College Courses
As students complete their college finals, professors will start submitting official college grades. Mr. Pizzo will be requesting official transcripts and will have our registrar update high school transcripts. This process takes a few weeks to complete. If you are interested in seeing your student's official college grades, your student can log into their MySolano account, click the "Student" tab, and then click "Unofficial Transcripts". 

Please note that Solano College courses numbered 1 - 49 will be weighted in your student's high school GPA. For example if your student received a grade "C", it will be weighted as a 3.0 instead of a 2.0. 

Also, Solano College courses numbered 1 - 49 and passed with a "C" grade or higher are transferable to the UCs and CSUs. 


ASVAB Career Exploration Test
The ASVAB test is a Career exploration test available for free to 10th, 11th, and 12th grade High School students. All branches of the Military use the test scores to determine eligibility into their programs. This is a recruitment free event for students. Your student will be excused from high school classes, therefore your student should talk with their teachers about any missing assignments for the day. A list of students will also be provided to the teachers for reference. 

The first ASVAB Career Exploration test will be next semester, Friday, January 11, 2019 at 8am at Solano College Bldg 1600 Room 1645. If your student is interested, they should've gotten an Authorization Form from me when I visited classrooms today. Forms are due to me or Mr. Pizzo by next Wednesday, 12/19/2018.

Please let me know if you have any questions. 

Sincerely,

Mae Valles

11th Grade CR College Board Assignment

Ms. Freitas and Ms. Williamson's 11th grade College Readiness class completed college board research projects.  The students displayed their boards in the 1400 cafeteria building.  ECHS students from other classes got a chance to come by to check out the boards and discuss the projects with each other.  The students really did a great job!







Ringing the Bells 

ECHS will be outside Macy's (upstairs by women's shoes) from 12:00-6:00 tomorrow.  Come by to drop off some cash or change to support the ECHS program and the Salvation Army.  Ms. Turgeon-Staggs, Ms. Williamson, and Ms. Freitas have volunteered their time to be there with the students.  We hope to see you there!



 Toys for Tots

Some toys have started to come in!  We will continue to collect new unwrapped toys through Wednesday next week. All the toys will be collected by Rodriguez High School Resource Officer Holocek.  Please support Officer Holocek in the Toys for Tots drive.

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
