Cocoa and Cram


On Monday, Dec. 13th and Tuesday, Dec. 14th we are having our Cocoa and Cram event from 3:00-4:30pm in the Cafeteria.  We are encouraging students to stay after school each day to study together, get help from their high school teachers and student tutors, and enjoy some hot cocoa.

*We are looking for prepacked snack donations to put out for the students to enjoy with their hot cocoa.  If you can help out, please drop snacks by the office the morning of the event.








Winter Break


There is no school for students on Friday, December 17th.  Students have no classes Dec. 17th- Jan. 9th for Winter Break.

*We started 5 days earlier than the rest of the school district in the summer.  The students and staff get those 5 days back on (Jan. 4, Jan. 5, Jan. 6, Jan. 7, and May 27).

High School classes resume on Monday, Jan. 10th.

We are off on Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Monday, Jan. 17th

College Classes resume on Tuesday, Jan. 18th






RHS Library


Students are often so busy with high school and college classes that they don't have time to just read for pleasure.  With 3 weeks off, winter break is a great time to read a book for fun.  RHS Librarian, Traci Pratt has sent us some recommendations.  Students can email her and check a book out for the break.

ECHS Students have two options to get books via the library:

1) They can download SORA from their app store on their phone or tablet

Canned Food and Toy Drive


We want to thank all the students and families that donated to our Canned Food and Toy Drive!  I don't have a final count yet but there were definitely a few thousand cans and toys.  ECHS really supports the community!















ECHS Wellness Week


Wellness Week was a hit! Each day we had a different lunch event put on by the following groups. Monday- BSU, Tuesday- Academic Decathlon, Wednesday- GSA, and Thursday- Key Club and Honor Society. Today we concluded the week with an after-school winter event put on by Leadership. Approximately 150 students stayed after school to hang out with each other, listen to music, and build gingerbread houses.

5) Solano College offers Wellness Counseling: http://www.solano.edu/counseling/c_services.php#services

Wellness Counseling

What is it?
In partnership with JFK University, PsyD or MFT (Marriage and Family Therapy) recent graduates or current students of JFK University provide brief (6-8 sessions) mental health therapy. The therapists will be supervised by JFK faculty as they accrue hours toward licensure. These services are FREE and first-come, first-served based on availability and appropriateness of the issues to the type of services provided.  Services are available when classes are in-session.

How can Wellness Counselors help?
Wellness counselors provide brief (6-8 sessions) mental health therapy.  These are some of the topics they can help with: test anxiety, relationship issues, life transitions, abuse, anxiety, depression, conflict/exploration of identity, substance use, grief/loss, and more.

Wellness Therapy Request Process

  • Due to the COVID 19 physical distancing protocols, Wellness Counselors are unavailable to see students in-person at this time. They will continue to see existing and new clients through online video sessions.
  • Requests for therapy are submitted online through a secure portal.
  • After submitting the request form, it will be reviewed by JFK Wellness Counselors who will contact the student directly to assess needed services and set up appointments (due to the nature of brief therapy, there may be a wait time, which the therapist will discuss with any potential client).

**Please note, wellness counseling is NOT for immediate crisis situations.  If you feel you are in immediate crisis, please call police services or the resources below**

CALSCHLS


If you are a 9th or 11th-grade student, parent, or staff member and you haven't done so already please take a few minutes to complete the California School Climate, Health & Learning Surveys (CALSCHLS).


9th and 11th Grade Students 

ECHS Parents (All Grades) 
 https://wested.ugam-apps.com/wed/ts/sJth 


  • The California Department of Education created a system of surveys to measure school climate, health, and learning.  This system of surveys is referred to as CalSCHLS and it provides school districts and communities with quality local data to improve student academic performance and social-emotional, behavioral, and physical health of all youth. This system of surveys assesses key indicators linked to success in school, career, and life. As with the majority of districts in California, Fairfield-Suisun Unified School District (FSUSD) uses CalSCHLS data as a LCAP indicator.

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
