2nd Semester Student Schedule Changes
|
|
If students are looking for a 2nd semester schedule change please keep the following in mind:
We
will
only make a schedule change for the following reasons:
- Missing a graduate requirement
- Failed a full year class first semester
- To add a Student Prep or Teacher Assistant
- Level change
- Filling an open period
Any of the above if space is available
We
won’t
make a change for the following reasons:
- Teacher change
- Re-arrange schedule for any reasons (Ex. friends, lunch, extra-curricular activities, work, student prep)
- Swapping one elective for another

Join the EHS Parent Mosaic!
The EHS Parent Mosaic is a group of parents who have committed to building relationships cross culturally throughout the EHS parent community. We believe that the more EHS parents know each other, especially those they might not interact with otherwise, the more they understand each other, and the stronger our community will be. We are a team of parents who have become friends. Mosaic parents meet one evening per month throughout the school year. We listen to each other’s stories, we learn together and from each other, and we laugh together. We have found that we have a lot in common!
And, there is also great food involved!!! In our meetings, we do not focus on politics or current events. We focus on ourselves and our own personal growth. We focus on our kids and our school. We don’t focus on who is right or wrong. We focus on listening and learning from each other’s experience. In addition to our monthly meetings, we volunteer together at school events such as Get Connected Day, Curriculum night, and Finals.
We meet in the EHS Commons.
Our remaining meeting dates for the 2018-2019 school year are:
January 14, from 6:30 – 8:00
February 11, from 6:30 – 8:00
March 11, from 6:30 – 8:00
April 17, from 6:30 – 8:00
May 20, from 6:30 – 8:00
New members join us all year long. We ask members to share what they learn and invite their friends to join us too. No level of commitment is too great or too small. Just be part of the conversation. If you have any questions or would like to join us, please contact Assistant Principal, Mike Pretasky, 952-848-3140 or
co-chair, Angella McGarvey, 612-310-3909.

You are invited on January 30 to welcome in the New Year by sharing a bit about yourself and listening as others do the same at the first annual Edina Story Night. At this event, parents and students will have the opportunity to tell the story of an experience from their lives which was both transformational for them and gave them hope. Come and learn a bit more about some of the students and parents from our EHS community and leave feeling a bit more connected. This event will be hosted by Mosaic.

American Mathematics Competition (AMC)
|
|
The American Mathematics Competitions are fun for all students who like math problem solving and enjoy challenging themselves to do the best they can.
Both the AMC 10 and the AMC 12 are 25-question, 75-minute multiple-choice contests. The AMC 12 covers the high school mathematics curriculum, excluding calculus. The AMC 10 covers subject matter normally associated with grades 9 and 10. To challenge students at all grade levels and with varying mathematical skills, the problems range from fairly easy to extremely difficult. Approximately 12 questions are common to both contests.
Typically, students who score in the top 5% on the AMC 12 or the top 2.5% on the AMC 10 are invited to take the American Invitational Mathematics Exam (AIME).
Students may not use calculators on the contests.
Competition dates are:
AMC-A: Thursday February 7

AMC-B: Wednesday February 13
