East Columbus Jr-Sr (7-12)
Sept 7-11th in the Swamp
🐊💚🧡 **A HUGE GATOR THANK YOU TO East Columbus Education Foundation 🧡💚🐊
We are incredibly grateful to our Swamp Keepers for their generous support of East Columbus Jr./Sr. High School! They have provided brand-new light pole banners for our parking lot, adding even more Gator pride and school spirit to our campus! 🐊🏫
These beautiful banners are a wonderful way to showcase our school and remind everyone who enters our campus that Gator Pride runs deep! 💚🧡
Thank you, Swamp Keepers, for continuing to invest in our students, our school, and our community. We appreciate everything you do to make ECJSHS a special place to be!
Once a Gator, Always a Gator! 🐊💚🧡
There will be no school on Monday, September 7, in observance of Labor Day.

DEADLINE SEPTEMBER 4TH!
The ToothMobile is Coming to Columbus County Schools!
The Columbus County Health Department ToothMobile will be visiting Columbus County Schools throughout the 2026–2027 school year. The ToothMobile is a mobile extension of the Columbus County Health Department Pediatric Dental Clinic, located at 810 Spivey Road in Whiteville.
The goal of the ToothMobile is to help Columbus County students access dental care and establish a dental home — a place where children can receive regular, ongoing dental care in a familiar setting.
Services offered through the ToothMobile include:
• Dental cleanings
• Dental exams
• X-rays
• Sealants
• Fluoride varnish applications
If additional treatment such as fillings, crowns, or extractions is needed, that treatment will be scheduled at the Columbus County Health Department Dental Clinic or with another pediatric dentist.
The dental clinic serves all patients regardless of their ability to pay. Private insurance, government insurance, Medicaid plans, and uninsured patients are accepted.
WHAT PARENTS NEED TO DO:
If you would like your child to be seen by the ToothMobile this school year, complete the ToothMobile Interest Form and return it to your child's school by September 4, 2026.
https://aptg.co/MtcH46
Parents who select “Yes” will receive additional registration paperwork in the weeks before the ToothMobile visits their child's school. Additional paperwork must be completed before your child can receive services.
Please review the attached ToothMobile Information Sheet and Interest Form for complete details and to indicate your interest.
Questions? Contact the Columbus County Health Department Dental Clinic at (910) 640-6615 ext. 7041.

📚 Schedule Change Requests
Hey Gators! 💚🧡
If you would like to request a schedule change, you MUST complete the Schedule Change Request Form below. Please remember that submitting a request does not guarantee that your schedule will be changed.
I will work through requests in the order they are received, so please be patient! I promise I will review every request and will call you out of class when it is your turn.
🚨 IMPORTANT: Please do NOT just come to the Counseling Office to ask about a schedule change. If I need to see you, I will call you out of class or give you a note.
Coming to the Counseling Office without being called slows down the process for everyone. Thank you for being patient and helping me get through all of the requests!
