Grade/Pass Option agreements are due via online registration by Tuesday, May 3rd. Students may take up to 1 class per trimester on a Grade/Pass Option basis. This option allows students to explore their interests in challenging subjects without the risk of negatively impacting their grade point average. The decision to take the grade or the pass is ultimately made at the end of the trimester. Filling out the form does not require the student to take the Pass.

More information and the online registration can be found HERE

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.
