The Counseling Department will kick off the 2020-21 school year
with our annual Senior Parent Program discussing the nuts and bolts
of the college application process.
Tuesday, September 22nd
6:00pm
Senior parents are invited to attend this virtual meeting. Our synchronous presentation will be live on the EHS Counseling YouTube page (see link above). You can subscribe ahead of time and a reminder will be sent to you when we go live.
The program will consist of two parts. First, the counseling staff will discuss student/parent/counselor roles and responsibilities, and will share important information about the mechanics of applying; including timelines, processing paperwork, and testing. Seniors will continue to receive this material through Schoology posts that are sent out from the Counseling Office. Additionally, families will be able to view any of our presentations on the EHS website under the Student Services Tab – Class of 2021.
For the second half of the program, Heidi Meyer, Executive Director of Admissions at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities and Brian Lindeman, Director of Financial Aid at Macalester College in St. Paul will offer updates in regards to the application process as well as information regarding the 2020-21 FAFSA (financial aid). There will also be a brief Question & Answer session with some EHS Counselors following the presentation. We are expecting for the event to last approximately one hour.
Please know that if you are unable to join us, a video recording of the presentation will be posted on the EHS Student Services website the following day.

Covid Monitoring & Decision Tree |

This tool from MDH provides guidance for children, students, or staff members who are experiencing symptoms consistent with COVID-19, or who have been around someone who has tested positive for COVID-19. Use this document to help guide your decision making with evaluating what to do with symptoms and exposure |

For students who are driving to school with non-household carpool members, it is important to remember to be safe! Wearing masks when in a vehicle with others helps contain the spread of COVID-19.
As riding in a vehicle does not allow for 6 feet of physical distancing, EHS and MDH views passengers in a vehicle as "close contacts", subject to 14 day quarantine if exposed to a positive COVID-19 case.
This is another example of why it is so important to practice safe behaviors, both inside and outside the walls of EHS.
|
|
Students, staff and anyone at Edina High School must wear a mask or face covering(worn properly over the nose and mouth) when in the building.
If you are outside the building you must wear a mask or face covering when you cannot maintain 6' of distance from others.

All lockers will be given out via school email. DO NOT stop in the main office for lockers. Lockers are available for all students. Students keep the same locker each year until graduation. If you had a locker in the past, that is your locker until graduation. If you forgot your combination or locker number, email edinahigh@edinaschools.org from your school email and we will send you that information. We cannot send information to personal email accounts. For any student that does not have a locker, we ask that you walk your schedule for the first week and decide where you would like your locker. Once you have determined the location, please email edinahigh@edinaschools.org with a locker number and description of the location (include floor #) close to where you would like a locker. We will try to get you a locker as close to that location as possible. We will send your locker number and combination to your school email.

Summer Food Service Program extended through December 2020
ALL students may have FREE lunch and breakfast

This means ALL students under age 18 may receive a free breakfast and free lunch per day, if they choose, through EPS Food and Nutrition Services. Student eligibility status is not required for the SFSP program so lunch accounts will NOT be charged; ALL meals are FREE.
Students learning in EVA and Hybrid programs may pick up meals for days they are not in the school building - five days of meals for EVA students, and three days of meals for Hybrid students.

Edina Give and Go supports students living in households earning 200% or below the poverty line. Last year, roughly 10% of Edina Public Schools students qualified for Give and Go support, and they anticipate that COVID-19 has put even more families in difficult financial situations. Edina Give and Go is working to create access to incremental learning support options for qualified students during this critical school year.
If you are looking for support for your student or you want to contribute financially to help students access Edina Give and Go resources, click here.
