HIGH SCHOOL NEWS

Senior Trip, Here We Come!
Seniors are in New York this week, enjoying some fun in the mountains….skiing, tubing, snowmobiling and more! Please keep those traveling in your prayers.
ALL seniors are expected to be in school on Friday, January 26th.

Help Please!

Parents, we need your help. All students in grades 6-12 should be dropped off and picked up at our 3rd street entrance. The parking lot nearest the portables and football field is NOT a drop off and pick up area. We have a number of parents using this as a drop off and pick up point, causing congestion for those who are trying to pass through to enter or exit campus as well as for staff members trying to park.

A Message from our College Counselor
We will be conducting a mandatory ASVAB exam for our Junior students during the school day on Tuesday, January 23rd.
The ASVAB (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery) is a test used to measure developed abilities and help predict future academic and occupational success. While the test is known to be used as a Military assessment, ECS has traditionally used the ASVAB to help students determine their interests and giftedness in the career field.
Taking the ASVAB is not optional. Students will need to report to the Fine Arts Theater at 8:05am on Tuesday, January 23rd in order to take the ASVAB. Any students who are not present will obtain an unexcused absence unless otherwise excused.
Thank you for marking your calendars! Please reach out to Mrs. Heredia (sheredia@goecs.org) with any questions.
