Welcome Back 2026-2027
EV-W High School
Our dedicated staff have been working diligently over the summer to prepare for a smooth and productive start to the academic year. We are committed to providing a safe, supportive, and challenging environment where every student can thrive. Here are some important updates and reminders as we begin the school year:
If you do not have a PowerSchool/PowerGrade account, please set one up. A step-by-step manual has been created to assist in creating your parent and/or guardian account. Simply visit the district website at www.evw.k12.mn.us and choose PowerGrade listed under the “For Families” tab.
Please remember that your student's immunization record must be complete and on file prior to the start of school, per state law. Please contact your student's primary care provider to review and/or update immunizations prior to starting school. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Cathrine Birr, EVW District Nurse (cbirr@evw.k12.mn.us).
We will be handing out Chromebooks for the 2026-2027 school year on the following nights: Grades 7-9 on Tuesday, August 18th from 5:30-8:30pm & Grades 10-12 on Thursday, August 20th from 5:30-8:30pm. The Chromebook handout will take place at the high school in the Brooks Street Lobby. You can find all necessary forms and information on the district website. Please click on “Technology Initiatives”, which is located under the “For Families” tab. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email Sue Laumer (slaumer@evw.k12.mn.us). If you have a student in both age groups, you do not need to attend both nights. You can pick up all chromebooks on whatever night you chose to attend.
Open House will occur on Wednesday, August 26th from 6:00-8:00 p.m. This evening will provide an excellent opportunity to meet staff and become better acclimated with the building. Please print your student's class schedule ahead of time so you can use it as a reference when touring each of your student's classrooms. The class schedules can be found on PowerSchool after August 17th.
Our school offers healthy meals each day. All students can get one breakfast and one lunch free of charge each day at school. Although no application is required to receive this free meal benefit, filling out the Application for Educational Benefits is still important! Your child(ren) may qualify for other benefits like reduced fees at school. Your application may also help our school qualify for education funds, discounts, and other meal programs. Please fill out the application, which is found on our school website. Link: Educational Benefits Application
