It is the goal of this school and the state of Texas to keep students healthy and in school. In order to prevent the spread of infectious diseases, it is vital that all students are fully immunized before entering school.
Immunizations are the best defense against some of the most common and sometimes deadly infectious diseases. Please immediately contact your primary health provider to make an appointment for your child to receive the required immunization(s) or please provide the school with the most recent documentation of the above immunization(s) as soon as possible.
For a list of vaccine requirements for K-12, Pre-K, and child care facilities visit:
https://dshs.texas.gov/immunize/school/default.shtm and click on "2021-2022 k-12 requirements"
For Affidavits/Exempt form: Please submit the original copy to front office/Health Office
All immunizations should be completed by the first day of school. However, you will have 30 calendar days from the first day of school to provide the required up-to-date immunization record for your child. If at the end of the 30-day period, a student has not received a subsequent dose of vaccine, the student is not in compliance and the school shall exclude the student from school attendance until the required dose is administered.
If you have other questions or would like more information regarding immunization please contact:
Parents of ECHS students
We know that we needed more and we have ordered them. Please know that once we receive the shipment we will hand them out to students.
Information about the option to retain your student
Dear Parents and Guardians:
Today, we would like to inform you of important education option for your family if you believe your student may have experienced significant academic losses during the 2020-2021 school year.
This summer, the 87th Texas Legislature passed Senate Bill (SB) 1697, which allows parents and guardians to elect for a student to repeat a grade or retake a high school course.
This gives parents or guardians the right to opt for their child to:
· repeat pre-kindergarten or enroll in pre-kindergarten if the child was eligible to enroll in pre-kindergarten in the previous school year and has not yet enrolled in kindergarten;
· repeat kindergarten; or enroll in kindergarten if the child would have enrolled in kindergarten in the previous school year and has not yet enrolled in first grade; and
· for grades one through three, repeat the grade the student was enrolled in during the previous school year.
For the 2021-2022 school year only, parents or guardians have the right to opt for their child:
· for grades four through eight, repeat the grade the student was enrolled in during the 2020-2021 school year; and
· for courses taken for high school credit, repeat any course in which the student was enrolled during the 2020-2021 school year.
When determining whether these options may be right for your student, here are some things which may be helpful to consider:
· For children in grades 1-8, repeating may be right for your child if he/she struggled learning while remaining virtual most of the year.
· For students who took high school courses, repeating one or more courses may be right for your child if he/she struggled in a foundational course (e.g. Algebra I or computer science) and is worried about being successful in higher-level courses.
· If a high school student received a passing grade for the course they are requesting to repeat, they will keep their original grade on their transcript.
· For children interested in high school interscholastic competition, parents and guardians should review eligibility rules based on student age.
According to the new law, parents or guardians are required to notify the district in writing (letter or email to school principal) if they elect for their child to retake a grade level or course.
By law, if a district disagrees, the district must convene a retention committee and meet with the parent or guardian to discuss the proposed retention.
After the parent/ guardian has participated in the retention committee meeting, the parent or guardian will decide if the student will be retained.
Thank you.
