Pre-ACT and ACT testing on Tuesday, April 5
Students in Grades 10 and 11 will report to EHS no later than 7:40 AM for the assigned testing location for the Pre-ACT (grade 10) and the ACT (grade 11) on Tuesday, April 5. Buses will run as usual. Breakfast and Lunch will be provided for students.. Your student may also choose to depart after testing – with your permission if that is your choice. Students will be provided with information about test location (classroom assigned for the student) and the conditions for valid testing.
Students in Grades 9 and 12 will be required to open Schoology and complete the work assigned in each of their classes. They will not be at EHS, but will be working from their homes using iPads and Schoology. If a student needs to come into school for internet access, they may do so. They would report to the EHS cafeteria to work using our internet and receiving breakfast and lunch during the day. Buses will run on the usual schedule. Teachers will be busy proctoring the ACT and Pre-ACT so they will not be conducting classes. Teachers will have time in the afternoon between 12:30 and 3 PM to respond to emails from students if help is required.
Trimester 3 Grade/Pass Option:
Grade/Pass Option agreements are due via online registration by Tuesday, May 3rd. Students may take up to 1 class per trimester on a Grade/Pass Option basis. This option allows students to explore their interests in challenging subjects without the risk of negatively impacting their grade point average. The decision to take the grade or the pass is ultimately made at the end of the trimester. Filling out the form does not require the student to take the Pass.

The Interact Club’s Eagan Community Foundation Youth Philanthropy Grants Team.
12 EHS Interact leaders worked with Jamie Hopkins to award grants to worthy applicants. All 12 found it to be an incredibly valuable experience. They made difficult decisions and were allowed to voice their opinion. But the process required collaboration and compromise.

COVID-19 Data Shared on Dashboard
Specific COVID-19 information, including data of student positive cases, school-specific cases, county cases and vaccination rate, is updated weekly on our COVID-19 Dashboard available on all school websites. (Be sure to scroll down the site until you can click on High Schools). School COVID-19 teams will no longer send case notifications to families. Families must maintain personal mitigation efforts, with or without a notification , and direct their attention to monitoring symptoms, keeping students home when sick and frequent screening as necessary.
We need all community members to care for each other and their community by practicing universal precautions:
- Monitor for symptoms every day
- Stay home when sick and test
- Get vaccinated and boosted as soon as you are eligible
- Test frequently for COVID
These mitigation strategies are repeated frequently to members of our learning community, but remain the most effective strategy. We recommend parents to check the COVID-19 dashboard regularly for updates, as well as using the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s daily county case rate tracker.
