Drive Line & Parking
In order to be good neighbors with the businesses around ECA, we kindly ask that you do not drop off or pick up in their parking lots to the east (Action Behavior Centers) and west (PeakView Pointe).
Drop-off and Pick-up traffic flow:
Enter ECA from the 11th street entrance, then proceed around the building to drop off or pick up on the west side of the building.
You will then continue around ECA and exit onto 11th street, making a right-hand turn only.
During pick-up, if you arrive early you can park on the south side or east side of the building.
Please do not park in the spaces on the east side of the building along the median divider where the "Permit Parking Only" signs are. These spaces are owned by and reserved for the use of Action Behavior Centers and their clients.
We sincerely appreciate your continued support. Please reach out to us if you have any additional questions.

ECA Catch Up Day/Reward day
We would like to inform you about an important event at Early College Academy on Friday, November 22nd, aimed at supporting and rewarding our students.
School Catch-Up Day: Students with a D or an F in any class will use this day to catch up on assignments and improve their grades. The list of students who need to attend the catch-up day will be finalized on Monday, November 11th.
Reward Day: Students who have A's, B's, and/or C's will enjoy a day of fun activities, including bowling in the morning and a movie with snacks in the afternoon.
Please note: Attendance is mandatory for all students, whether they are participating in the catch-up day or the reward day. Ensuring your child’s presence is crucial for their academic progress and participation in school events.
We appreciate your support and encourage you to remind your child to complete any pending work before November 11th so they can make the most of this day.
AUDITIONS FOR THEATER PRODUCTION
Attention students and families! Auditions for ECA’s play “Graduation for Dummies” will be on Monday November 11th and Wednesday November 13th after school from 3:30-4:30, all students at ECA are welcome to audition. We look forward to seeing you there!
ATTENDANCE MATTERS
Going to school regularly in high school is very important for doing well in class and growing as a person. When students show up every day, they can better understand what is being taught, join in-class activities, and finish their work on time. Good attendance also helps students learn how to manage their time, be responsible, and stay organized—skills that are useful later in life. Plus, being in school regularly helps students make friends and build strong relationships with teachers, making school a more positive and supportive place to be. We highly encourage all of our families to schedule their vacations during the upcoming breaks in November and December.
If your child is sick or will not be at school because of an emergency, please call the front office to excuse their absence at 970-348-5800. If your student has been excused from school ten or more times in a school year, every excused absense after that point will require a doctr's note or equivalent documentation.
Students who attend school regularly have been shown to achieve at higher levels than students who do not have regular attendance. Research shows that missing 10 percent of the school (16 total absences over the entire school year) will have a negative impact on a student’s academic performance!
Thanksgiving break
Thanksgiving Break will be from Monday November 25th through Friday November 29th. ECA will be closed for the holiday, and District 6 offices will be closed Thursday and Friday. Wishing you all a wonderful, restful break!
