Parents of Juniors
EHS Counselors visited 11th grade students during their English class for an hour long presentation on Wednesday, April 5th. We shared some helpful information and timelines for spring, summer, fall college and career planning. Students used Naviance Student and other technology related to post-secondary planning. This lesson is part of the District 196 MyPlan comprehensive counseling curriculum; each student’s high school academic, career, personal/social post-secondary plan. This is a great opportunity for you (as parents) to discuss your student’s future planning. View Slide Show Presentation HERE

Mental Health Minute: Anxiety
We are entering the 'academic burnout' phase of the year. Students and educators may be feeling mentally, physically and emotionally exhausted. Spring break can provide a needed respite, but it may be important to recognize increasing signs of stress in your student. According to the 2022 MN Student Data Survey, 50% of 8th graders and 59% of 11th graders reported feeling bothered by not being able to stop or control worrying over the previous 2 weeks. We will focus on anxiety in this month's Mental Health Minute. You will learn to recognize anxiety, understand the contributing factors, and provide some guidance on how to help.
