School and buses will be two hours late today Monday March 15, 2021, due to weather.
Echo Charter School Board Meeting has been changed from Thursday March 11, 2021 to Thursday March 18, 2021.
Over the next couple months Echo Charter School will be posting excerpts from each of the teachers. We will be starting with the Math Department. Here is what our Math teacher, John Cole says:
Echo Math is excited to be back in school face-to-face. Mr. Cole and Mr. Schuler have teamed up to lead Echo students in their math learning. Due to distance learning, there are many new students that we have only seen their math work and have not gotten to know as we had not met them personally until now. We are studying hard for the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments (MCA) mathematics testing this spring. These tests are used to meet federal and state legislative requirements, determine funding and potentially the future of our school. All students and parents are encouraged to contact us by email, texting or phone. Remember, we at Echo math are "figuring" to have a fantastic rest of the year!
Students in Distance Learning mode will continue to receive work/lunch deliveries (Mondays, not Tuesdays) or by email, when requested.
All grades begin in person school starting Monday March 1st. For bus/van riders, refer to bus schedule sent out via Remind for your student's pickup schedule.
Students should bring tech, all past-due homework, and water bottles.
Students go to classrooms at 7:45 a.m. and breakfast is brought there.
