Parental Involvement
Parent Communication and Volunteer Opportunities Parents’ active participation in their child’s education is vital for the student to acquire the knowledge, skills and character needed to be successful in the future. The Central faculty and staff invite and welcome your participation in your child’s education. For our students to receive the high quality education that is needed in today’s world, the student, parents, teachers, and administration must work together. We encourage all parents to become involved in their child’s education. One way to do this is to volunteer to work at the school in classrooms/library/offices or help at events, such as Fall registration and/or Parent/Teacher conferences. There are many opportunities for parents. If you are interested in volunteering, please call Phil Ulrickson in the Main Office at 348-5000.
Parent/Teacher Conferences Parent/Teacher conferences are held on four dates per year (two dates in the first semester and two dates in the second semester). These conferences are held in two formats: a Classroom format where all teachers are in their individual classrooms and you are invited to walk the Castle and visit any or all of your student’s teachers/ and an Arena format where all teachers are located in the Baggot Gymnasium and the commons area. You may choose the format that best suits your needs. The dates for the Parent/Teacher conferences for 2015-2016 are September 30th and November 4th for the first semester and February 17th and March 23rd for the second semester. You will receive detailed information as we get closer to those dates during the school year.
Parent Portal Central parents can view student’s grades and attendance over the Internet. Parents can see the grades that students have earned on assignments and if the student has turned in all class work. You may view the Parent Portal at central.greeleyschools.org. On top of the school webpage, you will see an icon labeled “IC”. Click on the icon and it will direct you automatically to the parent portal login screen. You then need to enter your assigned login and password. (Please contact the Greeley Central High School Main Office for login and password.) You should then be able to view your child’s grades and attendance record. If you don’t have access to a computer at home, you could go to your nearest public library and access the Internet from there, or you may visit Greeley Central’s main office to inquire about receiving the information via hardcopy.
Parent Advisory Council 2015-2016 The Parent Advisory Council (PAC) at Greeley Central meets periodically throughout the year. The meeting dates for the 2015-2016 school year are listed below. This organization gives parents the opportunity to learn more about what is happening at GCHS. It is also a vital forum for the school administration to receive input from our parent community. Please feel free to join us on the following dates in the library for PAC meetings starting at 5:30PM
September 23rd, 2015 November 18th, 2015 February 24th, 2016 April 20th, 2016
Academic Information Students are held accountable for meeting the thresholds, criteria, and standards set for their classes. Teachers plan a variety of activities and homework assignments that help students gain the knowledge and skills necessary for the course. These activities are a very important part of the instruction at Greeley Central High School. Students who do not actively participate while at school will struggle to reach the high level of learning that is expected of them while attending Greeley Central High School. To help your student be successful, it is a good idea to actively monitor his/her progress at school. The Infinite Campus Parent Portal/Greeley (https://si.greeleyschools.org/campus/portal/greeley.jsp) will help you monitor your student’s progress and attendance at school. Call the main office with questions at 348-5000.

Graduation Requirements / Academic Information
Undoubtedly, high school graduation and post-secondary preparation is the goal for every student at Greeley Central.
As a result, students are creating individual plans of study. A plan of study is defined as courses to be taken during
the 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th, and 13th years of a student’s educational experience which prepare students for their career
aspirations. Minimum requirements for graduation from Greeley Central High School are twenty-two (22) units of
credit in grades 9-12, including the completion of certain specific subject area requirements. One “unit of credit” is
equal to a year of instruction within a course. The credits required for graduation are as follows:
Language Arts: 4 credits based on student’s plan of study
Social Studies: 3 credits
.5 credit of Civics 1 credit of US History 1.5 credits of other social studies courses based on student’s plan of study
Mathematics: 3 credits based on student’s plan of study
Science: 3 credits based on student’s plan of study
Physical Education: 1.5 credits
1 credit in Physical Education • .5 credits in Health
The physical education credit may be acquired based on participation in fitness-related school activities and
courses. Each season of CHSAA-approved sport or participation in Marching Band successfully completed
equates to .25 credits. Up to one credit can be earned for fitness-related school activities and courses. This
credit does not count toward elective credits. This credit does not carry a grade nor apply to GPA. It will be
listed on the transcript as a course and the grade designation will be “P” for passed. (Effective Class of 2015).
