2019 Spring Semester Our college registration window opens on Monday, December 10th at  9:30 am.  The students will log into their computers and complete the registration process in class.  I will be visiting classrooms to provide assistance to students who need additional help.    Ms. Mae sent an email to every ECHS student  with instructions on how to check to see that their special admissions form has been cleared.  She also sent students directions on how to register for their college courses for reference.  I attached her directions to the email I sent out to parents as well.   If students see an issue, they should email me right away.   Mental Health Awareness Week We concluded our Mental Health Awareness Week today with teachers talking to the students about self care.  The students and staff at ECHS discussed the tough topics of anxiety and depression earlier in the week.  It was great to see so many ECHS students of all grades wearing their green ribbo

  ECHS Mental Health Awareness Week Dec 3 - 7, 2018 Next week we are going to have a Mental Health Awareness Week here at ECHS.  During College Readiness class the teachers will be doing mini-lessons on depression, anxiety, and self-care.  The students will watch short videos, have class discussions, and receive support resources.  We will also be wearing green ribbons all week to show support for mental health.  We see this as such an important topic especially at this time of the year with the holidays and final exams coming up.  This can be a very stressful time and we want all of our students to be healthy and know that there are supports out there for them if needed.   Canned Food Drive We are having a class competition supporting the Contra Costa and Solano Food Bank.  Canned foods are now being collected.  11th and 12th grade students drop their cans off in room 1635.  9th and 10th grade students drop cans off in 1101.

Staff Contacts The ECHS teachers have new classroom phones.  The ringers will most likely be turned down while teaching but you can call teachers directly and leave messages.  The voicemail will go to the teacher's email as well.  Please feel free to reach out to teachers either by phone or email. If there is an emergency or you need to pick up your son or daughter early please continue to call the RHS Attendance Office at 707-863-7950 or ECHS Secretary, Susan Harris.
