Spring Semester
The ECHS students have finished their third week of high school classes and second week of college classes.  We have had a great start to the spring semester!  Students should have all their college textbooks or have ordered them with me.  If there are any students that still need textbooks please come and see me asap.

 I have mentioned this in the blog multiple times before, but we continue to underutilized the tutoring center on campus.  The tutoring is free and all they have to do to attend is to submit a special admissions form.  As of today, less than 20 students have signed up.  This is such a great resource for help with college classes!

 Students who need help with their high school classes will continue to be supported in our after school SAS tutoring every Monday and Thursday from 3:00-4:00 with the ECHS teachers.  We are also continuing our Peer Tutoring during the school day Monday and Wednesdays from 1:00-3:00 and Fridays from 10:00-12:00.  

 Our goal is to support every student to meet A-G standards and become, "University Ready!"











Counselor Corner

Please be sure that you are registered for at least one college class. If you are having any issues with college classes, please see me next week as the last day to drop without a "W" and the last day to add a class is February 2, 2019. 
Please let me know if you have any questions. 

Sincerely,

Student of the Week




11th grader, Talyssa Tucker is the ECHS student of the week.  Talyssa is a star midfielder on the RHS Girls Soccer team.  In addition to playing soccer, Talyssa excels in high school and college classes.  Last semester Talyssa took on 11 college units with Chem 001, Math 002, and Spanish 33.  Talyssa has earned an A or B in every high school and college class that she has ever taken.  Great job Talyssa!

Community Service

ECHS brought in 680 pounds of food to the Contra Costa and Solano Food Bank during the 2018 Holiday Drive.

We also collected $552.54 to support the Salvation Army with the Ringing the Bells event.  Major Randy Hart will be coming out to ECHS on Feb. 1 to honor the students and teachers that participated.  He is bringing the trophy back out  that we have won for raising the most money in the school district for the third consecutive year!



(Here is an old picture from the first year of the competition.  I will add a picture next week when the trophy returns to ECHS).  





Panoramic Picture

Wednesday, Jan. 30th is the last chance to buy the panoramic picture.  I have order form envelops in my office still if anybody needs one.

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
