Limited Open Campus Policy

CEC Parker has adopted a limited open campus policy as a privilege for students. The policy permits students in good standing to leave school grounds for CECP approved purposes, including classes off campus and the time designated for lunch for all students grades 10 - 12. Parents/guardians are able to opt-out their student from having off campus lunch privileges by submitting this form to the Director of Campus Culture or Head of School. Good standing is defined as students who are in good academic, attendance, and behavioral standing.

1. Freshmen are not allowed to leave campus.

2. Open campus privileges can be revoked at any time by either the parent/guardian or CECP Administration.

3. Students with Academic, Attendance, or Disciplinary infractions may lose open-campus privilege at the discretion of CECP administration.

A student who violates the CECP Student Code of Conduct or violates any of the standards set forth by CECP may not be allowed open campus privileges at the discretion of the Director of Campus Culture.

PSAT

Attention to all 10th and 11th graders the PSAT/NMSQT is in October. This year we will be administering the assessment to full-time and part-time students at the Inverness campus (CECI) on October 11th. More information will come about times and what to bring will be in the coming newsletters.

What is PSAT/NMSQT? 

First of all, what do all those letters stand for? The full name is the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test, often abbreviated to PSAT. So, what is the PSAT? It's a standardized test that 10th and 11th graders can take, and about 3.5 million students choose to take it each year. 

The PSAT is used to determine eligibility and qualification for JUNIORS in the National Merit Scholarship Program (which is what the "NMSQT" part of the name is for). It also serves as a practice test for the SAT but be aware that you can't submit PSAT scores to colleges as your standardized test scores. 

If you are interested in taking the PSAT/NMSQT please sign up here by 9/01/2023. The cost is $18.00, you can bring your payment to the front desk in check (to CEC Douglas County) or cash form with your student's name and grade by 10/02/2023. 

Please take a moment and get familiar with the new digital version by clicking this link.
