Reminder: Our students are not allowed to be departing from campus for lunch or any class periods (including study halls). Nor are students allowed to be in our parking lots anytime during the school day - instead of inside the building as assigned. Please remember that our Food Service is providing breakfast and lunch for all students, free to all, again this school year.

Parents/Guardians must arrange for students to be authorized to depart for appointments as necessary. This needs to be arranged ahead of time with Attendance and cannot be multiple days.

The students will return to school on Wednesday, August 31, 2022. This is the first day of school for all of our students. Please make sure this is on your calendar as we have classes in session for August 31st and September 1st - then the Labor Day weekend - with school resuming on Tuesday, September 6th.

Please do not order or send food deliveries to our students. We are not accepting these deliveries and will not be notifying students that they have arrived. Students may bring their lunches or enjoy the District 196 Food and Nutrition food that is provided free during all lunch periods - and even before school breakfast - in our cafeteria. Since we have a state and federally subsidized food program we are obligated to limit the offerings to that program within the school lunch times.. Thank you!

Specific COVID-19 information, including data of student positive cases, school-specific cases, county cases and vaccination rate, is updated weekly on our COVID-19 Dashboard available on all school websites. (Be sure to scroll down the site until you can click on High Schools). School COVID-19 teams will no longer send case notifications to families. Families must maintain personal mitigation efforts, with or without a notification , and direct their attention to monitoring symptoms, keeping students home when sick and frequent screening as necessary.

We need all community members to care for each other and their community by practicing universal precautions:

• Monitor for symptoms every day
• Stay home when sick and test
• Get vaccinated and boosted as soon as you are eligible
• Test frequently for COVID

These mitigation strategies are repeated frequently to members of our learning community, but remain the most effective strategy. We recommend parents to check the COVID-19 dashboard regularly for updates, as well as using the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s daily county case rate tracker.

We all need a hand at times. Do you or your family need any gently used clothing, household, or hygiene items? Scan this QR code, and we can help!

Eagan High School is committed to engaging students in activities that foster the knowledge, skills and habits of mind necessary to be active learners, purposeful thinkers and responsible citizens.
