Book Return & Buy Back Day

Students, please make sure to return your class books that were checked out to you at the beginning of the semester. You can drop off your books to the Bookstore as soon as you are finished with them for finals. Please make sure to turn in all your checked-out books before you leave for the holiday break to avoid starting next semester with fees!

Not sure what to do with those huge books for your completed off-campus classes? How about you sell them back to us?

Buy Back Day for books purchased for off-campus classes will be the day after final exams, Wednesday, December 13th from 9am - 2pm in the Business Office at the high school. For more information, please contact Amanda Griffith.

Student ID Reminder

To assist campus security, this is a reminder that when we return next semester, all students will be required to have their ID visible on their person at all times with a lanyard or clip. We will have lanyards and clips available at the front desk for students who need them. But students are reminded that their ID needs to be visible anytime they are on campus rather than in a backpack or pocket when school resumes in January. Please contact Court Sheffield with questions.

CEC PARENT RESOURCES

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.


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.


Thank you very much, CEC Parents!
