Happy Holidays! The first official day of Winter Break is December 21st. Enjoy your time off. School will resume on January 4th!
Update on Athletics:
OSAA in collaboration with OHA and the governor's office has decided to push back the start date of high school athletics until February. There is also a shift of seasons, moving the typical winter sports season back to late spring/summer. Echo will continue to do whatever we can to keep students active, following the guidelines set by OHA and the governor's office. Here is a link to the release: https://www.osaa.org/docs/osaainfo/December7Release.pdf .
