Parent Information Nights
Monday, September 9th at 6:00pm here on campus in the 1400 cafeteria building is our 9th-10th grade Parent Information Night. Each teacher will give a short presentation followed by a chance for parents to ask individual questions.  We look forward to seeing everyone from 6:00-7:30pm Monday night! 

 *11th-12th grade Parent Information Night is on Monday, September 16th at 6:00pm.

Student Social

Today we held an after school social and had an amazing turnout!  The students enjoyed playing games, listening to music, and just hanging out with each other.  We want to thank the Leadership students for planning such a fun event!




HBCU College Fair
This Sunday there is a HBCU College Fair from 4:00-7:00pm at Mount Calvary Baptist Church.  This event is open to all students and we have had multiple ECHS students attend this fair in the past and get admitted into multiple colleges on the spot! 






FSUSD Governing Board

On Thursday, September 5th The FSUSD Governing Board honored Dr. Celia Esposito-Noy, Superintendent/President of Solano Community College and Dr. David Williams, Vice President of Academic Affairs at SCC. We are so grateful for their support to the ECHS program!











PSAT


Below is a message from our Career and College Tech, Mrs. Vallejo.  Mrs. Vallejo visited the 11th and 12th grade College Readiness classes on Friday afternoon.  She will also be on campus at ECHS every Friday from 12:00-3:00 to support our students.  


 10th and 11th grade students are now able to sign up for the PSAT which will be held at Rodriguez High School on Saturday, October 19th from 8:00am-12:30pm. 
(Students should arrive at 7:45am to be sure they are in the testing center on time.)

The cost is $25.00 and will be available for purchase beginning Monday, September 9th in the ECHS office.

4 Reasons to Take the PSAT
  • Take the PSAT for Practice. “Practice makes perfect.” ...
  • Strategy. The strategies surrounding test taking are an academic discipline on their own. ...
  • Awards. One of the most important outcomes from taking the PSAT is qualifying for the National Merit Scholarship Program. ...11th grade students are the only class that will be eligible for this award.
  • Training.

All my best,
Mrs. Vallejo







 Student of the Week

Xavier Ramirez is one of our Student's of the Week.  Xavier can be described as a friend to all at ECHS.  He really cares about his fellow classmates and is helping make ECHS a truly special place.  Xavier worked with his classmates to bring on the GSA club at ECHS and this week he was elected president to the new club.  Xavier earned excellent grades during his freshman year and I am certain he will continue down his path to success.  Xavier is a true leader in our program!
Nayfa Isbeih is our other Student of the Week.  Nayfa is also a founder of a new club on campus.  Nayfa, along with some of her peers, started the Key Club at ECHS.  This week she was elected president of the club which has 72 members.  Nayfa is a hard working student and has already achieved so much in her first two years at ECHS.  Along with running the Key Club, Nayfa is taking three college classes, participating in academic decathlon and honor society, and volunteering in the community.  Nayfa's hard work and determination is truly inspirational!

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
