COFFEE WITH CEC

STUDENT LUNCH PAYMENTS

There are two options for putting money into your student's lunch account. You are able to set up a lunch account online through Titan by clicking here:  https://family.titank12.com/, or you can send your student in to the front office to leave their lunch money with Mrs. Cable and she will give it to our food services team.  Thank you for your cooperation!

ORCHESTRA AND BAND CONCERT

Parents and Guardians, our first orchestra and band concert is next Thursday, September 22. We had to push the time back a half hour due to an overlap in events at the high school, therefore, the concert will start at 7:00 PM. Students must be in the high school music room by 6:30 PM to warm up. 


If your student has not yet purchased a concert music shirt, they need to do so by this Friday, September 16. Order forms went home last week asking for your child's shirt size with a payment of $14. These shirts will be worn with black pants at the concert. 


If you have any questions, please contact Miss Rossman at: ashtyn.rossman@coloradoearlycolleges.org

CHOIR CONCERT

Another concert you won't want to miss is our Choir concert, happening on Tuesday, September 27, at 6:30pm at our High School location.  Choir students will need to arrive in their uniform at 6:00pm for warm up.
