Friday, April 15th is a HALF DAY!
Friday, April 15 is scheduled as a half day for students and staff. CECFC Middle School will use that day to complete our end of year MAPS/NWEA testing. This is an internal test used to monitor student progress and the success of our curriculum. After testing is complete, we have some fun activities planned. School will be dismissed at 11:30am.

The 21-22 Colorado Measures of Academic Success (CMAS) Math and English Language Arts assessments will take place on April 18-19 for all students. In addition, our 8th graders will take the Science test on Wednesday April 20th.
Any student with an extended time accommodation will also test on Thursday morning. These tests are important for CECFC because they allow us to monitor our students individual academic growth and determine where we compare with other Colorado middle schools. They are also a key indicator the state uses when deciding whether to re-authorize our charter.
Please be sure your student is rested, focused, and ready to do well on these tests. If you would like to opt your student out of testing, please click on the button below to complete the opt out form and send it to Delight Hockman or Raychel Carpenter at the school by April 1st.
