April 7 - Last day of Quarter 3

Congrats to the Lightning Boys Basketball team on their 63-36 win last night over Eagan in the Section Championship! The Lightning used a strong first half performance (feeding off of an electric, packed house featuring both the Lightning and Wildcat pep bands) to jump out to a commanding lead. Truly an awesome atmosphere! The Lightning are now STATEBOUND and will play next Tuesday, March 21st at Target Center in the State Quarterfinals. They will learn the exact game time and opponent on Saturday.

STUDENTS: If you plan to attend the State Tournament, please check Schoology this weekend for more details about tickets, attendance process and any possible fan bus information. Game times for Class AAAA Quarterfinals are 10am, 12pm, 2pm and 4pm. Eastview will learn their game time on Saturday morning. All tickets are sold online only via the MSHSL and Target Center. Tickets are $11.50 for students and $17.50 for adults. This event will NOT sellout as there are 18,000 seats at Target Center!

Due to times of games and available bus drivers, we will have a limited number of fan buses. Kids will need to sign-up for the Fan Bus through My Payments Plus. Fan Bus cost is $10. We will open the Fan Bus registration as soon as we confirm game time and corresponding bus availability. Unlike the pre-Covid days where we had up to 20 fan buses available, we will be lucky to get 4-5 max and if we play at 4:00 we likely will not get any. Any kids not on a Fan Bus will need to provide their own transportation if they plan to attend. The absence to attend this event is an “excused” absence. The process to follow to report an absence if the game is at 10am/12pm/2pm will be communicated via Schoology and School Messenger.

Playschool Registration

Over the years, the Eastview Math Department has created a collection of used calculators which are made available to students who may not be able to afford the purchase of a brand new one. While the student iPads have calculator functions, these devices are not allowed on standardized testing such as the ACT or SAT tests which most students will take as upperclassmen. The calculators we have are checked out through the Learning Commons for an annual rental fee of $20 (free for students receiving educational benefits) and returned at the end of each school year.

Our supply of calculators is currently low! Due to increased need and devices which no longer work, we are seeking ways to replenish our stock. If you have a graduating senior or a student who is no longer taking math, please consider donating the used calculators to the Math Department for use by other students. Our greatest need is for TI-30, TI-83, TI-84 and TI-84Plus models. Calculators can be sent to the Learning Commons or left at the security door (#1) labeled as a donation.

If you have any additional questions, please contact evhs.learningcommons@district196.org. Thank you for supporting math at Eastview!

Do you love beautiful and unique jewelry, bags, home goods and gifts? Do you like supporting fair trade companies who work with global women rising out of poverty? Do you love Eastview's BRAVO! productions and want to benefit them with your purchase? Then this is the fundraiser for you!

UPCOMING COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY VISITS

Students should stop by the Counseling Office and get a pass to attend the college/university/military Rep Visit prior to the right visit. These university/college or military visits are small group meetings typically lasting 20/30 minutes. These admission reps are often times the same people that review college applications, so it's a great connection for students.

District 196 Moving Forward with May 9 Bond Referendum Election: Two-Question Special Election Addresses District’s Facilities and Equipment Needs

District 196 School Board on Monday unanimously approved a resolution calling for a two-question bond referendum election on May 9, 2023, to address the district’s facilities and equipment needs for the next 10 years and beyond.

That was the recommendation of the administration and members of a Facilities and Equipment Steering Committee that conducted a comprehensive review of the district’s facilities and equipment needs over the last year and a half. The committee developed a facilities master plan and recommended the first phase of improvements to address needs in the areas of safety, security and supervision; space for growth, and providing students and families a more consistent experience in facilities across the district.

The proposed improvements were presented as preliminary recommendations at the Nov. 14 School Board meeting. They were then presented for public input during three nights of focus group dialogues in November, and online via a form on the district website. Learn more.

Do you need fee assistance?

Fee assistance is available for District 196 residents. Apply online or call 651-423-7920.
