FAFSA


The FASFA application opened October 1st for the 2022–23 school year. If your 12th-grade student will be attending a college in the Fall of 2022, it is highly recommended to complete the FASFA Application as soon as possible. This application will cover financial aid such as Grants, Scholarships offered by the institution, and student loans for dates starting July 1, 2022, through June 30, 2023. Please visit the website to complete it online: https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa




Mrs. Mae and Mrs. Danica visited both CR 12 classes today to review the FAFSA and explain how to get everything started with the students today.

If you have questions regarding the FAFSA, please reach out to our College and Career Tech, Danica Matthews at danicam@fsusd.org.

Short-term Independent Study


If you know you are going to be out of school for 3 or more days there is a short-term independent study option.  We can provide you school work to do while you are out and your absences will be excused.  We just need a 5-day notice so we can get the paperwork prepared and work collected from the teachers.

*Short-term Independent Study is for high school classes.  If you need to miss a college class you need to make arrangements with your college professor.






ECHS Parent Group

 

Our next ECHS Parent Group meeting is on October 19th from 5:30-6:30 pm in the SCC cafeteria.  These meetings are open to all ECHS parents.  Please come to hear about things taking place inside and out of the classrooms at ECHS, hear directly from students, ask Principal Pizzo questions, and provide feedback.  We will be discussing Senior Awards, the dress code, and much more at the next meeting.







Karaoke Night


Students, plan to stay after school for ECHS Karaoke next Friday, October 15th.  We will be in the cafeteria from 3:00-5:00pm.










Student of the Week





Congratulations to Katelyn Sousa, Nathalia Hernandez, Lili Stukas, and the entire RHS Girls Waterpolo team.  They have been having a great season and on Tuesday they brought in the first-ever water polo tournament trophy to the RHS office.

Katelyn, Nathalia, and Lili are also ECHS students of the week!  Not only are they excelling as athletes after school every day, but they are also doing an excellent job with their high school and college classes.  They truly are scholar-athletes!

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
