Work on Harmony Road...Again... | |
Welcome Back, Everyone! We hope you all had a wonderful holiday break. We know everyone wants to get the semester off to a great start, so we wanted to make sure you are all aware of the road work starting on Harmony yet again.
Please plan ahead! Road work may cause some delays in getting to classes on time.
The City will be doing concrete repairs on the eastbound side of Harmony starting at Boardwalk, proceeding east to McMurray, then looping back in the westbound lanes to College Ave. We anticipate these repairs will be minimally impactful to traffic, mostly single lane drops, a couple blocks at a time. Business and residential access will be maintained throughout. This work is weather dependent and is expected to take 6-8 weeks.
This concrete work is needed in preparation for the larger Harmony resurfacing project tentatively scheduled to begin in April. This project area will be between College Ave. and Timberline and last 4-6 weeks. This project, similar to the 2024 project on Harmony from Strauss Cabin to Timberline, will also maintain business and residential access, and we expect to have at least one lane open in both directions at all times. This resurfacing project, tentatively starting in April, will have higher traffic impacts than the concrete work starting in January.

Bookstore Item Checkout Policies | |
We are so grateful to our new Bookstore Guru, Mrs. Schauerhamer, for working so hard to get everything organized, repaired, and replaced for a great start to the semester! In order to keep our bookstore resources in good shape and available, please note the following policies:
- Textbooks, calculators and other items in the bookstore are checked out to individual students using the Alexandria system.
-
Students must return the exact textbook, calculator, or item in the same or better condition by the end of the semester.​​
-
Lost or damaged textbooks, calculators or items will incur a replacement or damage fee on the student's IC account.​​
-
To avoid end of the semester damage fees, bring textbooks, calculators, or items to the bookstore for repair during bookstore hours.​​
- If a student thinks they may have switched their textbook or calculator, bring it to the bookstore for an item check during bookstore hours.
Please contact Mrs. Schauerhamer if you have questions. Thank you!

Care Corner - How can we Help? | |
A word from your CEC FC HS School Counselor:
Winter is upon us and with it comes shorter days, colder weather, and for some of us... hibernation - mental, physical and emotional. In recent years, mental health practitioners have brought more attention to how the cooler, darker months might affect our mood. Please CLICK HERE for some great information regarding Seasonal Affective Disorder ( SAD ) and how it might be impacting you, your student and your family unit.

Concerns about Finances or Housing? | |
Awareness isn’t just knowing that homelessness exists; it’s about recognizing signs, understanding experiences, and knowing how to help. By bringing visibility to individual stories and challenging misconceptions, awareness opens the door to real support and systemic improvements.
Ways to increase awareness:
-
View this documentary on homeless children: American Street Kid and/or Shelter with your family and have a meaningful family conversation over dinner.
- Find a way to volunteer in your local community.
-
Contact our school McKinney-Vento Liaison, Erica Koehler (erica.koehler@coloradoearlycolleges.org) to find out how to get involved here at CEC.

Everyone is welcome!
No volunteering, no commitment.
Our Parent Resource Group meetings are friendly and casual, a place for parents to meet other CEC families and share stories, ask questions, and find information. Any questions brought up are placed as an agenda item for our SAC (School Accountability Committee) meetings with CEC Leadership.
SAC includes the Head of School (or designee), along with parents and community members, to offer guidance on academic action plans, budget priorities, safety issues and other areas.
2024-25 School Year Meeting Dates:
Meetings on Wednesdays at 4:30-5:30 PM
· February 19
· April 16
Research shows that when parents are involved in their children's education, they benefit emotionally, socially, and academically.

We all meet regularly to have fun and organize events. Be part of our team! Visit our website or email cecfcsac@gmail.com if you're interested.
