District 196 offers an optional Protection Plan to families for $20 per iPad to cover the cost of potential theft/damage throughout the school year. The plan is free for families who qualify for the Educational Benefits Program so it is highly recommended to first apply online for that program in order to have the discount applied when purchasing the protection plan.

After Sept. 23, 2024, families without the protection plan will be responsible for costs associated with loss of or damage to a district-issued iPad. Information about the iPad protection plan for families, along with a link to the support page for EduTrak Connect, a fee payment system the district implemented earlier this month is found using these links.

Please make sure to fill out the medication consent form in Campus that allows your student to have Tylenol, Ibuprofen, Tums, and other over the counter creams like Hydrocortisone and Bacitracin should they need them. District nurses are unable to administer these medications without parent permission.

Thank you!

To opt in to EVHS and District 196 text messages, text Y to 67587. Carrier messaging rates may apply.

Students can serve detentions on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 2:40-4:00pm in C134. Morning Detention from 6:55-7:35am in Student Services is another option Monday-Friday. Detention is a quiet study hall where students are expected to work independently.

Detentions earned for the first (5) tardies in a class and then every three tardies after that need to be served within three weeks of notice or additional consequences and restricted opportunities may result.

Contact Mr. Arrale or Mr. Habeck in Student Services with questions.

All students parking in Student Lots need to have a Fall Semester Parking Permit between 7:30am and 2:30pm on school days. Tickets will be issued to cars that are parked without a permit, parked illegally on the yellow lines or parked in the north faculty lot. Tickets need to be paid within (5) school days.

Having unpaid parking fines will limit opportunities, participation and your car may be towed. There is FREE parking at the Johnny Cake Activity Center parking lots south of Eastview High School near the Tennis Courts.

One-Day permits may be purchased for $5 from the EVHS Attendance Office prior to 7:40am each school day.

All part-time Post Secondary Enrollment Option students can purchase a discounted fall parking pass from Mr. Habeck in Student Services.

Attention, Seniors - If you did not pick up your 24-25 Senior ID last Monday, you can now pick them up during school hours in the security office at the West Entrance.

Students can benefit from an opportunity for academic support every Wednesday afternoon from 2:40pm – 4:15pm in room C150. Students are supported to complete their schoolwork learning in a supervised setting. In addition students can also utilize the WIN program to make up tests they may have missed. Students can get this approved through their teacher ahead of time and the test will be ready for them to take during WIN. Faculty and staff are available along with upper-class peer tutors (especially skilled in Mathematics). Students will identify their priorities (“What I Need” or “What’s Important Now”), create a plan for the most efficient use of their time, celebrate their accomplishments, and leave with a plan for continued success. Students do not need to sign up in advance for WIN Time. We do ask that students plan to be there for the start at 2:40pm so they can benefit from the full support. We will keep a log of students and their engagement (arrival/departure time and their focus/work while they are there). For students needing transportation home, activity buses will be available departing at 4:45pm.

Attention Parents: Not all textbooks were returned at the end of last school year. Please take a moment to check your shelves and desks for any textbooks that need to be returned for use by this year’s students. All materials can be dropped off in the Learning Commons during school hours.

Thank you for your assistance!

The deadline for submitting your senior photo to the yearbook is NOVEMBER 15th, 2024.

Click here for Instructions for Senior Portrait Submission

To maximize the consistency of each senior portrait, our yearbook staff will be utilizing a vertical

"head/shoulder" photo. No props (athletic equipment, instruments, etc.) and no SnapChat filters will be

permitted. This type of portrait allows us to provide consistency in our photos, as well as offer the most clarity in space provided for each senior. The yearbook staff reserves the right to crop any submitted picture to meet these expectations.

Park Nicollet’s Growing Through Grief counselor, Jenny Simmonds, will be offering a weekly grief group for Eastview students who have experienced the death of a significant family member (parent, sibling, caregiver, etc.). If your teen is living with loss and you think they could benefit from participating in a grief group, please contact Molly Wellik at molly.wellik@district196.org and we will connect with your student regarding their interest.
