Many students choose to visit colleges (during a typical year, that is). 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!

Covid Monitoring & Decision Tree |
|
This tool from MDH provides guidance for children, students, or staff members who are experiencing symptoms consistent with COVID-19, or who have been around someone who has tested positive for COVID-19. Use this document to help guide your decision making with evaluating what to do with symptoms and exposure. |
|
Do not come to school if you have any of the symptoms below.
If you develop any of the these symptoms during the day while at school, please go to the nurse's office.
|
|
Students, staff and anyone at Edina High School must wear a mask or face covering (worn properly over the nose and mouth) when in the building.
If you are outside the building you must wear a mask or face covering when you cannot maintain 6' of distance from others.
|
|
For students who are driving to school with non-household carpool members, it is important to remember to be safe! Wearing masks when in a vehicle with others helps contain the spread of COVID-19.
As riding in a vehicle does not allow for 6 feet of physical distancing, EHS and MDH views passengers in a vehicle as "close contacts", subject to 14 day quarantine if exposed to a positive COVID-19 case.
This is another example of why it is so important to practice safe behaviors, both inside and outside the walls of EHS.

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. |
