Attendance and Work Permits


If students miss a live class session please contact Mrs. Harris as she will document the absence in Aeries.  We also ask that the students follow up with their teachers when they miss class.  Students can still get attendance credit for their high school classes if they complete the asynchronous work and we don't want them to fall behind.  Mrs. Harris also helps with work permits, transcripts, and so much more.

If you are unable to find a seat in a test center near you, please check other dates.

Please know that colleges understand that there are limited opportunities for students to take a college entrance exam due to covid. Most colleges are not requiring a test score for the upcoming admissions cycle. While almost all still accept scores, most are rightfully being flexible for students who submit scores later or who did not have a chance to test more than once. You should check the college’s website for the most updated information on their application requirements.

Eligible students can register with a fee waiver. Please contact your school counselor.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Lunch Hangouts


Our students have been letting us know how much they miss lunch time and even passing periods during distance learning where they were able to just to talk with friends, make new connections, and just hang out with each other.  Our campus monitor, Elvira Preciado (Ms. P), is going to start opening up Google Meets daily during lunch starting Monday.  She sent out an invite to the students earlier today for Monday and is excited about meeting the ECHS students and providing a space for students to get together online.  We are thinking about having a theme each day or breakout rooms where students can talk about movies, music, video games, anime, sports, etc.  We are reaching out to HOPE club and Leadership for more theme ideas and are open if any student wants to suggest an idea.  There is no theme for Monday so students, if you are interested in just jumping in to say hi and hang out click the link from 12:00-12:45 Monday.

 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 ope...

Class of 2019 On Thursday many of the seniors wore shirts from the colleges they will be attending in the fall.  We are so proud of all the seniors for all their hard work in the program! Senior Project Showcase Today was our second annual ECHS Senior Project Showcase.  The seniors worked all year on their projects and today they spent the day sharing what they did with the younger ECHS students, parents, teachers, and community members.  The students did an excellent job presenting their work!  If you weren't able to make it out here is brief summary of each student's project.
