Family/Teacher Conferences |
|
CECP teachers look forward to meeting with parents of high school students in person on Friday, October 8th from 10:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m.
New this year! Please stop by the Conference Room while you are on campus for conferences to learn about our student support system at CECP.
High school classes, along with ENG 121, MAT 120, and MAT 121, will be available for conferences only; other college instructors will not be holding conferences. As always, we encourage students to set up times outside of conferences to meet with their college professors if they have questions. This practice serves to better prepare our students for off campus classes.
Please sign-up here to meet with a specific teacher. Sign-ups will open Friday 9/24 and closes Thursday 8/7 at noon. You must sign up via the link above in order to meet with your teacher.
If you are unable to attend the conference in person, you may schedule a Teams meeting using the link above.
If all the appointment times are filled for a teacher that you would like to have a conference with, please email the teacher for an alternative time to meet.

Hunter Evans- 10th Grade
Hunter is unsure where he wants to go to school after graduating from CECP but is interested in business and possibly joining the Air Force. He is currently involved in the anime club and theater. For theater, he recently raised around $220 for the next production. For fun, Hunter likes gaming, legos, and is close to earning his Eagle Scout badge.
Here is what the teachers had to say:
- “Hunter is a sweet and energetic young person. He is consistent in getting the help he needs to succeed and is a joyful presence on campus.”
- “Hunter is very devoted to theater. He made a record number of sales and was very responsible for delivering butter braids and gluten-free cookie dough to my office. He is very organized, courteous, and a go-getter.”
- “Hunter always brings humor to our class!”
- "Hunter brings lots of joy to the class. And he brought snacks for everyone!
- “Hunter is a ray of sunshine. He always has such a positive attitude and a smile on his face!”
- "Hunter is a sweet and bright student. He is so funny and his presence brings joy to the class.”
- "Hunter is funny and his positive energy lifts up the room and everyone in it. "
M’Seiya Thomas- 11th Grade
M’Seiya would like to attend the California Institute of Arts (CalArts) after CECP and go into animation. She started the Anime Club on our campus and is currently involved in helping start a food drive initiative. For fun, M’Seiya likes drawing.
Here is what the teachers had to say:
- “M'Seiya is a brilliant talent with a quiet presence and a big heart. She is one to keep our eye on as she will, undoubtedly, do great things in the world.”
- “M'Seiya is an exceptional student who is always willing to go to the difficult places many people don't want to know about in our class discussions. She is bright, talented, honest, and driven.”
- "M'Seiya is such a thoughtful and talented person! She is considerate of others and has a way of contributing without being overbearing.”
- “Hunter and M'Seiya are both wonderful additions to our campus. They both lead by example often giving their all to a particular task or event. Neither is pushy or bossy, instead, they are both glad to aid others when asked and happy to step back and let others lead when it may be best.”
