World's Finest Chocolate sales start today! We are asking that every student sell 2 boxes in order to bulk up our staff and student activity funds. Sales will continue until Oct. 1, when all money is due. Mr. Borel will be taking money on Tues. and Wed. during advisory.
Students and parents, a couple of reminders for the first week back:
1. Start time is 8:05 AM and students should be in their seats ready to go by that time.
2. Student pick up is at 3:45 PM. Please refrain from picking your child up between 3:00 PM and 3:45 PM as this causes congestion in the office area. Teachers are teaching from bell-to-bell, and we don't want students to miss any instruction.
3. Breakfast and lunch will both be offered free of charge to every student.
4. Juniors and Seniors are expected to be on the ECHS campus during the first week back. If not in class, Juniors will be housed in the Cafe and Seniors in the Library.
5. Students are allowed to order food in as long as it is ordered at least 45 minutes prior to one's lunch time. Food will be in the front office for student pick up.
6. Bus Routes will be sent out shortly; however, we would ask that, if possible, parents consider dropping students off on the first day so we can explain the process to students thoroughly. They can easily return home via bus on day 1.
7. Breakfast for everyone will be in the Cafe.
8. Morning holding areas:
-9th and 10th - Gym
-11th - Cafe
-12th - Library
Save the date! ECHS Open House is September 27 from 5 PM - 7 PM! Mark your calendar to come and meet your student's teachers and administrators!
Tyler ISD Early College High School "Parent Symposium" will be held from 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM on Friday, August 20 and Friday, August 27 in the ECHS Library/Student Union! Come to one of the two days to meet the new administrative team and get any questions answered that you may have. We look forward to meeting with you!
Incoming students and parents who were NOT able to attend Parent University July 24, please stop by ECHS next Monday August 9, Tuesday, August 10 or Wednesday, August 11 to read through a summary of what was covered and sign for your student's laptop. Upon arrival, see Ms. Williams, the Secretary, to receive the required documents and sign. Upon completion, laptops will be distributed to your students. Much thanks for your help in this matter and see you soon!
