At exactly 10:15 a.m., ECESD schools, departments, and offices took part in the Great ShakeOut. The districtwide drill was coordinated to take place simultaneously across ECESD.

We had the opportunity to visit Lincoln School and see the preparation in action. Students and staff did an excellent job following directions and working together throughout the exercise. Director of Safety John Beltran was also present to observe the drill.

A special thank-you to Principal Ms. Perez for her leadership and for welcoming us behind the scenes. We also recognize the Safety Department for coordinating this districtwide effort and helping keep our ECESD Family prepared for emergencies.

📚 Last week’s Professional Development Day brought ECESD staff together for a day of learning, collaboration, and professional growth. Organized by Educational Services, the day provided opportunities for staff to strengthen their skills, share ideas, and explore strategies to support student learning and success across the District.

ECESD is investing in the next generation of school leaders through the Aspiring Certificated Leaders Academy (ACLA).

The academy kicked off with a session led by Superintendent Ruben Castro, launching a professional learning experience designed to help ECESD staff strengthen their leadership skills, expand their knowledge, and prepare for future leadership opportunities within the District.

Throughout the academy, participants will learn from district leaders and explore topics including instructional leadership, school site operations, budgeting, LCAP, SPSA, student discipline, suspension and expulsion processes, human resources, employee evaluations, communication styles, public speaking, school culture, difficult conversations, and much more.

Open exclusively to ECESD staff, ACLA offers an opportunity to learn, grow, and develop the skills needed to lead school communities and make a positive impact on student success.

After a stormy weekend, the sun is shining over El Centro, and our schools and offices are ready for a new week!

A HUGE THANK YOU to our Maintenance, Operations, Transportation and Facilities (MOTF) team, led by Michael Reyla, for working before, during and after the storm to address leaks, replace ceiling tiles, unclog drains, clear parking lots and take care of countless tasks behind the scenes.

We also recognize Deputy Superintendent Kristy Curry and the department directors who stepped in to support these efforts. It was a true team effort to ensure our campuses were ready to welcome students and staff back today. To everyone who went above and beyond this weekend, THANK YOU! Your dedication keeps ECESD moving forward, rain or shine!

⭐️ ECESD Perfect Score Dinner ⭐️
On September 30, we celebrated an outstanding group of students who earned a perfect score in English Language Arts and/or Mathematics on the 2025–2026 California State Assessments.

The evening was all about celebrating their hard work and the people who helped them get there. Board Members, Cabinet, principals, teachers, staff, and families came together to personally congratulate our students and share in their accomplishment.

And what a beautiful evening it was! Every detail was thoughtfully planned to make our students feel truly celebrated, from the elegant setup and menu to a delicious dinner prepared completely from scratch by our Child Nutrition Department, with dessert included, of course!

A perfect score takes dedication, perseverance, and a commitment to excellence. Behind each achievement is a student who worked hard, educators who encouraged them, and families who supported them along the way.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make this evening so special. It was more than a dinner. It was a celebration of our students, their success, and the incredible ECESD family behind them.

Congratulations to all of our Perfect Score students! We are so proud of you!
