Eagan HS Closed Campus – No Food Deliveries or Departure Without a Pass

EHS is a closed campus. Students are not allowed to depart from campus unless they have a valid pass to do so. Lunch time requires students to be in the Cafeteria (Commons) and not ordering in food. We have a Federally and State subsidized Food Program and cannot compete with that program. Any food delivered by services to the building, will be refused.

Students are not allowed to go to vehicles in the parking lot during the day – unless given a pass from the Attendance Office to do so. Call 651-683-6911

If a parent/guardian needs to have a student depart during the school day, or arrive late due to an appointment (medical, dental, counseling, etc.) a call to our Attendance Office is needed. Call 651-683-6911. A pass will be prepared for the student to depart and check back in upon return. Students may pick up the yellow pass anytime during the school day- it is on the front counter of the Attendance Office.

Each year, District 196 updates its handbook of student rights and responsibilities for the upcoming school year. Most of the revisions to this year’s handbook are to conform with changes in state law, including the addition of gender identity as a protected class, changes to student disciplinary rights and processes, and changing the age of eligibility for special education from 21 to 22. In years past, the district mailed a copy of the handbook to each family with students enrolled in the district. This year, the Student Rights and Responsibilities handbook for 2024-25 is being shared online. Please take time to review the handbook with your children, as well as expectations for their behavior at school. A limited number of printed copies are available, upon request, by contacting the school office.

📱 Families can purchase optional iPad Protection Plan

District 196 offers an optional protection plan for $20 per iPad to cover the cost of potential theft and damage to the device during the school year. The plan is free for students eligible for the Educational Benefits Program. After Sept. 23, 2024, families without the protection plan are 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.

Practices will begin on Tuesday, September 10 at HOPE Fieldhouse. When you are registering your child, it is IMPORTANT that you complete the transportation information, and whether you would like to request the activity bus after practice as well.
