ECHS will be participating in the Trunk or Treat event on Monday, Oct. 30th.  We are still collecting candy donations to hand out to children.  If you are able to donate some candy, please send it to school Monday. 








Homecoming was a blast last Friday!  Many of the ECHS students attended the football game last Friday and some even participated in the skits.  The senior class was awarded best skit.







Saturday was the homecoming dance and we had approximately 100 ECHS students attend.  There were over 500 students in the Multi-Purpose room at Rodriguez.  It was a pleasure seeing the students dressed up and having a good time.







Monday I had the privilege of spending some time in one of the 10th grade College Readiness classes.  Students worked together in tutorial groups.  ECHS students work collaboratively and help each other out with their high school and college work.  




Wednesday night I had the opportunity to watch some ECHS students play Waterpolo before heading to Mae's Counselor Night.  Mae did a transcript review with parents, talked about our 4-year plan and IGETC, and introduced parents to Naviance.  Students will be using Naviance more and more in their College Readiness classes.  Naviance helps students with interest surveys, career searches, college searches, scholarship matches, and much more.  If you would like Mae to send you the slides from the presentation or if you have any questions please email her at MaeV@fsusd.org





Thursday, we honored the students who earned a 3.5 GPA or higher last semester.  Students received pins and academic letters along with a frozen yogurt treat.  The booster groups (PTSO, Atheltic Booster, and the REU) donated gift cards that were raffled off as well.  55 students made the honor roll and received academic awards.  That number should double when we do this again next semester and the freshman are eligible.  












Thursday night, I attended the FSUSD Governing Board meeting.  ECHS 9th grade students Davin So and Ainsley Purcell, were honored for achieving the highest possible scaled score in Math on the CAASPP last year in 8th grade.  Great job Davin and Ainsley!






Senior Pitches continued throughout the week.  Monday, Wednesday, and Friday seniors presented their ideas for Personal or Career Exploration, Community Service, and Creative Arts.  After sitting on the panel all week it is clear that these projects are going to be amazing and ECHS students go above and beyond!









Have a wonderful weekend everybody!

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
