Last night, the Eastern Carver County School District announced the cancellation of the Chanhassen-Chaska varsity football game, scheduled for the evening of Friday, October 16, and the Chanhassen-Chaska junior varsity game on Saturday, October 17. The 9th grade football game on Thursday, October 15, will continue as scheduled. The cancellation was necessitated by a COVID-19-related quarantine impacting the Chanhassen football program.
Spectator capacity limited at upcoming home high school football games – community invited to watch varsity games live online.

It’s hard to believe October is underway, and that we have a month of school already behind us. In an uncertain and changing environment, that’s an accomplishment to be celebrated. I’d like to thank our incredible staff and our fantastic students and families for all you have done to get us off to a strong start.

Students have multiple ways to access meals this fall depending on their grade level and learning model choice. On days when your student is learning in their school building, they will visit our kitchens and cafeterias but with extra safety and physical distancing measures in place.
