It's that time of year when you and your students may be thinking about preparations for The College Board's Spring SAT test.
Taking an SAT prep course through organizations like The College Board, Kaplan, or Khan Academy offers several key benefits to students preparing for the exam. These courses provide structured, comprehensive study plans designed to cover all test sections—Reading, Writing and Language, Math, and the optional Essay. Through practice tests, drills, and targeted lessons, students can identify their strengths and weaknesses, enabling them to focus on areas needing improvement. Test prep courses often include expert strategies for time management, question analysis, and critical thinking, which can help boost both confidence and scores. Additionally, many of these programs offer personalized feedback and adaptive learning tools, allowing for a customized experience based on individual needs. With consistent practice and expert guidance, students are better equipped to achieve their highest potential on test day.
Following are links to three such resources you may use to guide you through the test preparation process.
Have a great day, and happy studying!

The withdrawal deadline for an ACC course is no later than Nov. 14th! A withdraw DOES show on your transcript!
Advising has started for the Spring semester. We started with freshmen this semester, due to delays with ACC releasing their Spring Schedule and opening registration for college courses. Freshmen and Seniors have now been invited to schedule their appointments, and links for scheduling will be coming out soon for Juniors and Sophomores! Please wait until you receive an invitation to schedule!
If you are starting to apply for colleges and would like to review the process or need assistance, make an appointment to see your Advisor, or plan to discuss it in your advising session.
If you are in need of an Advisor Recommendation for Common App, let your Advisor know well in advance of any deadlines!
If you are asking any staff/faculty member for a Letter of Recommendation, it is best to: ask in person; give them a minimum of two weeks notice before a deadline; and provide the person you are asking with your resume or a short list of jobs, awards, accomplishments, etc that you want them to mention in your letter.
This is an extremely busy time of year in Advising, so please be patient if waiting for a response from Advisors via phone or email!

Colorado Early Colleges (CEC) believes that academic success is fundamentally dependent on class attendance. For questions about our Attendance and Tardy Policies, please read further:
Our school’s Attendance and Tardy Policy can be found in the Student and Family Handbook; however, it is nice to know what counts as an excused and unexcused absence. This information can be found on page 14 of the Student and Family Handbook.
The follow are recognized as excused absences:
- Absences due to temporary illness or injury.
- Absences due to a physical, mental, or emotional disability.
- Absences due to a suspension, or expulsion in accordance with C.R.S. 22-33-105 and 106.
- Absence due to student to whom a current age and school certificate or work permit has been issued pursuant to the Colorado Youth Employment Opportunity Act of 1971.
- Absence due to a student who is in the custody of a court or law enforcement authorities.
- Absences due to participation in an approved work-study program.
- Absences due to court appearances and participation in court-ordered activities if a student is in out-of-home placement (as that term is defined by C.R.S. 22-32-138(1)(e)). The student’s assigned social worker will verify the student’s absence was for a court appearance or courtordered activity.
- Medical and Legal appointments.
- Family funeral attendance.
- School sponsored programs or competitions such as state music performances, robotics competitions, sports, Knowledge Bowls, etc
CEC Heads of Schools, or their respective designees, may recognize additional absences as excused such as religious observations or other occurrences.
Unexcused absences occur when the student is absent without a reason or for a reason outside of the excused absences identified within this attendance policy. See CEC policy Attendance and Tardiness.
Extended Absences:
We understand that there may be a time when an extended absence is planned during the year. All extended absences need approval from the Head of School or Academic Dean. A student who is absent a total of 10 unexcused absences for the year may be marked as Habitually Truant- to avoid this, please fill out a
Pre-Approved Absence Form prior to the absence. It must be filled out and approved before the absences are taken. You can also pick up a Pre-Approved Absence Form at the front desk.
Sports Forms:
We understand many students participate in sports at other local schools and we try to accommodate students who may need to leave a few minutes early or may need to travel for an out-of-town event. To be excused a few minutes early for athletics, students must fill out the Sports Form. Early dismissal is a privilege and may be revoked if it is abused or students fail to maintain schoolwork. If a student needs to miss a day due to a tournament, out-of-town event, etc.; a Pre-Approved Absence Form must be completed. Both forms are also located at the front desk.

Your copy should address 3 key questions: Who am I writing for (audience)? Why should they care (benefit)? What do I want them to do (call-to-action)?
Create a great offer by adding words like "free," "personalized," "complimentary," or "customized." A sense of urgency often helps readers take action, so consider inserting phrases like "for a limited time only" or "only 7 remaining!"
