Students are supported to complete their schoolwork learning in a supervised setting. Faculty and staff are available along with upper-class peer tutors (especially skilled in Mathematics). Students will identify their priorities (“What I Need” or “What’s Important Now”), create a plan for the most efficient use of their time, celebrate their accomplishments, and leave with a plan for continued success. Students do not need to sign up in advance for WIN Time. We do ask that students plan to be there for the start at 2:45pm so they can benefit from the full support.

Wrestling: The Eastview Varsity Wrestling Team had six team members compete in the State Tournament at the Xcel Energy Center this past weekend. Ezra Formaneck, Ethan Dupont, and Alex Baccoli all competed well and had good battles, but did not place. Nolan Enderlein made his way through the consolation rounds at 106 pounds and had a 6th place, All-State podium finish! This year marked the very first year of the Girls Division at the State Wrestling Tournament and Eastview was represented by Elsie Olson who placed 3rd at 185 pounds to capture All-State Honors and Riley Myers who was crowned the first ever Girls Division STATE CHAMPION at 138 pounds! It was a historic weekend for the sport and Elsie and Riley will forever be a big part of that history! The team also earned an Academic Gold Award for their strong performance in the classroom.

Congratulations to all our wrestlers (pictured below).

They team put up a great effort in the Section Finals against #1 Seed and #1 Ranked in the State Cretin-Derham Hall, but fell by a final score of 3-0. A huge thanks to the 2500 plus fans that packed Braemar Arena in Edina beyond capacity to show their support for the team making for a very memorable Section Championship environment.

Girls Basketball: The girls season came to an end on Wednesday night as they fell 52-41 at #4 Seed Jefferson. The team rallied from a big first half deficit to tighten the margin, but just couldn’t get the score tied or take the lead.
