This movie helps us all flip the script on stress, anxiety, and depression. We follow Delaney Ruston as she finds herself at a loss on how to help her own teens as they struggle with their emotional wellbeing. Ruston sets out to understand these challenges in our current screen-filled society, and how we as parents and schools empower teens to overcome mental health challenges and build emotional agility, communication savvy, and stress resilience. The impact of social media and screen time in general is incorporated in topics brought to our attention in Screenagers NEXT CHAPTER, how it may be impacting our teen’s mental health, and what we can do to help support youth in the face of struggles.

LETTER FROM THE PRINCIPAL |
|
Hello Middle School Families,
It is with mixed emotions that I announce my retirement, effective Friday, May 13.
I've spent 36 years as an educator, but the best years have been spent here at CEC. I joined the middle school staff in its first year, and it has been a privilege to lead and shape this school into what it is today.
I'm happy to say that Mr. Jeb Holt has been hired as my replacement. To make for a smooth transition, he will be working with the staff this semester. I know he is excited to get to know our students and their families.
We would love to have you and your student(s) join us on February 2nd at 3:00 pm for "Snacks with Incoming Principal Mr. Holt", sponsored by SAC. You can also see the attached document for some more information about Mr. Holt and his background.
Delight Hockman • Middle School Principal

The countdown is on. You have 1 day left to guarantee your student gets the Colorado Early College Fort Collins Middle School yearbook. We will be ordering VERY FEW extra copies to sell at the end of the year. It is HIGHLY UNLIKELY there will be a book available for your child if you don’t order a book by January 28th.
A 3 month payment plan is available when you check out from Jostens.com. If you have already bought a book, THANK YOU! Offer ends: January 28th .
Padres,
Ha comenzado la cuenta regresiva. Le quedan 3 días para garantizar que su estudiante reciba un anuario. Es MUY improbable que haya un libro disponible para su hijo si no pide un libro antes del 28 de enero.
Un plan de pago de 3 meses está disponible cuando realiza el pago en Jostens.com. Si ya ha comprado un libro, ¡GRACIAS! La oferta finaliza el 28 de enero. Compre hoy antes de que sea demasiado tarde.
