Eisenhower Science and Technology Leadership Academy
“Think back to the most important experiences of your life, the highest highs, the greatest victories, the most daunting obstacles overcome. How many happened to you alone? I bet there are very few. When you understand that being connected to others is one of life’s greatest joys, you realize that life’s best comes when you initiate and invest in solid relationships.”
-John C. Maxwell

Eisenhower is a FULL uniform School. Our uniforms are light/navy or white collared (polo) or button down shirts, Blue or Khaki pants/skirt/skort/shorts. Jeans are NOT Allowed! Students should wear a belt if needed. Sneakers are best, but NO open toe shoes, slides, flip flops, slippers without rubber soles. Gym uniforms can be purchased at school. Those students who do not purchase a gym uniform can wear blue shorts/sweatpants (not jeans) and a white or blue shirt to school on those days they have gym class. Please keep accessories to a minimum. During the colder months, students may wear a sweatshirt.
Eisenhower is pleased to be utilizing Classroom Dojo again this year for our School Wide Positive Behavior (PBIS) system! Each child will be placed in to two classes on the system (based on homeroom teacher). One classroom is the 6 point behavior classroom (students must maintain 5 or 6 points to have privileges in the building) and one is the PBIS class, where students can earn as many points as possible for making the correct choices each day. With their PBIS points, students will be able to purchase various fun items from the school
