Drop Off and Yearbook Pickup Details
|
|
TRUNK/HATCH EXCHANGE
All students and family members must stay in their vehicles. Pack all items to be returned in the rear hatch or trunk of your car and then pop it open for staff to retrieve them and place items in.
DISPLAY STUDENT NAME IN DRIVER SIDE WINDOW
The student(s) name should be visible in large letters in a driver side window of the vehicle for easy identification. You do not need to open the car window. If your ordered a personalized yearbook, please indicate that on the sign as well.
All staff and volunteers working at this event will be screened for COVID19 symptoms and be wearing personal protective equipment, gloves and masks. All students and family members in the vehicle must be free of COVID19 symptoms. We can create alternate plans to drop off and pick up items on an individual basis if necessary.
The first step for all students is to enter the South lot of the high school from the East and follow the path marked by cones and signage. There will be several drop off zones.
Drop off items include:
- All textbooks and novels that have been checked out from the school. (All students)
- All technology checked out from the school such as Chromebooks, chargers, hot spots, and calculators. (Only Seniors and students not returning to EHS. All other students please keep devices.)
- District-provided technology must have all personalization (ie: stickers) removed and be accompanied by compatible accessories such as a charger.
- Students who return devices in non-working order will be assigned a fee.
- Musical instruments that belong to the school. (All Students)
- Art supplies that belong to the school. (All Students)
- Elevator keys checked out from the nurse’s office. Students will also pick-up any medications that are still being stored at school. They will be bagged and labeled at this drop-off table. (All Students)
After all items have been dropped off and scanned in by a staff member, your vehicle will be marked, indicating that you are clear to leave the drop-off area and proceed to the pick-up area.
The pick-up area will be in the North lot of the high school and will be divided into 6 lanes by alphabet. Students will drive through their lane to receive their cap and gown (Seniors) , yearbooks (if purchased), remaining locker contents (seniors and non-returning students only), etc. Students can purchase a yearbook at this drop-off/pick-up event by bringing a check made out to EHS Whigrean for $100. If you purchased a personalized yearbook, please indicate that on the same paper with the students name in the drivers side window. Students will have the option to proceed to an area set up by the Senior party (more details to come from the Senior party) or follow signs to the exit. Students will return to the South lot and exit onto Valley View Road going right (West) to help with traffic flow. Again, there will be ample signage to help guide drivers.
The format for this will be drive-through. Students will not leave their cars.

Class of 2020 Graduation Information
|
|
This year the Edina High School 2020 Commencement will be part of a city-wide celebration of our graduates. While it may not look like our traditional commencement exercises, it is our opportunity to come together to celebrate the class of 2020! Edina High School is partnering with our PTO and Senior Party planning committee to make this a unique and amazing experience. The Senior Party committee encourages each family as well as their neighbors to decorate their homes and streets with Edina colors or lights in honor of the class of 2020. We invite everyone to participate! More information from the Senior Party committee will be communicated in the near future.
THE VIRTUAL COMPONENT - SATURDAY, MAY 30TH at 6:00 PM
Since we are not allowed to gather, our commencement speeches from
our student speakers, staff speaker, Superintendent Schultz, Principal Beaton,
and the School Board will be recorded. The link to this recording will be made available to seniors and families on May 30 at 6 p.m..
We are also exploring other means of broadcasting these speeches.

THE DISTRIBUTION OF DIPLOMA COVERS - SUNDAY, MAY 31ST
This year, the six EHS administrators as well as Dr. Schultz will be traveling in seven processions, each led by a decorated school bus, to the home of each of our resident and non-resident graduating seniors to deliver their diploma cover in person. The hope is that this approach offers the opportunity for the graduating senior to be celebrated by their families and neighbors.
A photographer will be traveling in each procession to get a photo of the graduate. Family can be included in the photo if desired. We will share these photos with families and also use them in a commencement slideshow which will be released in June. We anticipate that it will take a full day for each procession to visit each home. As soon as we have more information from senior families we will design the routes and give each family a window of time when they can expect the arrival of their graduate’s diploma cover. We certainly do not want graduates to have to wait around all day as they may have other celebrating they wish to do!
In preparation for the arrival of the procession, we ask that graduates be outside, dressed in their cap and gown, and have a table or some surface on which the diploma can be placed. There can be no handshake but there will be plenty of congratulations and long distance hugs! Unlike when we have names read at Mariucci and a stage to cross during a traditional graduation ceremony, we do not want this event to be quiet and subdued. We want to hear cheers from entire neighborhoods! These seniors have earned it! We understand that this is not the graduation that any of us anticipated, but it is now up to us to make it amazing for the Class of 2020!

Second Celebration if Possible
