Eagle Insights

The 3rd Quarter ended on Friday. Monday teachers will be working on completing grades, so there is no school for students. As a reminder, 3rd Quarter grades do impact eligibility for sports and activities. The Semester grades are an average of the two quarter grades, and that is how credits are awarded towards graduation.

With the weather warming up, it's a good time to remind families of our dress code at DE. We have noticed an increase in shorts that are extremely short and tops that either show a lot of belly or cleavage. We do our best to focus on learning and not clothing students wear as they learn. That said, please help encourage your student to match this expectation.

The Polar Plunge is BACK at DE! On April 17 we invite students and families to take the leap to support Special Olympics and inclusion in our school. Students and families can register to jump at https://www.plungemn.org/events/dover-eyota-high-school-cool-school/

Mr. McRae sent an email early in February regarding the option to take the ACT.

On the morning of Thursday, April 10, 2025, Dover-Eyota will administer the ACT during the school day to any interested 11th grade students.

The cost to students who choose to take the ACT in school on April 10 is $53.25. Dover-Eyota is required to collect the fee from students. The test is free for students who qualify for educational benefits.
