It’s not the typical book drive…we are experiencing a shortage in a number of library and textbook titles that were checked out during distance learning. We need your help! Please encourage your students to check their desks, rooms and under the bed! We know that circumstances did not make it easy to return school books last year. Students can check what books they may be missing with these directions or they may stop by the Learning Commons for a printed report. Middle school books can also be returned to EVHS and we will transfer them back to the appropriate schools. Thank you for your assistance in collecting our resources for other learners.

We will have five 4-week extended day credit recovery sessions this year. See the session dates below.

We have a new opportunity for student academic support on Wednesday afternoons from 2:45pm – 4:15pm in the Learning Commons. Students can come and do schoolwork in a supported, supervised setting. We will have faculty/staff support along with upperclass peer tutors (especially skilled in Math) available each Wednesday.

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.

Masks Required on Buses and Inside Schools

State officials have given school districts the responsibility to determine COVID-19 mitigation strategies at the local level this school year. The 2021-22 COVID-19 Operational Plan for Families, Students and Visitors to Schools that was unanimously approved by our School Board on August 26 requires all students, staff and visitors in all District 196 buildings to wear a face mask indoors when the local transmission level is “substantial” or “high” as measured by the CDC transmission matrix. Currently, the transmission level in Dakota County is high, meaning face masks will be required in our schools to start the year, just as they are required to enter a growing number of businesses, government buildings and on all public transportation and airline flights.

Your partnership is critical to the success of our students. We expect students, staff and visitors to comply with the mask requirement, as outlined in Administrative Regulation 708.7, COVID-19 Masks, until the COVID-19 spread in Dakota County drops to the “moderate” level of transmission. Masks help reduce spread and give us the best opportunity to provide consistent in-person education all year. Just like last year, students will have opportunities for mask breaks during the day, such as at lunch or while outside. If parents and guardians are concerned about their child’s ability to safely wear a mask, they should refer back to Administrative Regulation 708.7 COVID-19 Masks.

Our district is committed to doing all we can to ensure students can continue learning in person this school year. This includes HEPA filters in all learning spaces, social distancing, recommending COVID-19 vaccinations for those who are eligible to receive them and requiring masks when the local transmission level is substantial or high.

Review and Update Emergency Information

If you haven’t already done so, please update your family’s information on record with the district by completing the online review in your Infinite Campus Parent portal account. This is the one time each year the district asks parents to complete the review to ensure schools have up-to-date contact information, emergency contacts, student health records and more. It is important for schools to have current information in order to be notified in case of emergency, changes in the school schedule and to receive regular communication from the schools and district.

All District 196 parents and guardians are encouraged to have an Infinite Campus Parent account of their own to stay involved in their child’s education, and to access end-of-term report cards, transcripts, attendance and other important information. Parents who do not have their own Infinite Campus Parent account can request an activation key from the office at their child’s school. For information on setting up an Infinite Campus Parent account and completing the online review, visit the Family Resources page on our district website.

We look forward to partnering with you to make 2021-22 a safe, fun and productive school year for all of our students and families.

Eastview High School's Counseling Office is here to help with lots of information for you and your family. Check back in this space for the most up-to-date counseling news!

Wednesday, Nov. 10 is the first day of the NCAA Early Signing Period for all sports EXCEPT football which begins their early signing in December. As of 2019, the NCAA process now allows signings for most sports almost any day of the year. As a result, we have not had individual signing ceremonies as a school the last few years, but instead celebrate our Senior Athletes with a much larger scale opportunity in the Spring that recognizes all of our athletes who will be continuing on to compete in athletics at the collegiate level regardless of division or receipt of athletic aid. Some individuals and programs will choose to celebrate collegiate signings in their own ways, but we will not hold a school-wide signing ceremony. Instead, our Spring Senior Athlete Celebration is where ALL of our athletes competing in collegiate athletics will be recognized along with our all-school athletic department award winners.

That being said, we’d like to send a list of our athletes who are officially signing a National Letters of Intent (NLI) and receiving athletic aid with Division I or II schools to the local papers and media outlets at different times throughout the year. If your son or daughter is planning to sign during the early period that starts next week, please send an email with the student name-school of choice-sport they are signing in to matt.percival@district196.org no later than November 8th. THANKS!

BOYS CROSS COUNTRY- Hunter Dunne Earns All-State XC Honors, Nate Getman Finishes 52nd

Senior XC powerhouse that is Hunter Dunne and Nate Getman completed their final meet in an Eastview uniform today with their performances at the MSHSL Class AAA state meet. On a perfect morning to race the two Lightning runners had a stellar race to finish in 18th and 52nd place respectively. The leaders of the race went out in a solid 4:20 first mile and formed a breakaway pack of roughly 20 runners. Behind this pack Dunne found himself off the front of the chase pack leading them through the mile in 4:55, while Getman was in the middle of this pack coming across the mile in 4:59.99 (a new PR for the mile).

After the first mile, Dunne held his position picking off a few runners from the pack in front of him while one or two runners from the chase pack passed him. His pace slowed to a 5:20 for the second mile, but so did the majority of the field. Getman ran a 5:29 second mile fighting to keep his place in the chase pack. Coming out of the two-mile Dunne used the wooded, downhill, portion of the race to make his move trying to gain ground. In the half mile from the 3200m to the 4k mark he was able to pick off 5 runners from ahead of him and was in 15th place with 1k to go. As he rounded the final corner and up the short hill that marked the finishing stretch he just ran out of steam and found a couple of competitors sprinting by him. However, he still finished in 18th place earning All-State honors with a time of 16:06.14. Getman continued to battle over the final mile finishing in 52nd place overall with a final time of 16:39.93.

Congratulations to both runners on a solid season. A special thank you to all of the teammates, family, and fans who traveled from near and far to come and support these two athletes. Good luck to all runners who are continuing on to compete at the Nike Heartland Regional Meet on Nov. 14th.
