Parenting an Early College Student

Starting college is an exciting moment for students and their families. Starting college early can be a daunting and confusing transition for both students and their parents/guardians. Below you’ll find some words of wisdom from the Early College staff for new ECHS families.

Access to Information

Perhaps the greatest difference between parenting a student in the traditional high school setting versus the Early College environment is access to information. FEPRA laws protect student information. Early College students are considered full PCC students with all the rights and responsibilities therein. PCC instructors are not able to share details of a student’s progress, nor meet with families if there is a concern. However, this does not mean that parents do not have a role in an ECHS student’s life.  In fact while different, your role may be more important than ever.

PCC Consent to Release Confidential Information

Words of Wisdom

• Discuss the importance of transparency and trust with your student. Ultimately they are the best source of information regarding their progress.
• Arrange consent to access your student’s records. (See handout.) This will give you access to schedules and grades.
• Know how to contact your student’s ECHS counselor. The ECHS counselor is your student’s greatest ally at PCC.
• Know your student’s schedule. If you notice that they are not attending classes, speak with them and contact their ECHS counselor. Also, know the ECHS calendar.
• Ask to see a copy of their Mid Term Progress Report during their first term or any term on Academic Probation.
• Review your student’s syllabi. Know when they have major deadlines, papers, and tests. A little extra encourage during these periods goes a long way.
• Allow your student to self-advocate to the greatest degree possible. The student will need to become comfortable communicating with adults about their needs.
• Carefully read all communications from ECHS. This includes our quarterly newsletter and emails. Virtually all ECHS communications are electronic, so it is important to keep an accurate email address on file with our office.
• Encourage your student to get connected with clubs and activities at PCC.
• Know the resources that are available to support your student at PCC and encourage your student to use them.
• Encourage your student to actively recruit allies in every class in the form of study groups and reliable partners.
• Work with your student to create their schedule. ECHS strongly recommends that students spread their classes out Monday – Thursday rather than giving into the temptation to consolidate all classes into two days.

It takes a village…at ECHS it takes a team. As parents you are part of that team!

BSD School Registrars: 

As part of participation in Early College High School, all students must:

• Reside in the Beaverton School District or partner districts.
• If you have not already, enroll at their neighborhoodhigh school after you have completed your final term and received grades at your current school

Below is the contact information for the BSD Neighborhood High School.

OFFICIALLY WITHDRAW FROM HIGH SCHOOL CLASSES

If you are NOT currently enrolled in your neighborhood high school, be prepared to provide the following documentation:

1. Proof of Student's Legal Name and Birthdate:  Passport, driver's license, hospital certificate, birth certificate.
2. Proof of Address:  Utility bill, rental agreement/mortgage statement, bank statement, etc.
3. Immunization Records:  Information on the exemption option is available from the high school counseling secretary.
4. Power of Attorney:  If student lives with someone other than their legal parents).

Enrollment in one of our comprehensive high schools entitles students to participate in co-curricular and after school activities and athletics. As a student at Early College High School (ECHS), you are precluded from taking classes at your neighborhood high school or being on the high school campus during class times.  However, upon completion of the Beaverton School District's high school graduation requirements, ECHS students are eligible to participate in the high school graduation ceremonies, if they have the required credits by the end Winter Term.
