Back to School Information

Back-to-school immunization clinics available for students

District 196 has partnered with Homeland Health to offer free back-to-school immunization clinics for students beginning August 24. Participation in these clinics is voluntary, with the purpose to bring students up-to-date with their immunizations. The clinics are funded through COVID-19 relief funding.

To enroll in child care, early childhood programs and school in Minnesota, parents or guardians must show that their child has received the required immunizations for their age or file a legal exemption. Parents may file a medical exemption signed by a health care provider or a conscientious objection signed by a parent or guardian and notarized. This information must be on file with the school nurse before the first day of school.

All required school vaccinations and the COVID-19 vaccination will be available at these events. No appointments are necessary. For more information about immunizations, visit the Health Services webpage, District196.org/services/health-services/immunizations.

School Photos/ID Cards

Students in grades 9, 10 and 11, and any senior new to EHS, will need a photo taken for their new ID cards and the yearbook (except 12th graders) by Lifetouch on Thursday, September 1.

Returning seniors will receive a 2022-2023 ID card using their junior year photos. Students in grades 9, 10 and 11 will receive order info for photo packages in PAWS on August 31st.

After waiving the fee the last two years, District 196 is once again offering an optional iPad Protection Plan for the 2022-23 school year to help protect against unexpected costs for accidental damage to, or loss of a district-issued iPad. Prior to 2020-21 and again this upcoming school year, families may opt into the protection plan for $20 per iPad for the entire school year. There is a reduced fee for students eligible for the Educational Benefits Program, so it is recommended that parents and guardians complete that application first. Go tohttps://www.district196.org and select Services/Food and Nutrition Services.

All families are asked to accept or decline the optional iPad Protection Plan by Monday, September 19, at which time a non-response will be considered declining the offer. To make their choice, parents and guardians log into their MyPaymentsPlus account, do a search for “iPad” and select one of only two options presented: to accept the protection plan or to decline it. Both options include the Student User Agreement for review and acknowledgement. For directions on using MyPaymentsPlus or creating an account, go to https://www.district196.org and select Community/Family Resources. For assistance, families should contact their child’s school.

Regular School Day Schedule - Beginning Thursday September 1st

Students Who are New to District196 for School - Technology Devices and Training Offered

Eagan High School will be hosting our first ever New Student Technology Academies for students who are new to ISD 196. This will provide students with an opportunity to get their iPads and learn about how to navigate through Schoology and some other apps that students use at EHS.

The Academy for Freshmen new to the district will be held from 1:30-2:30 PM on Monday, August 29th in the EHS Library. Please plan to drop your student off at the EHS south entry (the horseshoe shaped driveway in between EHS and DHMS) and we will guide them from there. Please note this is not a session for students who completed their 8th grade year in District 196.

The Academy for new Sophomore-Senior students who are new to the district will be part of an entire morning of activities on Wednesday, August 31st for all of our new students in grades 10-12. Students in this group will report directly to the Library at 7:40 am on August 31.

Unfortunately, there are no alternative times for students who cannot attend their assigned time. Students unable to get their Ipads during these times will receive them during the first two days of school.

All high school activity buses will depart at 4:50pm and middle school buses at 5:00pm beginning Wednesday, August 31. We are also implementing a new Activity Annual Pass or One (1) Day pass for students needing the late bus home from school. The annual pass will be for students participating in after school sports or club and the one day pass will be for students staying after school for other reasons. Students with the annual pass will need to hold onto the pass for the year and present to the driver when they board the bus. The one day pass will be collected from the student when they board the bus. Students will not be allowed on the activity bus if they do not have a pass.

This pass can be requested by filling out the form at this link - Pass Request Form The pass will tell you what color bus to ride and the location of your bus stop. Please stop by the Main Office to pick up your pass.

Activity Buses leave at 4:50 PM from the East Entrance
