Recovery Day: Friday, April 19, 2024 - it is the final recovery day of the year! We are doing things a little differently.
Students and parents will receive an email from their specific teacher requesting that their student come in for recovery day if that teacher determines they need to attend to make up missed work or get extra support. That teacher will indicate the time they should come in for that course and if they need to sign up for a specific time slot or drop-in during office hours.
Be on the lookout for communication being sent home from instructors. If your student wishes to attend recovery day for support in a specific class, they should speak to that teacher directly.
Please contact Lauren Morrison if you have questions.

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.
