Progress Reports

Friday, September 20th is the last day of our 6 week progress report grading period.  The ECHS teachers will have all their grades submitted by Monday, September 23rd and the grades will post in Aeries the following day.

Monday, October 7th

Monday, October 7th is a non-school day for FSUSD.  We will have no high school classes on campus on this day, but the college is open and students are expected to attend their regularly scheduled college classes.  The following day Tuesday, October 8th we will be on a 6-period day schedule as there are no college classes due to a SCC staff development day.

On Monday, October 7th, we are working with Kaiser Permanente to bring the Stop the Bleed training to ECHS.  Stop the Bleed is a national awareness campaign and call-to-action. Stop the Bleed is intended to cultivate grassroots efforts that encourage bystanders to become trained, equipped, and empowered to help in a bleeding emergency before professional help arrives.

Staff from Kaiser Permanente will be here on campus to train the ECHS staff and we would like to invite students to attend as well.  The training will run from 9:00-11:00am.  If students don't have a college class at this time, we encourage them to come and attend the training.  The training is free, but we are asking students to sign up with Ms. Harris in the office by September 27th if they plan to attend so we can have a head count to provide to the trainers.  Please see Ms. Harris or myself if you have any questions about the Stop the Bleed training.

Homecoming Dance

The Homecoming dance will be on Saturday, October 5th from 7:00-10:00pm at Rodriguez High School.  We are selling tickets to the dance here in the ECHS office.  Tickets are $20 or $10 for students who purchased the ASB card.  Students need a parent permission slip to attend the dance.  Permission slips are available to be picked  up in the office.  This is the highest attended dance of the year and could sellout.  We encourage students to buy their tickets asap!

Student Advisory Council

Students who are looking to get involved and want to work on student district issues, are encouraged to join the FSUSD Student Advisory Council.  The students on the council will be preparing two board presentations this year.  The meetings are the third Wednesday of each month from 3:30-4:30pm.  The first meeting is on September 18th at Fairfield High School.  The second meeting is on October 16th at Rodriguez High School.  If students would like more information about the council, they are encouraged to come and see me or their ECHS 12th grade classmate Eric Cortes.  Eric is the FSUSD Student Board member and chairs the Student Advisory Council.

His older sisters Trinity and Natalie graduated from our program in 2018 and 2019.  Davin is a leader on our Robotics team and also a member of the GSA and Honor Society.  Davin also worked to found the H.O.P.E.
