Celebration of Graduates: New Information - Read ME
Please return your items on-time. Please be aware that all CCSD fines, fees, and unpaid balances must be paid prior to the Celebration of Graduates. Some of you have unpaid balances from middle school - check your PowerSchool accounts. Students with unpaid balances, will not be allowed to participate (which would be the saddest thing ever). If you need financial support, please see Mrs. Denney or another staff member.
Mandatory Practice
All students who plan to participate in the Celebration of Graduates MUST participate in practice. The time of the practice has changed to 12:00-2:00 on Thursday, June 17.
12 Guests Per Graduate
Great news - the number of guests per graduate has increased to 12! All twelve must arrive together and enter the stadium with the graduate. Family groups will be seated in the same "pod" with 6ft spacing between each family group. Masks must be work by all guests while entering exiting and can be removed once guests are seated.
Live Streaming
ECHS will be live streaming our 2021 Graduation Ceremony scheduled for June 18, 2021, at 9:00 AM. A link for the live stream will be posted on our school's website 24 hours before the ceremony is to take place. Ceremonies will be live-streamed through YouTube to accommodate families who may not have access to social media platforms.
Dress Code
Please be sure to read the information about the dress code for the celebration of graduates. Students who are not in the dress code will not be able to participate in the celebration ceremony.
Vaccines for students 12 and up
In partnership with MUSC, students ages 12 and up will be able to get a COVID vaccination through CCSD in regional sites set up in seven schools around the District. The vaccinations will be given after school and will be open for any CCSD employee, parents, and family members. More information is included in the link here.

Attendance Notifications
Each of our calendar days is equivalent to a day on the CCSD calendar. You can find a list of dates 2020-21 on this crosswalk document. For example, our first day of school was August 18, 2020, but the district's first day of school was September 8, 2020, so the attendance that we recorded on August 18 will be reflected in PowerSchool on September 8. Friday, November 13, 2020, is our 59th day of school and will be recorded in PowerSchool as December 4, 2020.
IMPORTANT: eLEARNING DAYS ADDED TO THE CALENDAR
The Board voted to adjust the CCSD calendar to make May 17 e-Learning days at home for all students.
Students will not report to campus on these days. All high school classes will be assigned asynchronous work to document attendance. Students enrolled in TTC classes SHOULD still tune into their TTC classes if the class has a synchronous meeting time on any of those days.
