EHS Distance Learning Information

Edina Public Schools is joining the #BeTheLightMN movement to honor the
EHS Class of 2020 and we are inviting you to participate by turning on your front porch light! For the the remaining Mondays in April, the lights at Kuhlman Field will go on at 8:30 p.m. for 20 minutes and 20 seconds in honor of our EHS Seniors. We are asking that you help us honor them by turning on your front porch lights at the same time, for the same duration. (No front porch? Put a light in the window!)
Please note, this is
NOT
a call to come to the field.
Enjoy the glow of the field from afar and practice social distancing.
If we all turn on our lights, the neighborhoods will be glowing too!
Our stadium lights will burn brightly for 20:20, to honor our Seniors
and encourage them to stay strong.
We are proud of the Class of 2020!

SMath Center Online
Students use this resource for peer feedback for science or math!
Students fill out the form, describe their question, and potentially
insert an image of their work/process so far.
SMath tutors will manage the workflow and assign the problems out to
peer tutors to provide responses during their tutor period. Students should
receive feedback within 24 hours or less via their school email
SMath tutors have been specifically told to not answer the exact question
for the students. Tutors will provide helpful tools, strategies, steps, examples,
and resources for students to
learn
how to solve their problems.

School districts, including Edina, have put in place daily meal distribution for students in need. But it is not enough. While any student 18 and under is provided breakfast and lunch, district parents tell us overall food insecurity is a growing concern for their entire family, as businesses and organization shut down.
That’s why we have created the MealFund for Edina Public Schools COVID19 Response Fund. Working in partnership with Edina Education Fund, and Edina Give and Go, we have a goal to collect $75,000. We will use these donations to purchase and distribute evening meals, as quickly as possible, to families in need.
