Progress Report Grade


We are off to a great start at ECHS!  We have 348 total ECHS students taking 4-5 high school classes.  Here is the grade data from our first high school progress report of the year:


1,155 A Grades (69.3%)

326 B Grades (19.6%)

102 C Grades (6.1%)

1 D Grade (.1%)

83 F Grades (5%)


We are happy that so many of our students are doing well so far but we do have 84 grades below a C-.  Our main focus at ECHS is to prepare our students for college and beyond.  Meeting the A-G college entrance requirement means earning a C- or better in all required courses.  We are reaching out to students that aren't passing and offering support.  At ECHS students can receive peer tutoring, attend School After School (SAS) for Math help, and have opportunities to do test and quiz retakes at times.  We also encourage students to see their counselor for help.  We are here to help and want everyone to be successful!

There are no progress reports for college classes.  We are continuing to check in with students during College Readiness classes.  If students are struggling with college classes there are supports available here on campus.  Students, please come check in with your counselor Mrs. Mae, or myself if you are struggling with your college classes.

PSAT


The PSAT will happen on October 16, 2021, at Rodriguez High School. To register for the PSAT, please go to our student store at the RHS student store and pay for it there.  Testing will begin at 8am and students should enter from the front of the school to be directed to their testing location. Due to space capacity and COVID protocols, we will cap the number of students able to take the test to 150 students. Given the limited availability, it will be first come first serve until all sign up until all spaces have been filled. The deadline to register for testing is October 8, 2021.

*We recommend the PSAT for 10th and 11th-grade students.  It is a good way to practice for the SATs and 11th graders may be eligible for National Merit Scholarships based on their scores.

 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.
