As a school staff, we are recognizing the signs of stress in many of our students. We want to be able to partner with you on some ways to help your student handle stress. One way we can do that is in the development of a stress plan. This awesome resource takes students (you can do it for yourself too) through a questionnaire to find healthy coping strategies that can be utilized to cope with stress. After you take the quiz and get your customized plan, email the plan to melinn.brandt@coloradoearlycolleges so we can print it for your student! We hope to help find some healthy coping strategies for the stress our students are feeling!

"FANCY FRIDAY"
CECFC West MS is having Fancy Fridays starting this week.
Let's get dressed up!

Below The Surface Campaign
This awareness effort run by the Colorado Department of Human Services aims to help teens connect to and get support from Colorado Crisis Services by texting “TALK” to 38255. The line allows anyone to text 24/7 with a trained counselor on a personal, free, confidential line. Below the Surface was created by youth for youth who feel pressured to appear as if everything is fine, but just “below the surface” struggle with feelings of isolation, stress, anxiety, and depression related to studies, drugs, alcohol, and relationships. The messaging tries to reassure young adults that it’s OK to ask for help, no one dealing with a mental health or substance use challenge is alone, and regardless of how big or small the challenge is, there is a trustworthy resource to turn to. Colorado Crisis Services is recruiting youth and trusted adults to share Below the Surface in their communities. Click here to learn how to get involved in the Below the Surface youth leadership program, access assets for publishing to your social media feeds, and to order or download free campaign materials.

6th Grade: We will be learning how to write a 5 paragraph essay in MLA format--in conjunction with Social Studies! Students have the opportunity to choose an ancient civilization to dive into further research. This week is focused on types of sources, and how to find reliable sources. The paper will be due March 11.
7th Grade: We are analyzing the novel Call of the Wild in class. Students are expected to submit their 5 paragraph essay for English and Social Studies on March 11, though we will have minimal English class time to work on it.
8th Grade: We are analyzing how characters help develop ideas in the play "12 Angry Men." We will be looking at themes of prejudice, justice, and the idea of "reasonable doubt." This week we will be reviewing what we learned--our test will be Monday, February 28
Everyone: Reading Logs due each Friday! Your student gets 5 Wolf Bucks and a big water bottle sticker for bringing in their reading logs with a parent/guardian's signature. Please reach out if you have any questions!

School of Choice Enrollment: |
School of Choice Enrollment for the 2022-23 school year opens November 1, 2021. Siblings of current students and CEC staff with students will have one-week priority consideration before we process enrollments received from the general public. All current students will automatically be reenrolled for the 2022-23 school year. Students enrolled in 8th grade for the 2021-22 school year at CECFC West Middle School do not need to enroll in the CECFC HS. They will receive a separate email later in the year with additional instructions on what steps are needed to complete the transition into CECFC HS.
