Inspire Dreams Move Forward

 Today we had 43 ECHS 10th grade students participate in the Inspire Dreams Move Forward event.  Students got out into the community and visited local businesses for tours and a job shadow experience. 

 The ECHS students visited:
Alstom Transportation
City of Vacaville Utilities Department
Embry Riddle
Fairfield Suisun Sewer District
Mare Island Dry Dock
Meyer Corporation
MuriGenics
Northbay Regional Water
Paradise Valley Estates and Partnership Healthcare

There are a lot of pictures of the students at the different locations on Twitter at the hashtag #InspireDMF18

Upon returning to Rodriguez High School the students worked in groups and completed a reflective journal activity.  The students then got to speak to community leaders and ask them questions in their small groups.  The event closed with the students getting to hear from guest speaker Willam Wesley from Full Life Balance as well as Fairfield Mayor Harry Price, and FSUSD Superintendent Kris Corey.  

This was the first year of this event and we are excited for our 9th graders to get a chance to participate next year.

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
