CEC PARENT RESOURCES

Everyone is welcome!

No volunteering, no commitment.


Our Parent Resource Group meetings are friendly and casual, a place for parents to meet other CEC families and share stories, ask questions, and find information. Any questions brought up are placed as an agenda item for our SAC (School Accountability Committee) meetings with CEC Leadership.

SAC includes the Head of School (or designee), along with parents and community members, to offer guidance on academic action plans, budget priorities, safety issues and other areas.

2024-25 School Year Meeting Dates: 

Meetings on Wednesdays at 4:30-5:30 PM

·   September 18

·   November 20

·   February 19

Research shows that when parents are involved in their children's education, they benefit emotionally, socially, and academically.

We all meet regularly to have fun and organize events. Be part of our team! Visit our website or email cecfcsac@gmail.com if you're interested.


Thank you very much, CEC Parents!
