Dear EHS Families - A Message from the Principal
Thank you for your support and assistance! Thank you for keeping students at home when they have symptoms and testing for COVID. Following the holiday break, our case numbers are significantly increasing - as are numbers everywhere. Please be sure to have students stay home if they test positive for COVID. Currently we are enforcing the 10-day isolation period at our schools. The Minnesota Department of Health will provide any further guidance soon.
We all need to work together in order to stay safe, continue to offer in-person education and persist through this pandemic. Stay warm!
Sincerely,
Dr. Polly Reikowski, Principal

Bus Schedules May Change Due to Driver Shortage - District 196 message to families Jan. 5th
Due to the nationwide shortage of bus drivers and absences because of COVID-19, the district faces daily challenges to ensure that bus routes to and from school are covered. These staff shortages may cause sudden bus schedule changes. To stay up to date on your child’s transportation schedule, parents are encouraged to download the mobile app Here Comes The Bus. The app allows parents to monitor arrival and drop-off times of their child’s bus, and is used by the District 196 Transportation Department to communicate directly to parents in real time about delays in bus arrival, bus number changes and more. To set up an account, download Here Comes The Bus and use the school district’s ID number 73500 and your child’s lunch account number/PIN (available in Infinite Campus Parent Portal). Parents can monitor buses for multiple children from a single account. More information can be found at www.District196.org/services/transportation/here-comes-the-bus.
District 196 Community Education
Diaper Drive: January 10th – 21st
The Open-Door Pantry in Eagan has an increased need for diapers of all sizes. The pandemic has been very hard on families and a shortage of diapers has become a challenge.
In response to this need, the EHS Interact Club is organizing a diaper drive. This Diaper Drive will take place from January 10th – 21st. You can drop off diapers of any size at both EHS entrances. You will notice tubs and signs posted at both the east and south entrances. You can also drop off donated diapers outside Room 236 (Mr. Wirsbinski’s Room).
This drive has been planned in conjunction with EHS Parent/Teacher Conferences. As you arrive for conferences on January 20th or 21st, you can easily drop off your diapers as you enter school.
In the midst of this pandemic, it is wise to consult the advice of a doctor (Dr. Suess):
“Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not.”
