EVHS Bi-Weekly Announcements

Two ways to connect with teachers about your student's progress!

We will be hosting our Q1/fall conferences this week on Thursday, October 12 and Friday, October 13. In an effort to allow parents/guardians multiple options to connect with teachers, we will be offering two different ways for you to conference with your student's teachers:

· Thursday, October 12 from 5:30pm - 8:30pm

• In-person, drop-in conferences
• No appointments are necessary

· Friday, October 13 from 7:30am - 10:30am

• Scheduled Zoom conferences only (no in-person, drop-in conferences)
• Click here to use PTCFast to pre-schedule Zoom Conference
• Select the teachers you'd like to conference with when you register
• An email will be sent to you allowing you to coordinate Zoom conference times
• A confirmation email will be sent with each teacher's Zoom link all in one email

Both options allow for you to select which teachers you wish to visit with. Conferences with each teacher are limited to approximately five minutes to allow teachers to connect with all parents/guardians in attendance. If a longer conversation or conference is needed, we ask you to schedule that with the teacher for another time.

*Free childcare for younger children will be available on Thursday evening so that you may attend and engage without needing to find or provide care to younger children. No pre-registration is necessary - childcare will be in room C139 starting at 5:30pm on Thursday, October 12.

Sophomores! If you are interested in going on a history tour of Italy your junior spring break 2025, please come to B224 at 7am on Thursday, Oct 12th. If you can’t make it please see Mr. Vande Berg.

Picture Retake Day is Monday, October 16th.

If you need retakes, students should bring their original picture packages with them on retake day to give to the photographer.

If you were absent on the September 11th picture day, visit mylifetouch.com and use picture day ID: EVTD347G4 to order your photos now.

If you got your photo taken on September 11th but have not yet ordered your picture packages, your student will receive a proof and ordering code in a couple of weeks.

Please contact Maria Brandel in the main office if you have additional questions.

We have had some questions about students who still do not have a 23-24 student ID.

A. 9th Graders not here on picture day should scan the QR code below to be added to a list that will be used at events.

B. 10th or 11th Graders not here on picture day should visit the Main Office and we will print them an ID with last year’s photo (if they have one. If not, follow the A instructions).

C. 12th Graders who haven't picked up their ID yet - they are located at the Attendance Office. If not they should do the same as “B”.

D. Anyone who has lost theirs from this year, bring $5 for a replacement ID to Maria Brandel in the Main Office.

E. For anyone who was absent on Picture Day this year, Picture Retake Day is Monday, October 16th.

Seniors who have their photos taken by an outside photographer should follow these 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.

VARSITY SPORTS

The Boys Varsity Soccer team arrived in full force on Monday night against conference rival, Lakeville South. During the first half, Eastview goalkeeper Owen Guyette and the entire defense played strong, allowing no goals and ending the half in a 0-0 tie. Eastview's offense took control immediately in the second half; capturing the first goal of the game on a corner kick by Jaydon Singel and headed into the net by Michael Cherevatsky. Less than 3-minutes later, Neftali Rodriguez Bustos scored an unassisted goal, making the score 2-0. Eastview's Frank Jerone, assisted by Kevin Woehler, then sank the 3rd Eastview goal. In the last five minutes of the game, Jaydon Singel passed the ball to Alex Vega for the 4th goal of the game making it a spectacular 4-1 win for the Lightning!

On Tuesday night, the team faced non-conference opponent Bloomington Jefferson. The wind was gusting and the lighting had 5 shots on goal during the first half. Michael Cherevatsky sank a penalty kick 6-minutes into the 2nd half, bringing the score to 1-2 in Bloomington's favor. Working the entire game to sink goals, the Lightning's offense put 10 shots on goal, but fell short with a 1-3 final score. With one more game to go in the regular season against Shakopee on Friday night, the team is now 4-3-1 in the South Suburban Conference.

The first half ended with Eastview on top 3 to 0. There were several scoring attempts in the second half. Carter Hench, Nathaniel Rodriguez Bustos and Glenn Garcia-Segovia each scored.

Welcome to Almost, Maine; a place that’s so far north, it’s almost not in the United States. It’s almost in Canada. And it’s not quite a town, because its residents never got around to getting organized. So it almost doesn’t exist. One cold, clear, winter night, as the northern lights hover in the star-filled sky above, the residents of Almost, Maine find themselves falling in and out of love in unexpected and hilarious ways. Knees are bruised. Hearts are broken. But the bruises heal, and the hearts mend -almost- in this delightful midwinter night’s dream.

Yeehaw! Git ready to saddle up and get your boots stompin', 'cause the Eastview High School marching band just scored a big win at the 30th annual Champlin Park Rebel Classic!

With their shiny instruments gleamin' in the sun, and their feet kickin' up dust on that ol' football field, this band proved they had the grit and determination of a true cowpoke. Whippin' their flags and rifles like they were ropin' cattle, the color guard dazzled the spectators. Each twirl, spin, and toss had the audience hollerin' with pure admiration.

But it wasn't just about the fancy footwork and mesmerizin' moves. This band had the sound to match their visual spectacle.

The judges couldn't help but be impressed by their performance. The EVMB struck gold winning multiple caption awards: outstanding music, outstanding visuals, and outstanding percussion.

Y'all better dust off them boots and mosey on down to US Bank Stadium on October 14th, 'cause this here's the last rodeo to catch them thunderin' hooves of the EVMB. It's gonna be a sight more mesmerizin' than a wild bronco breakin' free. Giddy-up!
