Highly Capable Services
Eisenhower is one of two sites in the district that provides services to Highly Capable students in a self-contained classroom setting. In addition to differentiation in the general education classroom, in 2024-2025 students in fifth grade can receive services in a self-contained classroom. The 5th grade self-contained classroom is already at capacity.
If you have questions about services other than the general education setting for HiCap students, please contact the Highly Capable Services office at highlycapableservices@vansd.org.

Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS)
Dwight D. Eisenhower is a Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports school. PBIS is an approach for supporting students’ academic success by making schools safer and more supportive for everyone. Students spent five minutes rotating to areas of the building and reviewing our school’s RESCUE standards:
- Respect
- Effort
- Safety
- Cooperation
- U—YOU
- Everyone affects everyone!
The Eisenhower staff reinforces and recognizes students who are being safe, respectful and responsible at school. Students are able to earn “Eagle coins” by modeling RESCUE standards. Together, they can use their Eagle coins to work toward earning a Spirit Day of their choice (Crazy Hat Day, Pajama Day, Color Wars Day, etc.).
