Eagan High School Newsletter

Our schools are closed for this National Holiday in remembrance of those men and women who have sacrificed and served for our country and all of us.

In 2000, Congress passed the National Moment of Remembrance Act signed by President William Clinton. This act asks Americans everywhere to pause for one minute at 3:00pm Monday to remember and reflect on the sacrifices made by so many. On Monday, you may choose to take time to observe this National Moment of Remembrance.

Nationwide we have been asked, as families and communities, to observe a moment of silence in recognition and honor, at 3 PM on Monday afternoon.

Be sure to read the Graduation Newsletters when they come to you - here is the link to the most recent one https://www.smore.com/83yr7

Here is the link to the Academic Awards video for our senior class. We are proud and happy to share this with all of you. You should be able to share this link with family and friends.

At the end of the summer, all participants will be invited to an ice cream celebration event. Students will receive a free copy of their chosen title and additional titles if they attend the celebration event.

English teachers will post the link to the Google sign up document on their Schoology pages.

Due to the contractor construction calendar, there will be a closure of Diffley Road starting Monday, June 7. Detour Maps

We know that the earlier the construction starts, the better our chances will be of having construction near completion before students return to school on September 1.

• Private utility relocations on Daniel Drive and Braddock Trail will continue. There are no planned disruptions to service at this time.
• Continue grading the new access road between Northview Elementary School and Dakota Hills Middle School.

For the week of June 7 - 11 the contractors will maintain a gravel pathway as a crosswalk across Diffley Road on Braddock Trail. Please use care and caution as crossings are made. This will not be available starting June 14th.
