To Parents & Guardians:

I am looking forward to another successful year at Eisenhower and to sharing my love of writing, reading and literature with your student in their English class. Mostly, I am looking forward to getting to know your child and building a positive and trusting relationship with them. 

I bring several years of practical and professional business world experience to my teaching career here at Eisenhower, where I have just started my 20th year. I hope that I can count on your support and assistance for both the successes and challenges that the school year will bring. I have posted a full course syllabus guide on our class Google Classroom page that outlines your student’s path of study this year. 

I also wanted to let you know that I am the head coach of the Cardinal Speech Team, one of the premier performing arts activities here at school. We are having an informational meeting for students who might want to learn more about this nationally recognized program. This meeting will be THURSDAY, AUGUST 20 at 3:30pm in Room 132. Please encourage your student to stop by and find out more! 

I look forward to meeting you at some time during the school year. 

 Please do not hesitate to call or email me if you have any questions or concerns: 708.597.6300 X 4064 or  [email protected].           

Sincerely,

Mark Urban
