Rally/Academic Awards


 We had our first ever student rally today!  The whole school attended in the gym.  The Leadership students did an amazing job planning fun games and getting some friendly class competitions started!  Many students are already asking when our next rally is going to be.  

 Just for attending the rally, the students got an Early College High School pen and a frozen yogurt treat.  I also visited classes before and after the rally to give out academic awards to the students who made the honor roll. With GPA's 3.5 or above, these students received their Academic Excellence pins, Academic Letters, Lantern Patches, and 4.0 Golden Mustang pins. Congratulations to the honor roll students on all of their hard work. 

 During the Rally we raffled off 9 gifts cards to students on the honor roll.  I want to thank the RHS/ECHS PTSO, Ms. Ahad, and Ms. Thompson for donating the gift cards for the students.  


















Registration

The students have all now received their fall high school class schedule.  We are asking that they plan their college class requests next week and have the Special Admit forms turned in Thursday, April 11th.  This will give SCC plenty of time to clear all the students before our May 6th registration date.  Students who are unsure what classes to take in the fall are encouraged to see Ms. Mae or I next week for guidance.



10th Grade PE

Next year we are bringing on a full-time high school PE teacher to ECHS.  10th grade students have the option to take PE during the 3rd period block or during 0 period (7:00-7:50am Monday-Friday).  There is also the option to take Independent Study PE which meets only on Fridays from 7:00-7:50am but includes 4 hours of work outside the class per week. 

12th grade students have the option to take PE 1st period, 3rd period, or 0 period as class size permits.

*If you have questions about PE next school year, please feel free to give me an email or call.  I also plan to discuss this at the Parent Group meeting on Monday, April 8th from 6:00-7:00 in classroom 1104, all parents are welcome to attend.



9th grade Biology

In accordance to CA law, Mr. Voyce will begin HIV/AIDS prevention education on May 10th using the Positive Prevention PLUS curriculum in the 9th grade classes.  Mr. Voyce is coming to the Parent Group meeting on Monday to answer any questions.  He is also hosting a session for parents to review the curriculum on April 25 from 4:30-5:30pm in his classroom 1642.  Mr Voyce can be reached at QuintenV@fsusd.org if you have questions.

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
