Progress Report Grades

The second progress report grades are out now.  Parents if you need help logging into Aeries or need your password reset, please contact Susan Harris at 707-862-7158 or email her at susanharr@fsusd.org.  We will continue to be reaching out to students who are earning below a C in any class.  There is still time to get those grades up before the semester ends.  We have after school math support every Monday and Thursday from 3:00-4:00, Peer Tutoring on Fridays, and our teachers our meeting with students individually and in small groups to provide support during asynchronous time.  Students, please reach out to your teachers or your counselor, Mrs. Mae maev@fsusd.org if you need help. 



Visit from Good Day Sacramento

On Monday we had a virtual visit from Courtney Dempsey who anchors and reports for Good Day Sacramento on CW 31 Monday- Friday.  Students were able to ask her questions and learn a lot from her experiences.  She took students on a virtual tour of the studio and they also got to meet her technical director and producer.  The event took place during lunch/club time and was sponsored by the ECHS BSU and was open to all students who wanted to participate. Special thanks to Mrs. Nance for setting up this opportunity for our students.









ECHS Parent Group 

On Thursday, November 12th we have our 3rd ECHS Parent Group meeting from 6:00-7:00pm.  These meetings are always open to any ECHS parents who want to attend and hear about things taking place at ECHS, give feedback, and help plan future events.  Here is the link to the Google Meet if you would like to attend:

Interclub Council

On Friday, we held our first ever ECHS Interclub Council meeting.  There were student club officers from Academic Decathlon, Book Club, BSU, GSA, HOPE, Key Club, Leadership, National Honor Society, Robotics/STEM, and the Senior Class Club in attendance.  Each club shared out on things that were taking place and things they are planning for the future.  Our goal is to have the clubs work together and support each others events.  A shared event calendar was created and the student leaders agreed to meet together once a month moving forward.  I am so proud of our students at ECHS, they clearly all want what's best for our school and want to support each other!




New Classrooms

Our two new portable classrooms arrived last week.  We will run our Math and College Readiness classes in them once we are able to resume in-person instruction.  They are both much larger than an average size classroom so we will have plenty of room to get students into groups for collaborative learning.  We are still unsure as to when we will be able to return to campus, but when we are able to return, we will be ready to go.








Check out these new tables on campus for students.  You can sit outside, eat lunch, and plug in a phone or chromebook.  We can't wait to get students back on campus.

 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...

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.
