SES Junior students' reflective pond and river writings were recently featured in a special Write to the River - School of Environmental Studies Edition.

This is part of the district’s plan to centralize our content management systems and improve communication between schools and families by providing a consistent, user-focused experience across all school websites.

There are numerous options for tenth-grade students and their parents to learn more about SES and the opportunities the school has to offer.

We partnered with We Share Solar and Wells Fargo to build Solar Suitcases to send to schools at the Kakuma Refugee Camp in Kenya, where there is a lack of access to electricity.

The deadline to apply is Thursday, Dec. 19, and a lottery will be conducted to determine enrollment.

Superintendent Mary Kreger provides an update on summer programs and meals and a message to the Class of 2020, and shares remarks about the recent events in Minnesota.

With new guidance from the state, the committee can complete its work on a plan that fits the required guidelines and celebrates our students.

There will be no distance learning May 1 and 4, however free meals will still be available. Also, students will be able to keep devices this summer.

All cocurricular activities and on-site events are also canceled. Alternate plans for graduation are currently being discussed. 

Based on the addition of new safety and security improvements, the benefit of key features and our familiarity with the system, the district has decided to continue using Zoom.

The national Schoology and Seesaw support teams are monitoring the situation and working hard to minimize any disruptions to service to member districts.

We are committed to the goal of providing meaningful learning opportunities and personalized connections between students/families and teachers/school staff during this time.

Free meals will be available at five school locations or dropped off at neighborhood sites around District 196. 

Transcript of Superintendent Mary Kreger's latest update to families regarding COVID-19.

In response to Governor Walz’ executive order, all of our schools and buildings are closed until at least Monday, March 30. Only essential staff will be in the buildings. 

In the event schools will remain closed after spring break, the district will implement its e-learning plan. Options are available for students and staff who do not have access to reliable internet.

Grab-and-go meals will be available March 16-20, and child care is being offered only for children of health care workers and emergency personnel. 

This includes all programs and activities. Teachers will not be providing instruction this week. School buildings will be open Monday, March 16 from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. to allow families to collect necessary items.

Effective Saturday, March 14, all District 196 Community Education evening and weekend classes, and facility rentals are also canceled through March 29. As a reminder, all Minnesota State High School League-sponsored events, games and tournaments are canceled. We are following MSHSL guidelines in allowing practice until further notice.

District 196 schools remain open and classes are being held as scheduled. However, all school-sponsored evening activities at District 196 schools are canceled, except Community Education classes.

Parents in the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan Public Schools interested in becoming involved in districtwide conversations regarding curriculum, instruction and assessment are encouraged to apply for membership on the district’s Curriculum and Instruction Advisory Council (CIAC).

District 196 students in grades 9 and 12 will have a flexible learning day at home on Tuesday, April 7, due to ACT testing for students in grades 10 and 11 that will take place at Apple Valley, Eagan, Eastview and Rosemount high schools that day.

District 196 will continue to use FeePay through this school year and plan to have a replacement service in place for the start of the 2020-21 school year this fall.

District 196 has added text messaging to the list of ways we communicate. Parents/guardians must opt-in to receive text messages by texting “Y” to 67587.

Representatives from approximately 30 colleges and universities will be on hand to provide information about educational opportunities, campus life, financial aid and the college application process.

FeePay system is back online, however Sourcewell has said families may still experience some intermittent disruptions with this transition. They have provided guidance for the most common situations that may occur.
