Donations are plentiful and volunteers always help out.
We just need someone (or two) to head it up.

The Reflections chair assembles a team to promote the Reflections contest,

KOREMATSU MIDDLE SCHOOL SUMMER BAND CAMP
MESSAGE FROM SUPERINTENDENT DUFFY LEADERSHIP CHANGE EL CERRITO HIGH SCHOOL
June 19, 2018
Dear ECHS Community,
I hope you are enjoying your summer break. I am writing to let you know that next year, there will be a new principal at El Cerrito High School. Edith Jordan-McCormick will be working in a different leadership position in the district. We will immediately undertake the process to select a new principal and I look forward to your participation in that process.
Meetings with parents, students and staff are scheduled for Monday, June 25th at ECHS. The staff meeting will take place at 4:30 pm in the library and a wider community meeting at 6 pm in the auditorium. If enough students are present, we will also make special time for them toward the end of the meeting.
These meetings will be specifically tailored around input regarding skills and competencies the community would be looking for in their next leader. The position will be posted on Wednesday and interviews will be planned for July 9 and July 10. The interview process will be community based,meaning that a few teachers, parents and community will be invited to participate in the process via stakeholder groups. Details of that process will be shared during the meetings and by email following the meeting.
Next year, El Cerrito High School will be supervised by two executive directors, Julio Franco and Anne Shin, as part of a shift to a Secondary Schools office to better support middle and high schools. Both of them are experienced principals and leaders in the District. You will have an opportunity to meet them later this summer.
The school is also hiring an additional vice principal. We will be interviewing for that position in the coming weeks.
Thank you for your continued support and patience during these changes. I look forward to the continued success of the students and staff at El Cerrito High School.
In partnership,
Matthew Duffy
Superintendent
MENSAJE DE SUPERINTENDENT DUFFY CAMBIAR DE DIRECTOR DE ESCUELA EL CERRITO HIGH SCHOOL
Estimada Comunidad de ECHS,
Espero que estén disfrutando de sus vacaciones de verano. Les escribo para informarles que el próximo año, habrá un nuevo director(a) en El Cerrito High School. Edith Jordan-McCormick estará trabajando en una posición de liderazgo diferente en el distrito. Inmediatamente comenzaremos el proceso para seleccionar un nuevo director y espero su participación en ese proceso.
Las reuniones con los padres y el personal docente están programadas para el lunes, 25 de junio en ECHS. La reunión del personal docente tendrá lugar a las 4:30 p.m. en la biblioteca y una reunión más amplia de la comunidad a las 6 p.m. en el auditorio. Esta reunión se enfocará específicamente sobre las habilidades y competencias que la comunidad quiere en su próximo líder. El puesto se publicará el miércoles y las entrevistas se planificarán para el 9 de julio y el 10 de julio. El proceso de entrevista será comunitario, lo que significa que algunos maestros, padres y miembros de la comunidad serán invitados a participar en el proceso. Los detalles de ese proceso se compartirán durante las reuniones y por correo electrónico después de la reunión.
El próximo año, la escuela secundaria El Cerrito será supervisada por dos directores ejecutivos, Julio Franco y AnneShin, como parte de un cambio a una oficina central de Escuelas Secundarias para apoyar mejor a las escuelas intermedias y secundarias. Ambos son directores con experiencia y líderes en el Distrito. Tendrán la oportunidad de conocerlos más adelante este verano.
La escuela también está contratando un subdirector adicional. Estaremos entrevistando para ese puesto en las próximas semanas.
Gracias por su continuo apoyo y paciencia durante estos cambios. Espero con interés el éxito continuo de los estudiantes y el personal de El Cerrito High School.
