Meal Kits Information
Through special funding from the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture, students will continue to have access to free meals for the remainder of the 2020-21 school year. However, we have some updates regarding availability and distribution of our free meals.
Beginning Monday, April 19, we will no longer serve meals to the greater community, as we refocus on providing meals during the school day to our in-person learners. We are grateful to our community for supporting our efforts to ensure students across Dakota County had access to nutritious meals.
Students learning in person will still have access to free breakfast and lunch, as well as take-home meals to support them on distance learning days and weekends.
Students who are enrolled in the 196 Digital Academy full-time distance learning model will still have the option of picking up a free seven-day meal kit at any of our secondary schools. Beginning Wednesday, April 21, meal kits for our 196 Digital Academy learners will be available to pick up on Wednesdays from 10-11 a.m. at any secondary school. If your family would like to pick up seven-day meal kits, please provide updated information by completing this seven-day meal kit survey by Friday, April 16. Completing this brief survey assists our Nutrition Services Department in preparing an adequate number of kits.
For information on local food resources, please review our list of local food shelves and community meal opportunities.
If you have any questions, visit our website at District196.org/meals, email nutrition@district196.org or call 651-683-6956.

At this time, the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine is the only COVID-19 vaccine that has been studied and authorized for use for 16 and 17 year old. individuals. Data from Pfizer vaccine studies show the vaccine is safe and effective for this age group. Other vaccine manufacturers are also studying their vaccines in younger age groups but have not yet received authorization from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
The Minnesota Department of Health has created a resource with information about COVID-19 vaccines for 16- and 17-year-olds.

- Vaccine Connector users may also be randomly selected to make an appointment at one of the state’s COVID-19 Community Vaccination Program sites. If you are selected, you will be notified by text, email, or phone call by one of the state vaccination partners running those sites: Vault Health, Primary Bio or SpeciaLysts (Solv).
- Your employer may also reach out with information about vaccination opportunities.
Stay safe before your opportunity to get the vaccine:
While all Minnesotans 16 years and older are eligible, not every Minnesotan will be immediately able to make an appointment. It’s important to continue taking easy steps to slow the spread of COVID-19:
- Wear a mask
- Maintain physical distancing
- Wash your hands
- Get a COVID-19 test if you need one. Find a no-cost testing location near you or order an at-home test at no cost.

2021 Prom Update
EVHS and all other District 196 high schools have worked closely together with our district’s COVID-19 Safety Team to consider potential prom plans. This team has continued to review information from the MN Department of Health and the MN Department of Education to guide our planning. We have considered many potential options to provide our students some type of safe prom experience.
Although we are not able to have a dinner/dance event at this time, we are excited to be able to offer an event that will include a Grand March (live streamed for families) and other in-person activities for our Seniors to be determined. We will work with our student Prom Committee to help us plan these safe activities. While we know that this announcement does not support our traditional prom experiences, we are striving to provide some type of prom experience within the Department of Health and Education COVID guidelines. Here is some current information for planning purposes:
The event will start at 4:00pm on Saturday, May 15th at Eastview High School
Each senior may bring one guest of their choice (under 21).
Students can register in groups with a maximum of six students in the group. Registration closes on May 7, 2021.
Online registration form Each group (max of six) should identify a Group Captain to register attendees. Everyone will be required to provide contact information.
We expect each group of six to be at Eastview for no longer than 30 minutes.
There will be no charge for this event.
More information will be shared soon as plans are finalized. Please contact Ms. Hengel at janel.hengel@district196.org if you have any questions.
Thank you for your support and understanding as we strive to provide our seniors a prom experience within our current safety protocols.
Thank you,
Janel Hengel
