Charter Notes
Monday thru Wednesday, September 18 to 20, 2006
Week 6
Golf Team:
There will be an informational and organizational meeting of all students
(boys and girls) interested in playing for the ECHS Golf Team on Wednesday,
Sept. 20th at 3:00 in Mr. Johnson's classroom, G104. All
interested students must already know the fundamentals of playing golf
and be able to provide their own equipment. Contact Mr. Johns (ILP) or
Mr. Johnson (TCP) for more information.
ISPE (TCP):
ISPE logs are due. Logs will not be accepted after Wednesday. All ISPE
logs, essays, and contracts should be placed in the basket in the Library!
Fall
Sports and ISPE:
If you are playing a fall sport (football, cross country, or volleyball)
and complete the season, you will earn 5 PE credits for your participation.
As it is difficult to complete the requirements for both a sport and ISPE
at the same time, fall sports participants are advised to drop ISPE. In
order to drop ISPE, a parent must contact Mrs. McCrory via e-mail (kmccrory@echs.org)
or phone (737-3154) to request the drop from ISPE. Students playing a
fall sport will remain enrolled in ISPE until parent notification to drop
the course is received.
Teacher In-Service (TCP):
Wednesday (9/20) is a modified day for TCP teacher professional development
training. Student dismissal will be at 2 p.m.
Note: The modified bell schedule is attached.
Support Our Troops:
For the next six weeks, TCP will be involved in a fundraiser in conjunction
with Blue Star Mothers of America to raise money that will be used by
military personnel serving over seas for postage during the holidays.
The fundraiser begins today, September 11 and will end on Veterans Day.
The fundraiser will take place in the first period classes. The class
that raises the most money will win a pizza party during lunch.
PSAT Exam:
Registration for the PSAT Exam is now open to both juniors and sophomores.
See Mrs. McCrory in the library to register. Payment, $12 cash (exact
change) or check (made payable to ECHS) must be provided at the time of
registration. ILP students can also see Mrs. Endermann in the library
to register. Take advantage of this opportunity to prepare for the SAT
Exam, one of the primary factors used in college admissions decisions.
Spaces will be limited by the end of the week, so sign up today!
Youth and Government:
The YMCA sponsors a Youth and Government program for high school students
interested in politics and government. The organization meets once per
week, promoting an awareness and understanding of the various branches
and positions in state government. Participating students attend a culminating
conference in Sacramento to experience state government first hand. An
informational meeting will be held this Tuesday, September 19 at 6:15
p.m. Interested? Pick up an informational flyer, which includes location
and contact information, in the Library or Main Office.
