With the new school year, there are some new changes in the dress code and the cell phone policies. Due to the extreme heat during back to school time, the new dress code allows more leeway for different clothes.  For example, male students are allowed to wear cut off shirts, but the shirts still can’t be cut down to the waist line. Along with this guideline, according to the new assistant principal, the girls are allowed to wear shorts, as long as they aren’t super short.

The new cell phone policy is zero tolerance during class, allowing students more opportunities to focus on their schoolwork. The students aren’t allowed to be on their phones at all in class; they have to put them in the cell phone caddie. If a student is on their phone, teachers have been directed to take the phone and write the student up. There are; however, times the students are allowed to use their phones, such as in the hallways, during class change, and when they are in lunch.

The new policies will take a little time to get used to, for both students and teachers. Stay tuned to squirenews.com for the latest news in sports and school events.

Welcome back Eisenhower Knights!  Hopefully this summer break was one to remember. The Squire cannot wait to see all of your faces back here for yet another great school year!

One big change this year is the new high school reform, and it has been very interesting to see how things have tied together, with the new advisory and only having seven periods. Transitioning to seven periods, in addition to the class periods being fifty minutes instead of only forty-three, has been extremely different and will take some getting used to. The three minutes between classes has created a few complications and some busy hallways, as students try not to be late. The new schedule isn’t just an adjustment for students, it is also an adjustment for teachers, as the longer periods and shorter time between classes is going to be a tough change.

Even though there might be some disappointment, there are many positives to the new schedule. Students have more time in class to work and the teachers have more time to teach and get through everything needed for the day’s work.

Although throughout the first couple weeks of school, this transformation may have been confusing, once this school year gets into the flow, it will get easier and be another fantastic school year!
