Parent Teacher Conferences

Parent Teacher Conferences 

On March 3rd from 10:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m., CEC Parker will be holding parent teacher conferences.  Here is the link for signing up: Parent Teacher Conferences Spring 2023 Sign-up.



FAQ on CECP Conferences: 

CECP teachers look forward to meeting with parents on Friday, March 3rd from 10:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. Please note that conferences have been open since 2/17 to the parents of students who are earning a 75% or below in one or more of their classes. If this applies to your student(s), please sign-up ASAP; however, conferences are now open to all students.  

• Which teachers can I meet? 

This year, all full-time teachers will be holding conferences, regardless of whether they are college or high school teachers. Some of our part-time teachers and adjuncts will be holding conferences as well, but not all of them. 

• What if the teacher I want to meet with is not on the Bookings page for conferences? 

Please email the teacher directly to schedule a time to meet or to have a video or phone conference. Additionally, if there is a certain teacher you would like to meet with and they are not available at the hours you would like, please reach out to our Academic Assistant, Liv Farrar (olivia.farrar@coloradoearlycolleges.org) to confirm if those hours are indeed unavailable. 

• What are my options for attending? 

This year, all conferences (with the exception of Dr. Laske’s, which are remote only) are in-person on March 3rd. There will be no exceptions. If you cannot meet on the 3rd, please email the teacher, and ask for an alternate date/ time to meet either through video chat or phone call.  

If you have any other questions about parent-teacher conferences, please contact Lily Harris, CECP Academic Dean.

FREE TUTORING AT CECP

REMINDER: We have free tutoring at CECP, and as midterms come up, it is important we remind you that this available. Please reach out to either Dr. Laske, Ms. Smolenski, or Ms. James about tutoring subjects, times, etc.

Attendance Policy Reminder

Parents will have two business days to excuse an absence that was initially entered as “unknown” or “unexcused.”

ACC Billing Information/Error

From our College Partner ACC – regarding student invoice emails:

We have become aware of an automated email that was sent to all students from our billing department that leads them to their MyACC student bill. This is causing confusion for many CE students as they are still seeing a balance.

This is not a statement that is sent, but it is a statement that can be accessed through a student’s myACC account. Unfortunately, Concurrent Enrollment (CE) students will show a balance until the bill is sent to the district, district makes payment, and then payment is processed – which can take some time. The student can ignore the email and balance at this time. It will remain until late Spring.

We are working with our Cashier’s office to edit the language on the invoice and to remove CE students from distribution.

Please reach out to your advisor if you have any additional questions. 

CECP Career Discovery Day

CECP is so excited to be hosting the Career Discovery Day at the Parker campus for our students.
