From the office of Culture & Safety:
Emergency procedures are defined in CEC Inverness Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) and include Evacuation/Fire, Lock Down, Secure, Hold and Shelter. CECI is required to perform these drills at least twice a year, except for Fire drills, which should be conducted every month. CECI uses the Standard Response Protocol developed by the I Love U Guys Foundation as our “uniformed, planned, and practiced response to any incident and is the foundation of a safe school.”
We would like to inform you that throughout the months of November and December, we will be actively completing these drills so that we maintain compliance within the CEC framework for school safety. Please remind your student that during these drills he/she needs to be mindful of how serious it is to comply with the directives that are given, such as:
- Always remain with your teacher or a CECI staff member
- Account for your whereabouts
- Respond to the staff member's directions
- Take these drills seriously so that you are prepared in case a real situation occurs
To assist CECI staff in responding to emergencies and to ensure that parents/guardians receive all school messages and mailings, please email the CEC Inverness Registrar with any changes/updates to your home address, phone numbers or email addresses.
Thank you for reviewing this information with your student, and we will always put student and staff safety at the forefront of what we do.
Best wishes!
Jeff Gardella (Director of Campus Culture)
Juan Hernandez (Campus Monitor)

College Fairs are still going on through November
If you are considering going to a 4-year university after graduating from CEC, you may want to attend a college fair. These are great opportunities for meeting with representatives of several colleges all in one day. In-person and virtual options are available. Click here to find an event near you.

What you need to know about withdrawing from a college class:
If you are currently failing one or more of your college classes, the first step is to meet with your instructor to determine what you need to do to pass the class. If your instructor indicates that it is unlikely that you will be able to pass the class, you may want to consider withdrawing from the class. Withdrawing from a college class will result in a “W” on your transcript. It will not affect your overall GPA, but it could affect your overall academic plan and you may be required to complete the accountability measures as laid out by CECDC to enroll in classes for the next semester.
This form must be completed and provided to your CEC Academic Advisor prior to the deadline of November 15th. After that deadline you may not withdraw from a college class and a grade will be posted.

Letters of Recommendation
If you are applying to a university and need a letter of recommendation from a teacher or your academic advisor, please ask your chosen recommender first so they know to look for the email notification for submitting the recommendation. Also, please be sure to give your recommender plenty of time to write the letter before the due date. Two weeks lead time will help your recommender write a good letter!
CEC Transcripts
CEC advisors are not authorized to release grades/transcripts as those must be requested through the student’s CEC Parchment account and that may take 2-5 business days to process.
-
CEC High School Transcripts: If you are applying to colleges/universities and need high school transcripts (official and unofficial), submit your request through your CEC Parchment account. If you don’t have a CEC Parchment account activated, please create a “New Learner Account” at: CEC Parchment. You do not need a registration code.
If you have questions, please contact Stephanie Webb, CECI School Registrar at stephanie.webb@coloradoearlycolleges.org.
SAT Testing for graduating seniors
If you are a graduating senior intending to apply to a university and wish to take the SAT again to improve your score, there are upcoming SAT testing dates in October, November, and December. You will be responsible for registering and paying for the testing. This is not a school-sponsored testing event. Locations for testing vary. Click here for more information.

Twelfth night is widely regarded as the summit of Shakespeare's comic vision, signaling the close of a decade of comic writing and ushering in a darker landscape of plays that he continued to write until his death. It weaves together four seperate plotlines that perfectly merge to create a masterful ending. Twelfth night encompases a refreshing and triumphant tone of sunny celebration that all can enjoy.
