We understand the concern coming from parents about some of the questions being asked. Please know that we will always support our parents in making their own decisions about their students health and information.

COVID - 19 PROTOCOLS AND UPDATES |
|
-
The guidance that our health department follows in determining when students need to be quarantined can be found here.
- Face coverings are not required for students and staff; however, facemasks are recommended to be worn by unvaccinated individuals and those that feel more comfortable doing so.
- CEC will be supportive of individuals that choose or need to wear masks. It is expected that every member of the CEC community will respect each other's decisions on these subjects.
- We will continue to encourage hand washing and frequent cleaning of high touch areas.
- Increased ventilation and use of outdoor spaces will be implemented whenever possible.
-
Any staff or students experiencing symptoms should stay home, this is the most important practice to limit quarantines of students and staff this year. CECFC will follow CDPHE’s updated Return to Learn guidance for determining when students and staff can return to school. Students who are home sick can still access their classes through Microsoft Teams or the community college portal. Students should check course syllabi for requirements regarding absences in each of their courses.
- Information on the number of positive/probable cases among staff and students will be provided in the weekly newsletter. If your student is in class with a positive/probable case you will be contacted by the school so you are aware of the exposure.
-
CEC’s virtual program is available for any students wishing to learn remotely this year. More information can be found here: CECFC Online Learning.
