AVID FAMILY NIGHT
AVID Family Night-
ECHS teachers, students and families joined AVID Family Night to discuss opportunities and experiences provided to all students. Activities included topics such as WICOR strategies, College & Career Readiness, Relational Capacity, and a student/teacher panel! Participants were able to hear about engaging activities from our very own AVID students!
As a gift of appreciation, ECHS students completed a family project that was presented to parents at the end of the night! In the AVID elective class, students used their creativity skills to paint terracotta flower pots. A special seed was planted within their flowers pots as a representation of our growing Owls! Students explained how the soil and water were symbolic of their personal needs from their very own families!
Thank you ECHS Families!

GAMIFYING THE CLASSROOM
Our math teachers, Mr. Spillers and Mr. Lynch have developed a student engagement system where students earn experience points for completing work and "stars" for scoring high marks on assessments. As they earn experience, they level up and if they score three stars on multiple assessments in a row, they will gain an increasing "streak". The data is compiled on a Leader Board where students can compete for top experience, stars, and streaks.
