New Semester

The Spring 2020 semester started Monday and the students returned back after their 3 week winter break.  We welcomed three new students to ECHS and got off to a great start!  The majority of students have already received their college textbooks and many of the books that were ordered will be in Tuesday or Wednesday.  If students have not come by the office to request their college books, they need to come by during a break, second half of lunch, or after school so we can get them ordered asap.

 There is no school Monday in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

 Tuesday we return on a 1,3,5,2,4,6 Friday schedule for high school classes.  *Students with college classes that conflict with a high school class on Tuesday just need to notify their high school teacher and then attend their college class.
Open House

Tuesday we held our Open House event after school.  8th grade students and families came for a tour of the campus and to get some final information about the ECHS program before deciding whether to apply for fall enrollment.  We will be accepting applications for next school year from Jan. 21- Feb. 5.  I want to thank the student tour guides, ECHS staff, ECHS parent group members, and even the alumni students that came back to help with this event, your support of our program is truly appreciated.

Leadership Mixer

On Thursday we held our first ever Leadership mixer.  Leadership students from RHS joined our ECHS Leadership students here on campus for the after school event.  Students from both campuses had a great time connecting with each other and planning future events for all students to enjoy.






Salvation Army

On Friday, Major Randy Hartt from the Salvation Army came to campus to bring lunch as a thank you to the students and staff that participated in the Ringing the Bells event.  ECHS has won the bell ringing competition now for 4 years in a row!  Major Randy Hartt talked to the students about how the money raised will be used to support those in need in our community.

Student of the Week

10th grader Brooklyn Giles is the ECHS student of the week.  She is on the RHS Varsity Girls Basketball team and has scored 19 points in last two games.  The team is 2-0 in MEL competition with wins over Wood on Wednesday and Fairfield High on Friday.  She was the Max Preps player of the game on Wednesday!  Brooklyn is truly excelling on the court and in the classroom.  Keep up great work Brooklyn!

 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

 Back to School Night Last night was Back to School Night for ECHS.  It was not our normal Back to School Night and we definitely missed seeing everyone in person.  Parents, if you missed it, everything was prerecorded and can be viewed at any time.  Please click the link to see the slideshow where all the video links are for each teacher.  After watching the videos, if you have any questions please email us.  We all have time dedicated for office hours each day and we are happy to set up phone or Google Meet appointments.   https://docs.google.com/ presentation/d/1TSIMNfZ2NmT2- AuhoAsQLAKURusnFZoorTAkqf1sVjM /edit?usp=sharing Susan Harris  susanharr@fsusd.org Mae Valles  maev@fsusd.org Shannon Freitas  shannonf@fsusd.org Stephanie Krutz  stephaniek@fsusd.org Melissa Nance  melissan@fsusd.org Shelly Pratt  shellyp@fsusd.org Karen Smith  kareng@fsusd.org Mark Spinelli  marksp@fsusd.org Lisa Turgeon-Staggs  lisat@fsusd.org Quinten Voyce  quintenv@fsusd.org Pam Williamson  pamwi@fsusd.org
