POLICIES AND PRACTICES AT EHS
In the first three full days of this school year our Principals’ Team members met with students throughout the day in classrooms to talk about policies and practices at Eagan HS. Some of this information was reminders for students. There were some new updates which include the following:
- Requesting a hall pass from a classroom will now be available to students using their iPads in Campus. Teachers have laminated hall passes on lanyards (as we have had for several years) and if one is available the student brings their iPad to the teacher, the pass is authorized by the teacher digitally, and the student departs. When they return to class from the restroom, locker or other destination, they are checked back in by ending the pass on their iPad.
- Attendance – we have an updated policy Districtwide. It has been published on our web site, sent to students in Schoology and can be reviewed by opening this link.
- Cell Phones – we are continuing the policy that student cell phones will be stored in numbered phone caddies during class time in each teaching space. This was highly successful last school year. All high schools in our District are using phone caddies. Students may use their phones during passing times and lunch time. Open this link to the policy on our website to review the policy and why it is important.
