**Dear Students of Craven Early College**: Yes! We have finally reached our final destination, and we sincerely hope that all of you are excited about our new home. Although some classrooms are still missing tile on the floors, hopefully you can see that a lot of thought went into making your new home a very inviting and exciting place to learn. With your help as students, we as faculty and staff will work to keep our building looking good, and will work to further enhance its appearance.

As with the move to any new location, the faculty and staff will work to make any necessary adjustments as soon as possible to ensure that your learning and safety is not jeopardized in any fashion. Please exercise patience as we monitor how things are going for the next couple of days. Your teachers will provide you immediate updates as adjustments are made throughout the week. Obviously we do not have all the answers at this point; however, there are some issues that we knew beforehand that we had to address. We have provided a list of things we would like all of you to be aware of. The list is as follows:

Again, we sincerely hope there is excitement in the air about our school and the direction CEC is headed. Together we can all make this a wonderful place to learn and fellowship. Let’s all commit to making this the best year ever at CEC.
 * ** Please adhere to the “Please Help Keep Our School Clean” signs posted throughout the building. ** It you see paper on the floor, pick it up. If you see water or any liquid on the floor, wipe it up. If you see other students being a ‘litter bug’, correct them politely.
 * **Please do not enter into the areas where you see orange cones in the walk-way. These areas are designated for the BLET students. **
 * ** Please remember that only upperclassmen may journey to the Student Center during lunch time, not freshmen. **// Also, please be reminded that students who are late for class retuning from lunch will have the privilege denied for a period time. //
 * **Please use designated crosswalks when crossing the street at all times; remember to look both ways. We would prefer you not have in earphones from Ipods while crossing the street. You need to be fully attentive to the traffic around you. **//Note: 8-9am and 12:15-12:40pm are the busiest times to cross the street. //
 * ** Please help ensure that the side doors of our building always remain closed unless it is during our designated lunch time.  **
 * **Please transition from our building to the main campus as quickly as possible. We do not want to make excuses for being late to high school or college classes. **

** Respectfully, ** ** Dean Colvin **
 * Reminder: Picture Day Tomorrow **
