Mrs. Frazier's Weekly Wildcat Words

Welcome to the 2024-25 school year! I hope you all have had an amazing summer break. We have been working most of the summer and we are ready for another amazing year for all of scholars here in Wildcat Country!

For those of you who are new to El Camino, we are so excited for you to be joining the Wildcat family! This is a weekly newsletter that I will send to families each Sunday evening during the school year. It will contain important information for upcoming events as well as highlights from some of our students, clubs, sports teams, staff, etc. Please be sure to check out the newsletter each weekend so you stay "in the loop".

As we prepare for registration this week and next week, we want to share information that will ensure you all are fully prepared when you come to register next week. Also, you will find additional information pertinent to the start of the school year.

Registration will start in the F-building. Please park in the lower parking lot and make your way to the F-building. Signs will be out to direct you and students will be there to guide you as well.

All students will take their ID card and Yearbook picture during registration. Please ensure your student is dressed appropriately and knows that this is the picture that will be on their student ID card as well as the 2024-25 yearbook.

The safety of our students is of critical importance to all of us and we want to protect them from injury. Even so, accidents do happen (at school and elsewhere) and required medical care can be expensive. Please know that ECHS does not assume responsibility for such costs but does offer you access to several student accident insurance plans for voluntary purchase. Details can be found in this linked brochure/enrollment form - English (SPANISH brochure/enrollment form).

For more detailed information, please see this letter - ENGLISH (Parent Letter - SPANISH).

• Tardy Policy: As a Responsible student, being on time to each class allows time to organize materials to focus on the lesson and/or activities for that class. Alternatively, students who are late to class, disrupt instruction, distract their classmates and may have a lower grade point average (GPA) due to missed instruction. Link to ECHS Tardy Policy
