Every school year, Edina Public Schools hosts around 25 French Interns in classrooms at Normandale, Valley View, and Edina High School. Working alongside school staff, the interns prepare lessons, assist with teaching, and enrich the classroom. Due to the pandemic, this year's internship was completely virtual. Edina teachers and students connected with interns via Google Meet, and used a variety of applications to assist in the learning process.

Masking outside applies to athletes
Per the Governor's announcement today, masks will no longer be required when students are outside on playgrounds or athletic fields. Masks will continue to be worn indoors, including classrooms and hallways. For health and safety reasons, EPS strongly encourages students and staff to wear masks while outside such as on the playground, during recess and during physical education classes. Classroom cohorts and social distancing of at least 3 feet will also continue. Face coverings will continue to be required indoors until the statewide requirement is lifted.
If someone has completed their COVID-19 vaccination series and is exposed they do not need to quarantine if ALL the following are true:
- The COVID-19 exposure was at least 14 days after their vaccination series was fully completed.
- They do not currently have any symptoms of COVID-19.
This includes staff and students. Be sure to notify your school Health Office with your student's vaccination dates if they have received a COVID-19 vaccine.
