Playschool Registration

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.

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.
