Hello Owls,

The weather is starting to warm, and that can only mean one thing: Spring is just around the corner. Okay, two things: with spring comes Spring Break! We are one week away from a much-deserved break so keep pushing through with focus and determination and that will make that break feel even more rewarding. Remember, the key to success in the online space is to stay organized, make a plan for your day, commit to your schedule, reflect on your successes, and don’t hesitate to ask for help if you need it. You’ve got this, and we’re cheering you on every step of the way! 

After Spring Break, our focus will quickly shift to state assessments. As we head into this busy time of year, it’s important to remember that state assessments are an opportunity to show what you’ve learned and how much you’ve grown this year. Your teachers have been working hard to prepare you, and now it’s your chance to put that knowledge to the test. Remember, doing your best isn’t about being perfect — it’s about showing up, staying focused, and giving it your all. All we ask is that you do your best! Stay tuned for all of the important information coming out at this time about state assessments! 

Keep up the great work everyone! 

Mr. Smith

Hello CECOLC Owls and Guardians, 

As we get ready to spring into action, we are excited to bring you the latest news from the CECOLC Advising Department. This newsletter is your go-to source for updates and upcoming events that matter for a student’s academics over the next couple of weeks.  

This is the last update before Spring Break, so please mark your calendars for a well-deserved break from March 24th – 28th for middle and high school students. But before you check out completely, please make yourselves aware of important announcements from the advising department. Front Range Community College students, please check your syllabus for spring break dates, as they are likely not the same as CEC. 

Class of 2025: are you ready to celebrate? We are! May graduation is approaching, and we are so proud of you and your accomplishments. 

For all students that are in high school courses: all courses should be pacing at 45%, and next week heading into Spring Break is a great opportunity to hit that mark and go beyond. The support staff, teachers, advisor, and tutors are available to assist you all. Please take full advantage of our services. 



Fall 2025 Advising begins this week, 3/18/2025 with the class of 2026. Please check your CEC emails and schedule your appointment as soon as possible, if you have not done so already. 

All current students continuing with FRCC, it’s that time of the year again to sign the FRCC 2025/26 Intent Form. Make sure your students are able to register by submitting your intent forms for the upcoming academic year. Please find form here! Connect with your advisor to make sure you are ready prior to your spring advising appointment. 

Lastly, our team is so grateful for each and every one of you — your commitment to learning and growing inspires us all! Let’s continue this journey together, with enthusiasm and resiliency, making every step forward a meaningful one. 

Keep soaring higher, 

The CECOLC Advising Team
