When Does School Begin for the 2025-2026 School Year?
The students will return to school on Wednesday, August 27, 2025. This is the first day of school for all of our students.
First Day of School Start Times:
9th Grade Start Time: 7:40AM
10-12 Grade Start Time: 11:00AM
Please make sure this is on your calendar as we have classes in session for August 27and 28 - then the Labor Day weekend - with school resuming on Tuesday, September 2nd.
What to Purchase for the school year?
We do not have a ‘list’ of required supplies for our high school students. We do recommend that students “stock up” at back-to-school sales on the following items:
- Spiral notebooks, college ruled, one subject
- Calculators: Students now primarily use DESMOS on their iPad because they are allowed to use DESMOS on AP Tests and the ACT and MCA’s. However, if you wish to purchase a graphing calculator, please purchase a TI-83 or TI-84.
- Ballpoint pens, black & red
- Protractor and compass for Geometry students
- #2 Pencils or mechanical pencils
- Pocket folders. (Many students choose to match colors of notebook & folder to a specific class)
- A stylus for use with the iPad
- External battery for charging iPad as needed during the day is helpful
- Please know that we have free school supplies available in the Counseling Office for our students.

Eagan High School student schedules will be available in Infinite Campus at 3 PM on Wednesday, August 20th. These schedules are tentative and may be subject to change as we continue to balance classes. If a student does not have a schedule that means that they should have an appointment to register for classes next week.
Schedule corrections will be considered for the following reasons only:
- Clerical Error (no class during specific period, duplicate classes, etc.)
- Failed a prerequisite class
- Senior class required for graduation
- Special Education need
- Inappropriate level (drop from honors to regular)
- Drop an elective for a study hall.
If your student is considering dropping a band or choir course, they must contact Mr. Pearson (band) or Mr. Cox (choir) before being approved for that change. We highly recommend that students stay in these courses as the directors have plans to provide for an amazing year for your students.
If your student meets one of these criteria, please click the link below by August 29 and it will link the schedule correction request form.