Electives: 7.5 credits based on student’s plan of study
Elective Courses. Any course taken that does not count for subject area requirements listed above is considered an elective.
* Volunteer/Community Service Option: A maximum of .5 elective credit may be earned through volunteer community
service or experience-based learning (internships, student mentoring, job shadowing, volunteer work) at the rate of 75
hours per .5 credit. Credits earned under this option must be relevant to the student’s plan of study and pre-approved
through the school counselor. This credit does not carry a grade nor apply to GPA. It will be listed on the transcript
as a course and the grade designation will be “P” for passed.
Course Retake Policy – Students who need to retake a course due to failure may do so on a space available basis to be
determined by the building principal. Other options include, but are not limited to, summer school, community
college, university, and correspondence opportunities. See your counselor for more information.
Early Graduation
Early graduation is allowed provided all requirements for graduation have been met. Early graduation before the end
of the seventh semester must be reviewed and approved by the principal and by the Superintendent or designee.
Students who complete their work at midyear and are eligible to graduate shall receive their diploma at the end of the
school year and may return to take part in the graduation exercises at that time.
P a g e | 8
Extended Time Opportunities
Students who fail to meet graduation requirements at the end of eight semesters of attendance will be encouraged to
continue in school until they meet graduation requirements or through the semester that they turn 21 years old, as
permitted by state law. Students who meet the requirements of the Accelerating Students through Concurrent
Enrollment (ASCENT) legislation may continue to attend WCSD6 high schools for a fifth year. Students choosing
this option must be college ready, have an approved plan of study, take course work applicable toward a degree or
certificate and have completed 12 college credits by the end of their 12th grade year. Students choosing the ASCENT
option will not receive their diploma until the completion of their fifth year. Students may, however, choose to
participate in commencement ceremony with their class.
Transfer Students
Transfer students will be held responsible for District requirements the same as WCSD6 students. Course work
completed outside the District will be evaluated and approved for credit and for fulfillment of graduation
requirements by the principal or designee. In addition, WCSD6 requires enrollment during the semester
immediately prior to graduation and successful completion of at least three credits in WCSD6 unless an exemption is
made by the principal.
Homework
Our school community has established high standards for the quality of education expected for the students at our
school. For students to meet these standards, it is necessary for students to do some assigned work at home.
Students will have homework regularly. Parents can support their student’s academic progress by monitoring
homework and providing time for it to be completed.
Progress Reports
Progress reports are issued at six-week intervals each semester. Progress reports include “A, B, C, D, and F” letter
grades. Progress grades simply indicate progress toward mastery of specified academic course requirements. It is
important to note that each teacher determines progress grades. Occasionally, a progress grade is accompanied by
one or two coded comments, which further explain the grade. Progress reports will be sent home with students.
Progress grades are not permanent as they do not become part of the student’s permanent transcript.
Semester Reports
Student’s grades (A, B, C, D, or F) are directly related to student mastery of academic course requirements and other
criteria as determined by the teacher. They are permanent and do become part of the transcript. Coded comments can
also accompany the semester grade. Semester grades are computed and based upon all work and mastery of academic
course requirements as of the last day of the semester. Any retesting for work in the last two weeks of each semester
will be completed on or before the last day of the semester as determined by the teacher.

Advanced Placement Classes
Greeley Central High School supports a quality Advanced Placement program including classes for a wide variety of
learning experiences for our students. Today, about 2900 colleges and universities (most institutions) have an AP
policy granting incoming students academic credit and/or placement for qualifying grades on AP examinations.
