Homecoming
Last Friday night we had a ton of ECHS students attend the RHS football game.  The students had a great time cheering on the football team, watching and participating in the class skits, and supporting our ECHS Homecoming nominees.

We also had 137 ECHS students attend the Homecoming dance.  It was the highest attended dance in the history of Rodriguez High School with just under 1,200 tickets sold.  




Stop the Bleed


Monday we had 39 ECHS students and staff members trained on Stop the Bleed.  We learned how to provide emergency aid if there is ever a situation where someone is in life threatening condition and emergency personnel hasn't arrived yet.  The students and staff learned how to treat wounds and put on tourniquets.  We are grateful for the Kaiser staff that came and provided this training for us.  
ECHS on the RHS campus

Wednesday and Thursday we spent the day at Rodriguez High School.  We took over the library to hold some of our classes and to have a place for student to go on their breaks.  I was so impressed with the students and staff being so flexible, understanding, and making the best of a challenging situation.  

Here are a couple of photos from Wednesday without power.  We were thankful for all the natural light in the library.  









Couple more photos from Thursday.  Still at RHS but with lights on.


Counselor Corner
Don't forget, I will be having my Parent Information Night for my 11th and 12th grade parents on Monday 10/14/2019 at 6:00pm at Solano Community College in the back half of the cafeteria. I will be doing an interactive overview of the UC and CSU application, talking about Financial Aid, scholarship information, and the SCC Spring 2020 registration process. 

For my 9th and 10th grader parents, my Parent Information Night will be on Wednesday, 10/16/2019 at 6:00pm at Solano Community College. I will be going over the high school graduation requirements, 4-year plans, college entrance requirements (A-G requirements), and an explanation of SCC's IGETC and how it is used for high school graduation, A-G requirements, and associate degree and bachelor degree requirements. 

Please let me know if you have any questions. 

Sincerely,

Mae Valles

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
