just changed by a few minutes. ABAs due at 3:30pm.

Distance learning flex schedule
FLEX day schedule: teachers might be requesting you during a specific class time on Wednesday because of the FLEX focused day. Students are required to attend if a teacher requests you. You will be marked absent if you do not attend. We strongly encourage you to meet with your teachers at these times and get support in your classes. If you want to attend a teacher’s FLEX time and haven’t been requested, you can also opt in to go. The teacher might be working on something particular during this time, so we would suggest sending them an email and asking them about it as well. No ABAs

Whigrean Yearbook Order Deadline |
|
As we near the end of first semester, we also near the deadline to buy your yearbooks. Your last chance to buy a GUARANTEED yearbook is January 29th. Jostens WILL NOT guarantee you a yearbook if you attempt to order one after January 29th.
Don't miss out on the last chance to guarantee the purchase
of this year’s amazing yearbook!

Semester 2 Parking Permits |
|
Students that have a parking permit from 1st semester will keep
their same parking permit. As long as we remain in the hybrid learning
model, there will not be an additional fee for 2nd semester for
anyone that has already paid for their permit.
If there are students that would like to purchase a parking permit for
2nd semester, we have church parking permits available for $30.
There are no EHS parking permits available.
In the event that we return to full-time face-to-face learning, students will
need to re-register for new parking permits based on the priority list typically used. This is due to more students needing to park in the lots on a single day.
To be clear, we do not have any information about when EHS may be able to
return to full-time face-to-face learning.
The options are Calvary, St. Patrick's or St. Albans.

Junior Parent Post-Secondary
Exploration Conversation Presentation

Whether you were in attendance or not, the evening was recorded for students and families to view here (the presentation starts at around 9:00 minutes) at their leisure.
In addition, video break-out presentations are available for your viewing on possible topics of specific interest. These video topics include: NCAA eligibility, Post-Secondary Enrollment Options (PSEO), financial aid process and military academy admission and can be found on this playlist. We also have created a Junior Resource loaded with tools and strategies for post-secondary planning.

Mid-year Reports for Colleges |
|
The class of 2021 is entering the second half of senior year and we wanted
to pass along a quick update. As semester one comes to an end, some colleges
may request a mid-year report. Mid-year reports refer to a student’s final first
semester grades of senior year on their transcript. After grades are posted from semester one, we will process these reports and send them to colleges.
We will be sending mid-year reports automatically to schools through Naviance. Students do not need to request them from their counselor. If a student
has a unique or extenuating situation that has happened since applying,
please encourage them to talk directly to their school counselor.

Many students choose to visit colleges this time of year (during a typical year, that is). Crisp fall air, campus Homecoming traditions and the MEA long weekend are all reasons why students would often choose to go and see some potential college-homes. This year will be different and many colleges are choosing to forgo in-person tours. With college-exploration, there are a few options for students to still explore potential post-secondary fits!
We are continuing a robust schedule of college admission representative virtual visits. These meetings are designed to put students in direct contact with the admissions folks who know their schools best. Check out the link for a list of what colleges are
coming when - also find a tutorial on how to sign up for the visits!

Pay Fees in Infinite Campus |
|
Classroom materials and library books are essential to student learning. When materials are lost or damaged, students are asked to pay a replacement cost. To make things easier for families, those fees may be paid in Infinite Campus. If you receive an email telling you that your student has a fee or missing books/items, please login to the Parent Portal and use the tutorial below to see what fee has been assigned or to find out what book/item is missing. You can pay for the missing book/item or the fee in Infinite Campus. If you need help with your login information, please email parentportal@edinaschools.org. |

Black History Month Student Media Project
The City of Edina is looking to highlight the voices of young student leaders and the ways they honor Black History Month. This is an opportunity to be featured on the City's social media channels and answer the following questions:
- What does Black History Month mean to you?
- How do you envision a just and equitable future?
- How did you celebrate your joy this past year?
- Does Black History Month mean anything different to you after 2020's civil rights uprising?
- How do you celebrate Black history, culture, and art year-round?
You're free to answer any of these questions as they relate to racial justice, personal reflections, and social issues. Your answer is a space for your own thoughts, feelings, and ideas. This project will center Black student voices, but anyone and everyone is welcome to share what Black History Month means to them.
If you wish to participate, please submit your responses and a photo (of yourself, artwork you've created, a poem you've written, a picture of an important place- really anything that you feel goes along with your answer) by Friday, Jan. 22th. Remember that responses will be shared on official City of Edina social media channels. Submissions, along with any questions you may have, can be sent to HMadkour@EdinaMN.gov. Selected submissions will be notified by
Wednesday, Jan. 27. Participants may be asked to sign a photo release and
allow minor editing from Communications staff for AP Style.