Almost half of all U.S. institutions (approximately 1400) allow students to gain sophomore status if they score a 3 or
better on four or more AP exams. Additionally, more than 200 colleges and universities in more than 50 foreign
countries support the advanced placement policies. The Central AP menu has been expanded to provide more
advanced learning opportunities for more students. Greeley Central offers Advanced Placement courses based upon
student requests and some AP classes are on a rotating (every other year) basis. Of the twenty-one AP courses listed
in the handbook, approximately 15 are offered each year. Since the average number of AP courses being offered in
high schools across the U.S. is six, Central’s current menu is considered to be extremely comprehensive. Advanced
Placement courses are offered each year based upon student requests. The following is a list of AP classes offered:
AP Art History
AP Biology
AP Government/Politics
AP Spanish Language
AP Calculus AB (1st year)
AP Human Geography
AP Music Theory
AP Physics B (1st year)
AP Physics C (2nd year)
AP Computer Science
AP Economics
(Micro/Macro)
AP Psychology
AP English Lang/Comp
AP Environmental Science
AP Studio – Art
AP U.S. History
AP German Language
AP Statistics
AP Spanish Literature
AP French Language
AP Chemistry
Academic Lettering
To “Letter” academically at Greeley Central, a student must:
Maintain a grade point average of 3.75 or better for two consecutive semesters in the same academic year
Courses taken at Greeley Central, UNC, and Aims will be used for GPA calculations (Correspondence courses will not be used when calculating GPA)
Transfer grades from other schools will be acknowledged
All classes count for GPA calculations, including Leaderships. However, students may elect to be a senior mentor and receive community service instead of credit. In this case, senior mentors do not count towards course load.
National Honor Society
The Grade Point Average (GPA) the student must possess to be eligible for National Honor Society at Greeley
Central is 3.5. The student must also provide evidence (through an application process) of character, leadership,
service and citizenship. Students that meet these standards and who complete the application process are inducted
into the National Honor Society in the spring of their junior year.
P a g e | 10
Standardized Assessments
Each year, the students at Greeley Central are required to take a variety of standardized assessments. They are a
measure of the progress that the student is making in school and how well our school is doing in educating our
students. For a student to be prepared to do well on these assessments, they must work in all of their classes during the
school year. At Central, all classes including electives help students prepare for these assessments. It is essential that
students are rested and eat a healthy meal before they take the assessment. Attendance on the days of assessments is
extremely important, as students will be pulled from class to make up missed assessments.
CMAS: For the 2015/16 school year all 9th grade students will be required by Colorado State Law to take the CMAS. CMAS is the Colorado Measure of Academic Success. 9th grade students are required to take the math and language arts assessments during the spring semester. An additional measure for science or social studies may be administered to other grades.
Aspire Test: All 10th grade students take this norm-referenced test in the fall. The test is a precursor to the ACT and is designed to help prepare students for their high school course work and post high school choices. It is important for students’ future academic and career success. The Aspire test gives educators the means to structure high school planning and career exploration for students and parents and serves as a baseline to monitor academic progress. Student strengths and weaknesses can be identified so that they can establish a program of study that will help them achieve their career and educational goals.
ACT Test: All 11th graders take the ACT in the spring. Many colleges require or recommend that student submit test results as part of the admission application process. The ACT measures current levels of educational development in the subjects of English, Mathematics, Reading and Science reasoning and is reported to the state as additional means of assessing our students and our school’s academic performance.

Activities and Athletics
Co-Curricular activities are a vital part of a Wildcat’s education. It is our belief that students who participate in co-curricular activities receive a well-rounded education. These activities expand on what is learned in the classroom. Respect, teamwork, sportsmanship and developing a positive attitude towards school are some advantages of participating in co-curricular activities. Please encourage your son or daughter to get involved at Greeley Central High School.
The purpose of co-curricular activities is both educational and recreations. The programs at Greeley Central encourage participation by as many students as possible and are carried on with interest of the participant as the first consideration.

Activity Office. See the Activities Office for the appropriate forms. These forms are to be submitted at the fall,
winter and/or spring sports orientation nights for parents.
Sportsmanship
Sportsmanship is a very important aspect of athletics. We encourage all athletes, as well as all spectators, to show
good sportsmanship at all athletic events. Parents can show the appreciation for our athletes by cheering for the
Wildcat teams and not against the opponent. Praise and encouragement for all athletes is very important. Showing
good sportsmanship involves allowing the officials to officiate, coaches to coach, and players to play.
