“coming together is a beginning...keeping together is progress...working together is success!” January 2010 Volume Thirteen Number Two …our achievement is intentional and happens by design ing Matters n r a Le I tS t ar ts W ith Me Perspectives from the Principal… Eastview High School Exceptional achievement does not happen in isolation. At Eastview High School our achievement is intentional and happens by design, taking full advantage of the many supportive adults (parents, teachers and counselors) in the Eastview Learning Community. We will continue to challenge ALL of our students to discover their unique abilities and to achieve – while also providing a relentless commitment to support each student on their personal journey. During the next few weeks our students will engage in making important academic and personal choices. Our current twelfth graders will soon be concluding their post high school decisions, while our underclassmen are initiating academic selections through the 2010-11 registration process, that will provide a springboard to post-secondary opportunities and success. We wish you the very best for an outstanding new year! Dr. Randall W. Peterson Principal – Eastview High School 2010-2011 REGISTRATION TIMELINE Tuesday, February 9������������ Students 9-11 receive registration materials. Wednesday, February 17���������� Students in grades 9-11 complete the on-line registration process by this date. Wednesday, March 10��������������� Final date to make adjustments to student registration for 2010-2011. Registration Communication Parents with questions regarding the registration process or course selection may contact the student’s current teacher, guidance counselor or the academic department leader. Email contacts are listed in the EVHS Calendar/Guidebook or on our website. • Teachers are the student’s primary registration advisors. (e.g. If a student has an English course question, please see the current English teacher.) • Counselors will be available in the commons, during student lunch periods in February, to answer registration questions.

Students will register on-line at www.district196.org/evhs between February 9 and February 17. Guidance Department Applying for Financial Aid 1. All financial aid begins with the (FAFSA) Free Application for Federal Student Aid. The forms can be completed on line at www.fafsa.gov. This application is the basis for qualifying for any federally or state funded financial aid program. Some individual colleges may require a CSS Profile in order to obtain additional financial information. 2. Families and students should complete their taxes as soon as possible. With this information, fill out the FAFSA and send it in. It is an advantage to complete the FAFSA early. (If you cannot complete your taxes early, do not wait. You may use estimates, but you will be required to provide verification later.) 3. Within 3-6 weeks, the Department of Education will send you an acknowledgement which includes your Expected Family Contribution and any eligibility for the Federal Pell Grant. The EFC is the amount of money that your family is expected to contribute toward the student’s education. This amount stays the same regardless of the cost of the school to which the student applies. 4. Your college(s) will use the EFC to determine your financial need with a simple formula: Cost of the school – EFC = Financial Need. For example, if the cost of the school is $16,000 and your EFC is $9,000 then your financial need at that college is $7,000. 5. It is then up to the college to try to meet that need. Your college will then construct a financial aid package that may include scholarships, grants, loans, and work study. You will receive notice of that package in an Award Letter from the financial aid office. Just Say “NO” to Unsupervised Spring Break Trips We are approaching the time of year when your senior and sometimes your junior student is being approached by fellow classmates and travel agency representatives to consider a spring break to Mexico or other tropical destinations. Many trip packages include such things as: 36 hours of free drinks; hotels across the street from 5 major bars; foam dancing; and drinking boat tours. Eastview High School does not authorize nor do we promote these spring break trips. Eastview’s Parents Are Key (PAK) and Eastview High School believe groups of students should always be supervised by parents or teachers during spring break trips. We see these trips as a serious health and safety issue for your teen. Because nothing is more important than the health and safety of our children, we are including this information to Eastview parents to caution you about a real and serious threat to your child’s health and safety. The Star Tribune ran a 3-day series of articles about teen drinking. Those articles created a clear, yet frightening description of what happens when teens are allowed to go to Mexico during spring break. 1. “More than 1,000 Twin Cities-area high school students flocked to this mecca of drinking, parties, sun and sex last spring, enabled by parents who don’t say no.” 2. “For seven days, most of these kids rarely will be sober, 6.

This large group of dedicated and talented students allowed the team to be competitive in multiple debate formats. In public forum debate, this year’s group of seniors did something that no Eastview debate team had ever done. At the Central MN NFL debate tournament, three Eastview teams qualified for nationals (taking all three available slots). Eastview had never qualified more than one team to nationals before. A week earlier, the public forum team closed out the MDTA championship tournament, taking the top two places in the varsity division. National qualifiers were Michelle McGuire and Sneha Somani, Bryan Larson and Anthony Stagner and Sarah Malaske and Jason Vanderlinden. In classic debate, Eastview captured state championships in both the novice and varsity divisions. The team also won the Governor’s Cup, the championship tournament sweepstakes award for the strongest overall team. This was Eastview’s 6th classic debate championship in eight years of Minnesota State High School League sponsorship. Mark Besonen and Paige Kelly won the varsity State Championship. In Lincoln-Douglas debate, Maddie Johnson and Caitlin Moran represented Eastview at the state debate tournament. http://www.district196.org/evhs/activities/finearts/ debate/ Eastview’s Science Olympiad Wins Lake Conference Championship The 2009-2010 Eastview Science Olympiad team recently competed in the Lake Conference competition on January 16.

Eastview High School Places 4th out of 435 Minnesota State High School League Member Schools in the “Challenge Cup!” Each year the MSHSL awards the “Challenge Cup” to the school with greatest amount of post season success across all of the activities the MSHSL offers.

Even with that challenge each year since the award was first introduced our teams have continued to climb closer and closer to the top of the list. An unprecedented 26 of 39 MSHSL Activities State Tournaments had an Eastview individual and/or team participating!
