CECFC is pleased to announce our new partnership with CarpooltoSchool!
CarpooltoSchool will allow our families at the Middle School and High School to find, join or create a carpool to and from school. We will have an app on Android or iPhone and a website where you can register. Some of the great features include secure matching within the CECFC community, Google maps integration, scheduling, and built-in text messaging to remind you when it's your turn to drive.

We will be launching this on Wednesday, 9/14/2022. We will send more information in the coming days on how to get registered!
We are asking ALL parents to register and utilize this FREE service! Use it for carpooling to and from school, after school activities, clubs and school events.

Are you in need of our bell schedule? Maybe our school calendar? Click the button below to be directed to our "Documents & Forms" page on our website where you can find important and helpful information. | |
A reminder that for the safety and security of our students and staff, ID badges must be worn around student's necks at all times while on campus. Students may not cover up their image, change their names, or carry anything inside the plastic casing other than their ID. The CEC lanyards must be kept as is. Do not change it or add anything to it. Please remind your student to take care of their ID and keep them in a safe place when not at school. There is a $5 fee for replacement of lost or damaged ID cards. | |
|
Parents, please remind your students to ALWAYS use the designated crosswalks when crossing our busy streets. Please do not allow your student to jaywalk at any time. As students return to in-person schooling, traffic will get busier making our surrounding streets more dangerous to cross. Do not park on the north side of Monte Carlo (Kruse Elementary side) and expect your student to cross the street to meet you, and do not allow your student to jaywalk across the street to the Safeway parking lot. They must use the crosswalks at all times. Parents, please also be aware of our students as they cross our streets. Our students safety is our priority!
| |
We know that sometimes appointments for your students must be made during the school day. In order to minimize classroom interruptions, please call ahead or send a note with your student to the front office for early dismissal. Please try and schedule your student's pick up time during passing periods. You can see our bell schedule HERE. Your student will give this pass to his/her teacher and be dismissed in time to be ready and waiting for you in the lobby. | |

TDAP REQUIRED FOR
COLORADO STUDENTS ENTERING 6TH GRADE
| |
|
In Colorado, students entering 6th grade are required to get the tetanus-diphtheria-pertussis (Tdap) vaccine before they start school. See www.colorado.gov/pacific/cdphe/schoolrequiredvaccines.
Tetanus is a rare, non-contagious disease that can cause painful muscle tightening and stiffness; people can get tetanus through a cut or wound. Diphtheria is a rare, contagious disease that can cause breathing problems, heart failure, and other serious issues. Pertussis, or whooping cough, is a very contagious disease that can cause severe coughing spells, difficulty breathing, and other serious issues, especially in infants, toddlers, and other people who have weakened immune systems. Adolescents who get pertussis can be sick for up to three months. A Tdap dose administered at 10 years of age counts as the adolescent Tdap dose and meets Colorado’s 6th grade Tdap requirement: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/hcp/acip-recs/vacc-specific/dtap.htmL.
If your student does not receive Tdap vaccine and does not meet Colorado’s 6th grade Tdap requirement, a Certificate of Medical Exemption or an annual Certificate of Nonmedical Exemption must be submitted to the school: www.colorado.gov/vaccineexemption. This will assure that your student is in compliance with the Colorado school immunization law and be allowed to attend school.
Please reach out to your CEC Health Staff if you have any questions or concerns, we are happy to answer any questions. Thank you!
