CEC PARENT RESOURCE GROUP AND SAC

Everyone is welcome!

No volunteering, no commitment.



Our Parent Resource Group meetings are friendly and casual, a place for parents to meet other CEC families and share stories,

ask questions, and find information.

Any questions brought up are placed as an agenda item for our SAC (School Accountability Committee) meetings with CEC Leadership.


Research shows that when parents are involved in their children's education, they benefit emotionally, socially, and academically.
