Monday, March 14 is the first day of Spring Trimester.

It is time to look into the Schoology class gradebooks and make sure missing assignments or assessments are addressed. Teachers are available for help both before and after school.

On Wednesday, March 9 students will be in EVEN numbered classes for final tests, assessments, presentations - period 2,4 and 6 - with longer times.

On Thursday, March 10 students will have periods 1, 3, 5 and 7 .

Wednesday the first hour of school time will be prep time- students may get help from teachers, spend time reviewing in classrooms or the Commons, or eat breakfast in the Commons.

Period 2 begins at 9 AM on Wednesday.

Each day - March 9 and 10 PAWS will meet for about 1 hour and students will be going to lunch with {PAWS rather than period 5. Again, this is a time for prep, review and study for students.

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!

If you purchased parking permits for Spring Trimester 2022, they will be distributed on Monday, March 7th and Tuesday, March 8th before school in the lower east entrance of EHS as well as during all lunches in Spirit Hall.

Our school will be hosting a “Cool School Mobile Plunge” on April 1st in an effort to raise funds to aimed at benefitting Special Olympics and our Unified movement at Eagan High School. Students and EHS staff may register to "plunge". All others, please consider donaations!

What is a “Unified movement”? This is a purposeful plan to promote meaningful social inclusion by bringing together students with and without disabilities to create accepting school environments. At Eagan High School, we have done this through shared activities, courses, sports and activities. We currently have a Unified PE class, have participated in Unified Bocce Ball, Basketball, and Bowling. We also have a school wide group called Wildcat Connection. This group plans activities that cultivates inclusion and sustaining relationships.

EHS Students grades 10 and 11 will take the computer-delivered Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments (MCAs) during the Spring Trimester. These will primarily be administered in grade 11 Math classes, grade 10 English classes and in Biology classes.

The MCAs are part of the educational accountability system in Minnesota and evaluate district, school and individual student progress on Minnesota Academic Standards in reading, math and science. There is no minimum passing score on the MCAs; schools use MCA results to make curricular and instructional decisions for all students.

• The reading test includes multiple-choice and other item-type questions which test skills in literature and informational text.

The reading test is administered to students in grade 10.

• The mathematics test includes multiple-choice and other item-type questions involving numbers and operation, algebra, geometry and measurement, and data analysis and probability. The grade 11 MCA also includes algebra, geometry and measurement, and data analysis and probability. The mathematics test is given in grade 11.

• The science (Biology) test includes multiple-choice and other item-type questions involving nature of science and engineering, physical science, earth and space science, and life science. High school items address nature of science and engineering, and life science. The science test is administered to students in Biology.

A survey for parents, district employees and community members to provide feedback to the District regarding the COVID Operational Plan has been shared March 2-4, 2022. It will be also posted to the District's COVID-19 dashboard.

SHARE YOUR FEEDBACK

Effective immediately, face masks will no longer be required to be worn in District 196 buildings or transportation, following the School Board's approval to update the 2021-22 COVID-19 Operational Plan for Students, Families and Visitors to Schools.

District Information

We are still providing masks for students, staff and visitors. We will support students, staff and visitors who continue to wear masks - respecting the choice to do so.

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.
