Although it is still in the nineties this week, the weather is finally getting cooler. We love this time of the year! November is a busy month, please make sure to look at the important dates section below. This is a quarter that goes by quickly and has many days off.
November is Indigenous Heritage Month. One of our student's Naomi from the Quechan Tribe, Yuma has her artwork featured on CUSD's Artists are Storytellers. Congratulations Naomi...you are so talented!
Progress Reports will be posted in Infinite Campus on November 17th at 10:00 AM. Students with missing assignments should contact their teacher to ensure that they get everything in before posting.
I would like to take this opportunity to THANK all of you for being a part of our CEC family. We are truly blessed to have you in all of our lives. May your Thanksgiving be filled with love and happiness!

School starts promptly at 7:30 AM. It is important for all students to arrive on time and be prepared for class. CEC works on a 9-week semester and curriculum moves quickly.
Excused Absences

- Students arriving late or leaving early must sign in/out at the front office and have a parent or legal guardian call the front desk to excuse at 480.224.3060.
- No student will be permitted to leave campus without parent verification.
- Students are responsible for making arrangements to make up time missed, as that impacts student progress here at CEC more than any other factor. Please make sure to check Google classroom.
Unexcused Absences are considered truancies. the parent is notified whenever a student is absent. Work cannot be made-up for credit on unexcused absences.
Tardy to Class
- Students are expected to be seated in their classrooms ready to begin class work at the start of each period and immediately after all breaks and lunch.
- A tardy is defined as "not being in an assigned seat at the minute".
- Student's who have habitual tardies may be dropped from their class. If tardies are in first hour, student's schedules may be changed to add to a class later in the day.
- If your child is tardy, please call the front office to excuse them.
