environment for our students, and we're eager to build on this momentum. We look forward to building on the same partnerships for new families that will help our students succeed at Eisenhower and beyond. 

This year, our vision is to further cultivate a safe and nurturing learning environment where every student can thrive. To achieve this, we want to emphasize a growth mindset for all our students. It doesn't matter where they started; it matters how they finish. We want our students encouraged to strive for growth in everything they do. We have demonstrated that our students can compete with the best, and it is time to demonstrate this through their leadership in the classroom and co-curricular clubs and activities. Putting growth in the forefront is critical in making this turn into reality. As a school, we will continue focusing on increasing student attendance, academic performance, and student involvement in co-curricular clubs. Our goal is for students to excel academically and demonstrate their leadership skills that will prepare them for the future.

Achieving these goals will require the active support of all stakeholders, including students and families. We invite you to stay engaged in their academic journey, encourage positive behavior, and support their participation in school activities. Get involved by volunteering at recess, the classroom, and hallways. Support students in learning skills such as conflict resolution and collaboration with peers. We have the best teachers in the world, and our dedicated teachers are ready to provide world-class educational opportunities for your child, they will continue to help demonstrate at Eisenhower and the community that #KidsLearnatIKE. 

We have our eyes set on some audacious goals for the next three years—such as a 5% gain in all academic tested areas, increased student involvement and attendance by 5%, and helping our students grow both behaviorally and academically. Together, we can nurture and guide our students to become the model leaders of tomorrow.

Please volunteer, stay connected, and support us in our mission through our Parent-Teacher Association or Natural Leaders program. Also, stay updated through our school's social media channels. Let's make this school year one of continued growth and success for every student at Eisenhower. Together, we will help our students gain the skills to achieve at Eisenhower, later in high school, and beyond. 

I am eagerly looking forward to working with you all this school year! Together, we will make this a year of growth and success for every student at Eisenhower.
