Weekly Newsletter
This week, I'd like to highlight another new member of our ECHS Administration Team - Ms. Kalina Shatto. Our administration team has had quite a bit of change this school year and we are happy to report that the changes are finally done! Ms. Shatto rounds out the final addition to our admin team.
When asked to share a little bit about herself, here is what Ms. Shatto had to say:
I am honored to be working with you as an Assistant Principal and I look forward to getting to know you all! I’ve been in education for the past 13 years, with the last 7 years spent at Rancho Buena Vista High School, where I taught forensic biology, AVID, and coached girls tennis. For the past four years I’ve been taking on more roles and extra duties to prepare myself for this position and I will continue to learn and grow alongside all of you.
On a personal note, I live in Oceanside a few miles from here and I am mother to one great daughter, who is a sophomore at Cal Poly SLO and studying to be an engineer.
We welcome Ms. Shatto to the Wildcat family!!

It's Cold & Flu Season!
Cold and flu season is upon us. Health officials are warning there may be high levels of influenza compared to the past two years, when COVID-19 precautions helped keep flu infections low. As a reminder, please do not send your child to school if they are feeling sick or experiencing symptoms of a virus. Keeping your sick child home will be a great benefit for the health and wellness of our students and staff.
The flu is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses. It can cause mild to severe illness. Some people, such as older people, young children, and people with certain health conditions, are at high risk of serious flu complications. Symptoms of influenza can vary, but generally include a high fever, headache, chills, body aches, sore throat, and cough.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) offers these tips to prevent influenza:
Get vaccinated every year
Avoid close contact with sick people
Frequently wash hands with soap
Stay at home if you are experiencing flu-like symptoms
Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth
Individuals with chronic health issues and/or individuals experiencing severe symptoms should be evaluated by a medical professional.
The influenza vaccine is available at doctors’ offices and retail pharmacies and is covered by medical insurance. People with no health care coverage can get vaccinated at one of the County’s six public health centers or a local community clinic. To find the nearest location, visit the County’s Flu Vaccine Locations page or call 2-1-1 San Diego. The CDC recommends that everyone 6 months and older get vaccinated every year.
