Early College High School

  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.

Schedule for Tuesday, November 13 With there being no school on Monday for Veteran's Day, we will be on a six period schedule Tuesday.  If this schedule conflicts with a student's college class, they have been asked to attend the college class, but to make sure they have emailed their high school teacher to give them a heads up about their absence. 1st Period 8:00-8:50 3rd Period 9:00-9:50 5th Period 10:00-10:50 2nd Period 11:00-11:50 4th Period 1:00-1:50 6th Period 2:00-2:50 College Field Trip The ECHS 11th grade class will be going on a college field trip on Friday, November 30th.  The students will visit UC Davis first for a presentation on the UC application process and then take an hour walking tour of the campus.  After UC Davis the students will get to take a tour of the Sac State campus. *Permission slips have been distributed to every 11th grade student and are due back next week.   Improv Show

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. I have been without a cell phone for most of this week.  I apologize if you have tired to call me on it.