Eligibility
Your student’s participation in high school activities and club leadership is dependent upon his/her eligibility:
►Academic Eligibility- Students must pass 5 classes per semester to play the next semester. They also will be
responsible to pass five classes each week or they will be ineligible to play the following week or until they
regain passing grades at the next grade check.
►Outside competition- An athlete involved in Central athletics programs cannot participate in that same sport
for another organization during the sports season unless they obtain direct permission from the AD.
►Practice policy- a total of nine days are required before participating in an interscholastic game or scrimmage
prior to the fall sport season (except golf, softball, and tennis) and five practices for winter and spring sports.
Athletics and music are governed by District 6 and the Colorado High School Activities Association (CHSAA)

District Six Attendance Policy
24 hour Attendance Phone Line = 348-5014
Although the school is committed to communicating with the home when attendance problems arise, school
attendance is primarily the responsibility of the parents or guardians. Significant learning for all students is provided
each time class is held. This educational opportunity is provided as a result of in-class participation and high-quality
instruction. As a result, the benefits of this experience cannot fully be replaced and absences are detrimental to student
learning.
Excused Absences
An excused absence is defined as any absence from school due to temporary illness or injury and any other reason deemed acceptable by the school administrator. Parents are requested to call the school prior to 12:00 p.m., on the day of the absence, or contact the school no later than 24 hours after the absence has occurred. Absences will only be “excused” by the school according to the guidelines for excused absences. Excused absences include but are not limited to absences caused by:
Temporary illness or injury Prearranged absence approved by an administrator (Approval for a pre-arranged absences may necessitate a
parent conference) Extended absences due to physical, mental or emotional disability (medical documentation may be required) A work-study program under the supervision of the school A school-sponsored activity Extremely inclement weather Emergency, serious illness or death in the family Participation in religious observances Any absence which occurs when the student is required to be in court or in the custody of the court or law
enforcement authorities Suspension (suspension is an official action which removes a student from class and/or school temporarily
following due process). Suspensions will not be considered excused for court purposes.
** A student will be limited to four excused absences in a month or ten excused absences in year. At this point, the
school shall either require a meeting or other form of communication between the student’s parent/guardian and
appropriate school personnel to review and evaluate the reasons for the student being habitually absent from
school. A plan may be developed for the student with the goal of assisting the student to remain in school. The
district may require suitable proof regarding the above exceptions, including written statements from medical
sources.
Unexcused Absences An unexcused absence is defined as an absence that is not covered by one of the foregoing exceptions. Additionally, an
unexcused absence shall be recorded if a student leaves a class without permission of the teacher or school
administrator. Each unexcused absence shall be entered on the student’s record and will be published on progress
reports and final report cards. Attempts shall be made by the school staff to notify the parents or guardians of the
student receiving the unexcused absence. Such attempts are through a computer-generated phone call making it
imperative to have an accurate phone number on file with the school.
If, after parent contact, attendance does not improve, the school will make use of a variety of available resources to
respond to continued student absence. This includes parent conference, counseling, detentions, and other options
deemed appropriate by the school. When the district is aware that criteria exist to designate a student as habitually
truant, the district shall refer the students and his or her parent/guardian to the Weld
County Judicial System, the Weld County Juvenile Assessment Center and/or the Weld County District
Attorney’s Juvenile Diversion Unit. The maximum number of unexcused absences a student may incur before judicial
proceedings are initiated to enforce compulsory attendance is 10 during any calendar year or school year.
P a g e | 13
Make-up work
Make-up work shall be provided for any class in which a student has an excused absence unless otherwise determined
by the building administrator. It is the responsibility of the student to pick up any make-up assignments permitted on
the day returning to class. There shall be two days allowed for make-up work for each day of absence. Make-up work
shall be allowed following an unexcused absence with the goal of providing the student an opportunity to keep up with
the class and an incentive to attend school. However, this work will receive only partial credit, which is the
consequence for an unexcused absence.
