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.<\/span><\/p>\n

A Message from our College Counselor<\/b><\/u><\/div>\n
We will be conducting a mandatory ASVAB exam for our Junior students during the school day on Tuesday, January 23rd.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
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.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
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.<\/em> Any students who are not present will obtain an unexcused absence unless otherwise excused.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Thank you for marking your calendars! Please reach out to Mrs. Heredia (sheredia@goecs.org<\/a>) with any questions.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
