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
We had a super funny Improv Fundraiser Show on Thursday.  Here are some of the photos from the show.  We sure have some talented students here at ECHS!











ECHS Drama Club


The ECHS Drama Club went to the SCC production of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.  We really appreciate the Fairfield-Suisun and Cordelia Rotary Clubs for providing the tickets.  Mr. Voyce and the students reported that they really enjoyed the show and thought the acting was amazing!










Special Admissions Form

The SCC Spring Schedule is out and the students have been planning their college course requests.

 The special admission forms are due Thursday next week to CR teachers.  Parents if you signed the form before the classes were added we are sending it back for new initials.  We want to make sure you are approving each of the course requests.  Ms. Mae and I will be going over the forms, signing them, and submitting the forms once they are completely filled out.  



8th grade Information Nights


We are already recruiting next year's 9th grade class.  If you know anyone who has an 8th grade son or daughter who may be interested in ECHS, please share with them our information night dates.  Both sessions will feature the same presentation so people can choose the night that fits their schedule.  




Art Show/Friendsgiving

The students organized a Friendsgiving event after school today.  The students brought in canned food to donate to the Contra Costa Food Bank and enjoyed a meal together in the cafeteria.  The Art Club also displayed their work for everyone to enjoy.  Here is some of the artwork that was displayed.

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
