Ho-Ho-Holiday Concert!
You won't want to miss CECFC's 2021 Holiday Concert!
Come feel the magic of the season in the CECFC High School Auditorium on Thursday, December 7th at 6:30pm.

We hope to see you there!
Get your Holiday Crackers!
CEC’s Math Team and our Latin, Science Fair, and National History Day students are selling holiday crackers to fundraise for our various tournament & contest entry fees.
Each cracker contains a high-quality favor – a miniature deck of cards, a functional tape measure keychain, an animal-shaped fidget eraser, or a fidget toy – as well as a paper crown, some candies, and some CEC trivia & other fun facts.
Crackers are $20 for a four-pack.
(Four-packs cannot be split since they ensure that you get one of each favor.)
Thank you for supporting the CEC Math, Science, Latin, and History teams!
Pay $20 via credit / debit card or PayPal https://tinyurl.com/yxtyema7 or pay with cash or check at the front desk (High School ONLY). Pick up at the front desk of the High School (or middle school by arrangement).

COVID - 19 PROTOCOLS AND UPDATES
  • The guidance that our health department follows in determining when students need to be quarantined can be found here.
  • 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.
