Just a reminder, students must be in school READY TO LEARN every day. The state of Indiana requires a 95% attendance rate. Please continue to encourage your student to be on time and put forth his/her best effort every day in every class!
Students must be in uniform at all times. The uniform policy is as follows:
The first marking period ends on October 18, 2019. Progress reports will be distributed on September 13, 2019. Please be sure to monitor your student’s grades online via the Skyward Portal.
On September 23, 2019, East Chicago Central High School will be holding a College GO Week event. On September 27th, all seniors expected to graduate at the end of this academic year will be encouraged to apply for admission to at least one college or university, if they have not already done so. This event is possible due to the collaborative efforts of Communities in Schools; the administration, faculty, and staff at EC Central High School; as well as students, their families, and volunteers across the community.
The purpose of College GO Week is to acquaint students with the college application process and to communicate the importance of going to college.
We have two resources that we encourage all students to use in preparation for the college application event. First, there is a College Research worksheet designed to support students and their families as they narrow down the list of colleges to which each student wants to apply. We encourage students to apply to multiple and varied schools. In addition, there is a College Application worksheet which we encourage students to complete prior to attending the event. Both of these resources can be found here.
We anticipate that students and their families will need to work together in gathering the information listed in the College Application worksheet. Families are welcome to visit EC Central High School on College Application Day from 7:30 am to 2:30 pm to assist their student during the application process.
Additionally, we encourage families to join us in celebrating the college application process on social media. We encourage you to use the hashtag #WhyApply to share with students the importance of applying for college.
If you have any questions, please e-mail your school counselor of the site coordinator with Communities in Schools d.dawkins@cisoflc.org. Thank you in advance for your support of this initiative to encourage all Hoosier students to make college a part of their future

The purpose of the Indiana Statewide Testing for Educational Progress-Plus (ISTEP+) Indiana Statewide Testing for Educational Progress Plus (ISTEP+) program is to measure student achievement in the subject areas of English/Language Arts, Mathematics, Science (Grades 4, 6 and 10), and Social Studies (Grades 5 and 7). In particular, ISTEP+ reports student achievement levels according to the Indiana Academic Standards that were adopted by the Indiana State Board of Education. The assessments are administered in two parts: Part 1 consists of applied skills (open-ended) items, and Part 2 includes multiple-choice and technology-enhanced items. Both Part 1 and Part 2 are required components of the ISTEP+ program and are used to measure student mastery of the Indiana Academic Standards.
