 Back to School Night Last night was Back to School Night for ECHS.  It was not our normal Back to School Night and we definitely missed seeing everyone in person.  Parents, if you missed it, everything was prerecorded and can be viewed at any time.  Please click the link to see the slideshow where all the video links are for each teacher.  After watching the videos, if you have any questions please email us.  We all have time dedicated for office hours each day and we are happy to set up phone or Google Meet appointments.   https://docs.google.com/ presentation/d/1TSIMNfZ2NmT2- AuhoAsQLAKURusnFZoorTAkqf1sVjM /edit?usp=sharing Susan Harris  susanharr@fsusd.org Mae Valles  maev@fsusd.org Shannon Freitas  shannonf@fsusd.org Stephanie Krutz  stephaniek@fsusd.org Melissa Nance  melissan@fsusd.org Shelly Pratt  shellyp@fsusd.org Karen Smith  kareng@fsusd.org Mark Spinelli  marksp@fsusd.org Lisa Turgeon-Staggs...
