Coyote Update

As this semester comes to end, the staff and I want to wish all of our CEC families a very happy holiday season!

We had a busy quarter with GCU and EVIT presentations, HOPE Week, Indigenous People Celebration, Food Drive, Quarter Awards Breakfast, and now we are preparing for our semester 2 finals. (Please make sure to look at the calendar and pictures below)

I want to take this opportunity to congratulate our 6 early graduates that will be finishing their high school education on December 21st. We are so proud of each and everyone of you and we cannot wait to see the exciting things you accomplish in your future. You will always be a part of the CEC family and we expect to see you in May at our graduation.

🎉Congratulations🎉

Any senior who is interested in starting college this fall should attend this session with their parents to help guide you through the FAFSA process. This is mandatory for scholarships and grants.

Federal tax information, tax documents, or tax returns, including IRS W-2 information, for you (and your spouse, if you are married), and for your parents if you are a dependent student: IRS Form1040. Foreign tax return or IRS Form 1040-NR.

Please remember that both finals' days are half days. There is a midday bus that can bring your child back to their home school or you can make other transportation arrangements.

If your child has a study hall and chooses to stay home during finals week, please call and excuse them for missing the period.

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.
