Important Dates
Thursday, March 6 - Career Discovery Day
March 17 - 21 - Spring Break - NO SCHOOL
The building will be CLOSED for the entire week
| |
|
During the Colorado winter, snow and ice are to be expected and it can be difficult to predict exactly how incoming weather will affect driving conditions. CEC DC North does its best to always make the most appropriate decision regarding school closures and late starts. On days when there is no closure or delay, CEC respects the decision of our parents to keep their student home, if necessary. Please call or email the school's attendance lines for this to be an excused absence.
To report an absence, please email
cecdcnattendance@coloradoearlycolleges.org
or call (720) 505 - 4010

Talent Show is POSTPONED! | | |
|
|
Hello CECDCN Community! Due to the unfortunate weather from last night, CEC Castle Rock campus is closed today; which means, all activities in the building for the entire day have to be rescheduled. This includes the CECDC Talent Show tonight! If you were planning on attending the Talent Show or have already bought tickets, know that we are working to reschedule the show ASAP and will send out more information on the new date sometime next week. Please consider still attending (we will honor all tickets already bought) at the later date or donating your ticket cost to Make-A-Wish Colorado instead of seeking a refund. We are so sorry for the inconvenience, but know that we will create another opportunity for our students to showcase their talent soon! If you have any questions, please contact Dr. Minnick, the CECDCN Student Council Advisor, at kelsey.minnick@coloradoearlycolleges.org.
