Newsletter - Back to In-Person Learning

Character Trait: Service

Service to others means being unselfish.

It means doing something for someone else without expecting any reward or gain.

From Head of School, Lacey Scadden

Our staff has been busy gearing up for the return of students Tuesday, Jan 19th!

Thanks to grant dollars we have been able to make some improvements to our building to increase the safety of staff and students. Before break our building was equipped with an air ionizer for the HVAC system that will reduce all types of illness by purifying our air. We also have received mobile rapid temperature scanners that can also recognize proper facial covering. We have registered to receive rapid covid-19 tests for our school to be administered to symptomatic staff and students, and we soon will be installing touch free refillable water bottle stations. These additions to the measures we already had in place will help to keep our community healthy.

Students and staff in the building will still be required to wear facial covering, free of holes. We will have frequent hand washing and continue to practice social distancing.

If your student is symptomatic please keep them home until they are 24 hours fever free or symptoms have resolved. Remote students and students on quarantine or isolation will be allowed to attend class remotely. For all other absences students, will need to contact their individual teachers for make up work.

As a school community, we have done a great job at protecting our pack and as we continue to work together I know we will have a successful return to in person learning!

Remember if you would like your student to remote learn for the remainder of the semester please email me lacey.scadden@coloradoearlycolleges.org

Enrollment Open for 2021-2022!

We would love your help in spreading the word about open enrollment for the 2021-2022 school year.

When we ask students how they heard about CEC, 9 times out of 10 it is because a friend, relative, or neighbor shared this with them. Our schools continue to grow and we continue to impact more and more Colorado families because of YOU! If you know a family that could benefit from our program, you can share our Facebook posts, our Informational Webinars, or the link to enroll.

Please contact Jule Zehrung with any questions or suggestions!

Next Information Sessions are Thursday, January 14 at 6 pm and Thursday, January 21 at 6pm Thursday, January 14th at 6pm
