The PBIS reward system is a strategy that Eisenhower has been using to create a positive school environment. The school has an app that teachers use to give students points for positive behavior. In the app, which they can access through ClassLink, students can see how many points they have, and any comments teachers have put in for earning those points. The categories in which points can be earned include Integrity, Kindness, and Engagement (IKE). There are stores created by teachers where students can use their points to purchase whatever the store has that interests them.
With the publication of our newspaper, the W-IKE News Show and so many fun projects, the Journalism and the new Communications classes always have a lot of fun things going on behind the scenes. In this issue of The Squire, we will be highlighting these programs here at Eisenhower, and giving you a little bit of a look at what exactly we do, with some input for our amazing advisor Miss Howe and a junior who has done both Journalism and Communications, Alyssa Wismar.
As some of Eisenhower’s students might have heard, on February 17, the “Snowball” took place at Warren Area High School and was sponsored by the district H.E.A.L. club. The biggest question The Squire has heard is about what they see at the bottom of the flier: H.E.A.L., what is this club? Where did it come from? How can I join? Well, The Squire is here to learn more about just that, with interviews from the club advisor, Maria Palmieri; President, Johnny Palmieri; and Vice President, Avalynne Russell.