Tardiness
Tardiness is defined as the appearance of a student without proper excuse after the scheduled time that a class begins. Students coming into class tardy constitute a major disruption of the educational process not only for themselves but for other students in the class. Students who are tardy are subject to behavioral consequences per the student handbook. Students who are more than 5 minutes late will be marked unexcused absent.
Behavior Expectations and Procedures
The purpose of Greeley Central High School is to prepare our students to be successful and productive in their future.
In order for students to meet the challenges that they face in the future, the development of respect, responsibility and
restraint is essential. To educate students for the future we must have a school that is safe, where teachers can teach
and students can learn. To this end, it is important that parents, school staff, and students work together to maintain a
positive educational atmosphere. The rules, policies and procedures in District #6 and Central have been established
for the protection of students. Students are expected to respect the rules and the people responsible for enforcing them.
Parental support in establishing a safe productive environment is essential and is greatly appreciated by the faculty and
staff.
If a student’s behavior compromises the safety of our school or the teacher’s ability to teach all students, parents will
be required to meet with the student’s teachers and building administration to develop a plan for their student to be
successful.
Student Conduct Students may be disciplined in accordance with building procedures for acts in violation of “The Student Code Of Conduct” and for acts that are detrimental to the health, welfare, safety, or morals of other students or of District employees and for any acts that prevent other students from learning in an atmosphere that is safe, conducive to the learning process, and free from unnecessary disruption. When subject to discipline, students are entitled to reasonable due process, which may vary according to the circumstances. (See attached – “Consequences for Inappropriate Behavior” Discipline Matrix). As before mentioned, student discipline will be handled by the grade level administrator.
Behavioral Expectations and Positive Behavior Support Greeley Central is committed to providing students with a school that provides clear expectations for student
behavior. These behaviors will be taught formally to 9th grade students in their Career and Life Choices classes. Also
students will receive a refresher on behavioral expectations during grade level class meetings.
Students will receive recognition for upholding the Wildcat Way (our behavioral expectations) by receiving a
WildCard. WildCards may be turned into the office to enter the student in a weekly drawing for prizes from area
businesses.

Dress Code
Basic Premise: Students will dress and groom themselves in a manner that promotes cleanliness, health, and safety. At no time will student dress serve as a distraction to the learning environment in our school. Weld County School District #6 has established a Non-Negotiable Student Dress Code for all students within the District and it is the “Dress Code” enforced at Greeley Central High School.
1. Any clothing item or accessory that causes a disruption to school safety, personal safety and/or the learning environment may result in discretionary intervention by school administrators.
2. Tattoos, clothing or accessories that display drugs, sexual innuendos, inappropriate language, alcohol, tobacco products or gang connotations are not permitted. Tattoos displaying any of these must be covered at all times.
3. No hats permitted inside of the school building during the school day. If “hoodies” are worn, the hood may not be worn inside of the school (religious headwear exceptions).
4. Sunglasses or dark glasses, absent a verified medical condition, are not to be worn or displayed inside of the school building.
5. Trench coats are not permitted anywhere on school property. 6. Soled shoes or sandals must be worn at all times (for example, no “bedroom” slippers or similar footwear). 7. No exposed undergarments, inappropriately sheer, tight or low cut clothing that bare or expose traditionally
private parts of the body including, but not limited to, the stomach, buttocks, back, breasts or cleavage is not permitted.
8. No shaved or notched eyebrows (absent a verified medical condition). 9. No red or blue unnatural hair color, belts or shoelaces. 10. No red or blue belts or shoelaces. 11. No team jerseys or belt buckles that display the numbers 13, 14, 18, 31, 41 or 81. 12. No solid red or solid blue shirts (other than designated school uniforms). 13. No red or blue “Dickies” or “Southpole” brand pants, shorts or shirts. 14. No red or blue bandana or any color bandana that is draped on clothing or hanging out of a pocket.

