 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.

ECHS Parent Group

I run an ECHS Parent Group that meets once a month. It is open to all ECHS parents to hear about things going on, help plan events, and give feedback.  We are going to be meeting virtually for at least the first semester this year.  The meeting will take place in a Google Meet on Thursday, September 10th at 6:00pm.  Here is the link to the Google Meet:

Counselor Corner

For my 9th & 10th grade parent information night on 9/17, I will provide a detailed review of meeting FSUSD high school graduation requirements and meeting college entrance requirements. I will also go into detail about how college courses meet these requirements as well as how students select those college courses.

For my 11th and 12th grade parent information night on 9/23, I will be completing an interactive UC and CSU college application demonstration, discuss FAFSA application deadlines, provide some scholarship information and discuss how to effectively transition from ECHS to 4-year universities in terms of matriculation of units completed at SCC.

Special Schedule on 9/8

With Labor Day on Monday we will have a special schedule on Tuesday, 9/8.  We will use the same schedule we did on the first three days of school.  Some students may have a time conflict due to a required college class meeting.  If this is the case, we have asked the students to let their high school teacher know they have to miss class due to the time conflict.  They will be excused from their high school class for the day.  We will resume our regular distance learning block schedule on Wednesday, 9/9.

Here is the schedule for 9/8:

0 Period 7:00-7:50 
1st Period 8:00-8:50
3rd Period 9:00-9:50 
5th Period 10:00-10:50

Lunch 12:00-12:50 
4th Period 1:00-1:50 
6th Period 2:00-2:50




School Lunch


Even with Distance Learning school lunches are available.  Here is the link for more information in both English and Spanish.  Parents can pickup five days worth of meals (lunch and breakfast) per student.  The students don't have to be present, but the parents have to provide the student's name and ID#.

 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.
