Each trimester we offer Mid-Term Parent/Guardian Conferences with teachers. These are drop in conferences - no appointments required. Our teachers are located in the Student Commons (cafeteria) and Spirit Hallway (main level near the Auditorium. They are seated by department groupings. We will have a map of teacher locations on our web site and at the doors. You may park in either the East Lot or South Lot for this event.

If an interpreter is needed for this in-person opportunity, please call Dr. Tara Hedlund 651-683-6918 or email her at tara.hedlund@district196.org. We will arrange for the time and date of your visit with this support.

Bring a copy of the student schedule with name of teacher and course - print from CAMPUS or on your phone. You may see all teachers, or those you choose to visit.

While the ASVAB (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Test) is a requirement for those planning on joining any branch of the military, the exam and specifically the career exploration program isn’t just for students interested in the military. The ASVAB Career Exploration Program helps students to discover their strengths and interests then map out post-secondary plans with comprehensive information for over 1,000 occupations. The ASVAB Career Exploration Program is open to any Eagan Student in grade 11-12 who want to learn more about their career options or for those that are interested in joining the military.

There are 3 parts to the ASVAB Career Exploration Program.

Part 1: Pre Intro to the ASVAB Career Exploration Program

Part 2: Aptitude Test on Tuesday, September 28, 2021 at 7:30 AM

Part 3: Score interpretation, interest self-assessment, and career exploration tools: Oct.7th

If you are interested in taking the ASVAB please contact Jen Gustafson @ Jennifer.gustafson@district196.org

EHS is in need of caring adults to work as substitutes for paraprofessionals working directly with students throughout the school day. As a paraprofessional substitute, your primary task is to assist our teaching staff in the classroom to support students that need a little extra help throughout the day. Being a substitute allows you the flexibility of working when you have time in your personal schedule – this could be 1 day/week or 5 days/week. These positions are essential in order to provide the needed support for students throughout the school day.

The substitute requirements include:

· High school diploma

· Must be able to pass a pre-employment physical (paid for by the District)

· Must be able to pass a pre-employment background check (paid for by the applicant)

· Must complete a Personal Care Assistant Certificate of Training

· Must attend a new hire orientation

Please contact Barb Hall at 651-423-7761 or barb.hall@district196.org with questions.

Students in District 196 will be provided breakfast and lunch at no cost during the 2021-22 school year due to a grant provided by the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture. All families are still encouraged to complete an Educational Benefits Application, formerly the free and reduced-price meals application. A new application must be submitted each year.

If a student wishes to purchase an a la carte item or a second lunch, they must have money loaded into their meal account or have cash in hand.

There is no school for students at Eagan HS on Friday, October 1st. Teachers will be engaged in professional development and teaching team work during the day.

Lifetouch Photographers will return on Monday, October 11 for school photos. This will give students who missed the photo day on September 2nd, the opportunity to have a photo taken for their ID card and the Yearbook this year. Also, new students to EHS and those who want a "retake" of their photo are invited to get a photo that day.

As we begin the new school year, many of our families are signing up for our school bus notification system,Here Comes the Bus. Some families have experiences errors when trying to set up their account when they type in their student's last name and student ID.

Instead of the student ID, the parent needs to type in the student's lunch pin, which can be found in their Infinite Campus Parent Portal. Do not use the student ID, but rather the lunch pin.

Steps for Families

• Log into the app with your email address and use the District 196 ID: 73500
• Add your student’s name and student lunch account number, which can be found in their Infinite Campus profile. (If your child is in Early Childhood Education, contact the Transportation to get a temporary lunch account number. Email Transportation@district196.org.)
• Once login is complete, set up a virtual radius that will alert when the bus is in the area.

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.
