Parent Post High School Planning Presentation- Monday, April 25th (evening of Parent/Teacher Conferences)
Parents of Juniors
EHS Counselors visited 11th grade students during their English class for an hour long presentation on Wednesday, April 6th. 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 son or daughter’s future planning. The google slide show we shared can be viewed HERE
Looking for Student Ambassadors
The purpose of the Student Ambassador (SA) program is to help new students at Eagan High School feel welcome and have a positive orientation experience. We are looking for responsible, friendly, open-minded students to represent EHS. Applications are due Monday, April 11th. Application Form (must use school google account to access application form)
Senior Retreat
On May 19th (Thursday) we will be taking the first 200 seniors who sign up to the Rosemount Community Center for the Senior “Wisdom” Retreat. The Wisdom Retreat is presented by Youth Frontiers and is designed for seniors to reflect, laugh, and share experiences that enable them to say goodbye to each other. This day inspires students to bring positive closure to their last days together as a class and to show appreciation to those who have supported them throughout these years.
If students are interested in attending, please sign up using MyPayments Plus. Cost is $25. Scholarships are available - message your counselor to request one!
Students will not want to miss out on this fun day!
T3 Grade/Pass Option Deadline:
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.
More information and the online registration can be found HERE
Peer Tutors Needed for Trimester 3!
