 Thanksgiving Break


FSUSD is off for the week so there will be no high school classes, however college is still in session and has classes on Monday and Tuesday.  If you have live class sessions, please make sure to attend and make sure you are completing any work that is due next week.  This has been an extra challenging year, please make sure to take some time next week to relax, take care of yourself, and stay safe.  




ECHS Office is Closed for the Semester


We had to close our Early College office at Solano College in Building 300.  Susan Harris, Elvira Preciado, and I will be working at Rodriguez High School for the remainder of the semester.  We will be back on the Solano campus on 1/4 or 1/11 and will let you know when we have our official return date.  You can still reach Mrs. Harris at 707-862-7158.  If you need to get in touch with me, please call my work cell phone at 707-410-0267 and of course you can continue to email us if you need anything.  We have the T-shirt orders and they can now be picked up at the RHS office after break.



Senior Projects


The ECHS seniors did an amazing job presenting their plans and ideas for their projects over the last two weeks.  I had the pleasure of joining in on almost all of the pitch panel sessions along with Mr. Voyce.  Thank you to parents Cindy deRosier, Lindsey Paoli, and Sarah Low Daly for joining the panels and providing great feedback to the students.  We are all so impressed with how the students have been able to adapt their Creative Art, Community Service, and Career Exploration projects in this time with COVID restrictions.  We can't wait to see the final projects at the end of the year showcase event!

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
