Senior Pitches have begun!  

7 of the Seniors presented their Senior Project plans today and they were great!  We heard about building a robot to help the blind, cleaning up a creek, volunteering in a hospital NICU, teaching little kids about science and doing experiments with them, starting a peer support group on campus, educating people about what food banks need and helping people in need with nutrition, participating in a fire academy and working with children on fire safety.  Jewel, Trinity, Joel H., Jaski, Nikki, Olivia, and Macen really set the bar high!  I can't wait to hear what the other senior students have been planning.  


Today Ms. Kandahari joined the panel to hear the pitches.  We are looking for other interested parents to participate.  If you are able to attend one of the sessions and help give students feedback on their pitches, please let me know.

Next week the pitches take place Monday 1:00-3:00, Wednesday 1:00-3:00, and Friday 10:00-11:00  all in Mr. Voyce's classroom 1642.








ECHS Parent Group

On Tuesday, the ECHS Parent Group met for the second time from 2:00-3:00.  This group provides a chance for parents to come and meet with me to hear directly about what is going on at ECHS, give feedback, and help plan future events.  If you would like to come, our next meeting is Tuesday, Nov. 14 from 2:00-3:00 in room 1635.

Homecoming

It's almost 5:00 so that's all from me today on the blog.  I need to head over to the Homecoming football game at RHS.  

Tomorrow night I will be at the Homecoming dance as well from 7:00-10:00.  We sold just under 100 tickets to ECHS students.  It will be great to see the students at both the game and dance.

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
