Teacher/Parent and Guardian Night is Monday, September 19th !

Come to EHS with your student's schedule for Fall Trimester. You will need to have the schedule as you move through the student day. It is an evening to "Walk Through the Student Schedule" spending some time with each of the classes and teachers your student has.

We begin at 6 PM in Period One. We end with 7th Period. Teachers will be in the classroom spaces to meet with parents and guardians. Get to know the teachers and learn about the classes your student is taking.

Plan to arrive by 5:45 PM as it takes time to park and enter the building.

If an interpreter is needed please email Dr. Hedlund tara.hedlund@district196.org

We will be able to print student schedules at the Main Office just inside the South Doors of EHS.

1. Parents/guardians are requested to call the Eagan High School Attendance Voice Mail (651-683-6915) before noon each day their student is absent. This Voice mail is open 24 hours per day.

2. You can also reach Attendance at 651-683-6911 from 7 AM - 3 PM.

3. Please include the following information when calling:

• Your name and relationship to your student.

• Your absent student’s name and grade.

• Day (Monday-Friday) and date of absence.

NextGrad is an electronic college, university and post-secondary “bulletin board” with screens that feature information from specific opportunities, reminders about the upcoming events and more. Each High School in District 196 has a NextGrad installed as of this month. The company works with the high schools and provides the screens which change frequently. This is a free service and each year a scholarship donation is given to the high school for a graduating senior.

Look for ours in the locker bay near the Attendance Office.

"Where Science Meets Sports"

Information Meeting - 9/21 at 6-6:30 PM in Lec A

Followed by event overview in room 202

(students & parents are invited)

Science Olympiad is a national STEM organization in which students compete in various science disciplines against other schools at the local, state and national level. These 23 events include academic, lab and building events, and the competitions are similar to a track meet. Students will get to pick which events they would like to study based on their individual interests. So whether your interest is engineering, chemistry, physics, biology, forensics, environment, space or even math, we have events for you.

All levels of science students and STEM interests are encouraged to join! Great addition to your college resume!

All proceeds will go to the Unified movement at Eagan High School. What is the “EHS Unified” and what will the raised money go towards? EHS has a large number of students and staff that are a part of a group called “Unified”. The Unified group has a purposeful plan to promote meaningful social inclusion by bringing together students with and without disabilities to create accepting school environments. At EHS, we have done this through shared activities, courses, sports and activities. We currently have a Unified Physical Education class, have participated in Unified bocce ball, basketball (21/22 Section B State Champions), bowling and soccer tournaments, created awareness and participated in school wide recognition of Unity Day, and the “Kindness Matters” and “Spread the Word” campaigns . These events can be costly and the money fundraised will go towards tournament participation and inclusive activities planned for all EHS students throughout the 22/23 school year.

Skip the lines and pre-purchase your tickets!

EHS is a closed campus. Students are not allowed to depart from campus unless they have a valid pass to do so. Lunch time requires students to be in the Cafeteria (Commons) and not ordering in food. We have a Federally subsidized Food Program and cannot compete with that program. Any food delivered by services to the building, will be refused.

If a parent/guardian needs to have a student depart during the school day, or arrive late due to an appointment (medical, dental, counseling, etc.) a call to our Attendance Office is needed. Call 651-683-6911. A pass will be prepared for the student to depart and check back in upon return.

Students are not allowed to go to vehicles in the parking lot during the day – unless given a pass from the Attendance Office to do so. Call 651-683-6911
