EVHS Bi-Weekly Announcements

If you are planning to attend a Home Football game in District 196 this Fall (or any other sporting event with an admission charge this school year) PLEASE BE SURE to read the following for some very important changes and information regarding spectator requirements: https://www.smore.com/jsuta-athletic-event-policies

Last year, our Homecoming Dance reached capacity and we were unable to allow many Eastview students to attend. To prevent this from happening this year, our Student Council and our administration has determined we will limit ticket sales to Eastview students only. We want to be sure all of our Eastview students have the opportunity to attend the dance.

Our Homecoming Dance will be Saturday, October 7 from 8:00pm to 11:00pm.

• Tickets will be sold online only.

• Purchase your tickets as soon as possible to be sure you have the opportunity to attend!

• Only students with a current Eastview student ID for 2023-24 will be allowed to attend.

• Click here to purchase your tickets: https://www.vancoevents.com/BZZV

More information about Homecoming activities will be coming soon.

Seniors who have their photos taken by an outside photographer should follow the following instructions to submit their photo for the yearbook:

SAVE YOUR PHOTO as Last Name, First Name (i.e. Franchino, Rob). This is very important.

Then:

• Log on to: images.jostens.com
• Browse your device to select the photo you wish to upload.
• Enter information about the photo and contact information, in case the staff needs additional information.
• Click "Upload Chosen Images"

It's that easy!

Deadline to submit senior photos is NOVEMBER 10th, 2023.

Eastview High School has a partner school in Darmstadt, Germany. A group from Darmstadt will be visiting EVHS this fall from the 4th to the 14th of October.

YOU have a chance to host one of these students!

German students are visiting to learn about day to day life in Minnesota. Visiting students will shadow hosting students while at EVHS to observe their classes, lunch, and (if possible) after school activities.

What you need as a host:

-A place for a student to stay. They do not need a separate room, but they do need their own bed.

-Pick up and drop off from MSP Airport on the 4th and 14th. If this is not possible, we can work something out.

-Transportation to and from school. If your student takes the bus, they can ride with them.

-There will be some events/activities that we will do as a large group in the afternoons and evenings. Your German student will need a way to get to these activities.

-As of right now, it sounds like the German students will be able to get Breakfast and Lunch from school. They will need a meal in the evening.

If you are interested, please fill out this application so that we can match you with a German partner!

This is a great way to get to know students from another country, learn about another culture and make lifelong friends. Connect with Herr Sebald at steve.sebald@district196.org with your questions. We hope you can participate!
