CEC Announcement/ Anuncio de la CEC

Posted April 13, 2020

Dear CEC Community:

This is undoubtedly the strangest time of my life; I imagine it is for many of you as well. However, I’ve never been prouder to say I work at CEC. The entire CEC Family, students, parents, staff and teachers have come together during this crisis and have risen to the occasion to support each other better than I could have imagined.

In the spirit of transparency, I wanted to let you know that, during the week of our actual spring break, March 30-April 3, a CEC employee tested positive for COVID-19. Fortunately, that employee appears to be recovering; we are checking in regularly.

Timeline and Information: 

• The last time that employee was with students and staff was on March 13. 
• The staff member was last in the building on March 17. 
• Per CDC and CDPHE, the symptoms of COVID-19 may include mild to severe respiratory illness with fever, cough and difficulty breathing.

For more information, read about COVID-19 Symptoms or call CO-Help at 303-389-1687 or 877-462-2911, for answers in English and Spanish. If you are experiencing any symptoms, please contact your healthcare provider immediately.

As always, the CEC Support Staff is here to help. If you need additional support for any of the following issues, please reach out to the following people (school phone is forwarded to cell numbers):
