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!

Yearbooks are ordered through Josten's and are $90. Click here to order.

The Eastview Robotics team competed in the Minnesota North Star Regional through the first weekend of spring break. Held in LaCrosse, WI due to the remodel of Mariucci Arena.

The students had bad luck with some damage to the robot the first day and finished 31st after 10 qualifying matches. In a field of very talented and experienced robots, the outlook was not good. They regrouped and repaired for the second morning and were able to climb up to 25th in rankings, ending at 27th for the final alliance selection. By a good fortune for their persistence, they were added to the #1 ranked alliance after a different robot proved unreliable after the second round of the elimination matches. The Eastview team , the Cobalt Catalysts, joined and were instrumental in helping the alliance beat the very tough #7, and #3 ranked alliances to make it to the finals. They ran into a very tough opponent and were 1-1 after 2 exciting matches in a best of 3 finals. In the final minute of the 3rd match, our robot and an alliance robot took damage during gameplay. With two robots not able to fully function, the team came up just 14 pts shy of being crowned champions. Tremendous effort and ability was shown by alliance partners and their opponents.

You can watch the final match here https://www.thebluealliance.com/match/2023mnmi2_f1m3 . Heart stopping as you see our robot almost tip over during the match.

Special thanks to our graduating Seniors - Alana Wick (Team Captain), Hogan Stirratt (Drive Team / Drivetrain Engineer), and Karina Brandt (Strategy) on their many contributions, leadership, and gracious professionalism.

If you are interested in learning more about the Eastview Robotics program for next season, then please contact our Booster Board at EastviewLightningRobotics@gmail.com. Joining and helping the alliance reach the finals helps the team to gain entry into the World Championships, held in Houston, TX.

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.
