Coyote Update

Welcome Back Coyotes!

I hope that you all had a relaxing and restful break. It was so good to see all of the students back on campus...they were even smiling! 😀 We welcomed 10 new students to CEC this semester and are so excited for them to join our family.

As we head into the 3rd quarter (this is a quick quarter), please make sure that students are arriving to school on time and ready to work. Computers should be charged nightly so they are ready to go the next morning. CGCC classes start next week, please make sure to give yourself time in the parking lot. It gets really busy and spots fill up quickly.

This week and next please be on the lookout for syllabi coming from every class your child is enrolled in at CEC. Once you have read over each syllabus, please sign and return it to school. I will also be sending home an opt out form for our inspirational speaker that will be here on January 31, 2024. I saw Lance Thonvold at an event and was inspired by his message. He talks to students about their self-worth and value. He speaks about the internal growth inside of every individual and overcoming adversity. If you do not wish for your child to participate in this activity, an alternate one will be provided. Link for Lance Thonvold is below in Important Dates section.

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

• A parent or legal guardian is asked to call the attendance office within 24 hours of the absence to officially excuse students from school or particular periods of classes during the day. Please call our attendance line at 480.224.3067.
• 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.

Consequences for Absences

• After 4 absences (excluding documented illness) per quarter, the student will be place on an attendance contract. This is their first warning.
• After 8 absences per quarter, student will be issued a second warning that they can be dropped from their in-person class.
• After 10 absences, family will receive a 10-Day Attendance Letter (10 consecutive absences, the state requires schools to automatically withdraw the student, please make sure to be in contact with Mrs. Scaringelli or Mrs. King)
• After 12 absences, students will have received their final warning
• 13 absences is considered missing 1/3 of the curriculum. In-person classes will be dropped and student's will be placed in a lift lab equivalent.

• After 18 absences, family will receive a 18-Day Attendance Letter
• After 10 Consecutive Absences per semester, the state requires schools to automatically withdraw the student.
