Rodriguez High School is putting on a College Night for parents on Thursday, Sept. 7th  5:30-6:30pm in the RHS Library.  Below is the flyer that was emailed out to students and parents.  This is open to all parents including ECHS.  I highly suggest parents of 12th grade students consider attending.  There will be information on college applications, financial aid, and scholarship opportunities.

Both Early College and Rodriguez High School will not be giving the PSAT during the school day this year.  However, I do encourage all 10th and 11th grade students to take the PSAT.  We are offering it on Saturday, Oct. 14, in the morning at Rodriguez High School.  The cost will be $20 and the test will go on sale beginning Sept. 11th.  We will be sending out more information, but if you are interested in taking the PSAT save the date of Oct. 14th.  Below is a link for more PSAT information and practice opportunities.

This week, here during lunch, many of the ECHS students participated in the Solano Community College Club Rush.  So many students are getting involved in both our high school clubs as well as the college clubs.





























As I posted last week, Early College doesn't have a traditional back-to-school night but we are excited to talk to parents about the amazing things that are taking place here.  We hope you are able to join us for our Parent Nights that are held at Rodriguez High Library.






Please remember if you have any questions or concerns, you can reach me by phone or email.  School counselor, Mae Valles, and I are happy to set up appointments to go over individual academic plans with students and parents.


I hope everybody has a fun and safe Labor Day weekend!  There are no high school or college classes Monday.  Please remember we are on the Friday Bell Schedule when we return on Tuesday 9/5/17.

ECHS Back to School Nights It's almost time for Back to School Night. We do things a little differently than other schools.  The ECHS team hosts 3 nights (based on grade level) and provides a presentation for parents and guardians. At the conclusion of the presentation, we open it up for families to ask individual questions to our staff members.  If you are unable to attend in person, recordings of the presentations will be available for families to view at their convenience.  Our first night is tomorrow 8/24 from 6:00-7:30pm for 9th-grade families.  Our 10th-grade night is on 8/26 and our 11th-12th grade night is on 8/31. *Masks are required for everyone inside all buildings at Solano College.   Math Support I had the pleasure of visiting Mrs. Freitas' Math class last week.  The students were doing a hands-on activity from our Math Carnegie curriculum and we work in small groups.   We have additional after-school support for students who need Math help every Monday and Thursda

 Power Outage Friday morning sure was interesting at ECHS!  We went from extremely hot weather earlier in the week to a colder Friday morning with some rain, lightning, and thunder.  We were without power on parts of the campus for the zero period, first period, and part of the 3rd period.  We did our best by moving a couple classes into the cafeteria, using natural light, and placing emergency flashlight lanterns in classrooms.  I really appreciate the patience and flexibility demonstrated by our staff and students.   National Suicide Prevention Day Friday was National Suicide Prevention Day.  Daily Reminder cards were passed out to students with positive messages.  Students and staff also wore teal and purple to show support.   We are very excited to announce that we will be bringing Kaiser Permanente's Ghosted program to ECHS for the first time later this semester.  Ghosted is a program that reduces stigma and encourages open discussion, to help teens understand they are not alo