Consequences For Infractions Of The Dress Code
1ST Offense – Student will be immediately referred to the office where he or she will be required to surrender the
inappropriate dress in exchange for a temporary replacement. A parent or guardian will be contacted and may come to
pick up the clothing at the end of the school day. A referral will be place in file. Refusal to change will result in suspension.
Inappropriate dress can also be considered gang-related activity.
Offenses thereafter- Subsequent offenses will result in suspension and a step on the habitually disruptive pyramid.
Other Important Information
Address Change/Pupil Database
All students changing their address, phone number or emergency information MUST report this to the Counseling
Office. This is necessary and very important so that the school records are accurate and up-to-date.
Cell Phones and Other Electronic Devices Cell phones and other electronic devices are not to be used during instructional times; therefore, they should never be visible in a classroom or other academic areas when class is in session. Such devices should be turned off and put away before entering a classroom. If this policy is violated, the device shall be confiscated and a parent/guardian will be required to pick it up from the grade level administrator in the Main Office. A second offense will result in a 1-day suspension. Every offense thereafter will result in additional suspensions and a possible step on the discipline pyramid.
Please note: the school is not responsible for electronic devices (including phones) that are lost or stolen, so we encourage students
not to bring them at all. As a result, we will NOT interrupt academic time to perform classroom searches.
Counseling Services
There are four full-time counselors at Greeley Central High School who are dedicated to enhancing the success and
well-being of every student. Mrs. Cranson works exclusively with 9th grade students. The other counselors work with
the remaining students. All 10th grade students are automatically assigned, however they do have the discretion to
request a specific counselor to work with throughout the remainder of their high school careers at Greeley Central
High School.
Services Offered o Student Progress Reports o Test Interpretations o Arrange and facilitate student/parent/teacher meetings o Facilitate parent/student communication o Small and large group counseling sessions o Scholarship and college application
Making Appointments o Counselors are oftentimes unable to accommodate walk-in visits. Therefore, we request that parents
and students sign up for an appointment with Ms. Endres in the counseling office.
Schedule Changes Student schedule changes must be made within the first two weeks of the semester and will not be done
without parent contact. Changes will only be made to a student schedule in the following situations:
o If two classes are scheduled for the same block o If only one semester of a yearlong class is scheduled o If you have not met a pre-requisite o If you are a senior and do not have a class needed for graduation o If you would like to change a core class to or from an honors or AP level o If you do not have a full schedule o If you are scheduled for the same class twice or enrolled in a class you have already passed
P a g e | 16
Nurses Office
Our nursing services are available to promote student health and assist students who are ill or injured. The Nurse’s
office is open daily from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Illness or injury should be reported immediately to the school nurse.
Medication in School o Medicine will be given only as the prescription or directions state. o It is the responsibility of the child to request the medicine from the school Registered Nurse or other
designated person in the school. When indicated, the school staff will assist in the procedure. o It is the responsibility of the School Registered Nurse to make the medicine available to the student or
delegate the task to another staff member who has the appropriate training for the responsibility. o Written authorizations are not valid after the expired date or after the current school year.
Prescription o A written note from a parent must state the exact dates and time of day the medicine is to be available
to the student. o School personnel will require a written authorization from the student’s physician. o The container must be provided by the parent/guardian in an individual pharmacy labeled bottle for
the student to receive it. o Medication will be given as directed on the pharmacy label.
Immunizations A change in the Colorado Immunization Law requires that all students provide proof of immunizations in
order to register or continue in school after July 1, 1997. In addition, students who provide a certificate of
immunization from a licensed physician or authorized representative of the department of public health and
environment which is not up-to-date according to the requirements, shall provide the school within 14 days
documentation of the next required vaccine that has been given and a written plan for completion of all
required immunizations. Students who are not certified, not in process, or not exempt shall be denied
attendance in accordance with the law. Exemptions from immunizations include medical, religious, or
personal reasons.
In the event of an outbreak of a disease against which immunization is required, non-exemption or exception from
immunization shall be recognized and exempted persons will be subject to exclusion from school and quarantine.
Off-Campus Lunch Pass
Greeley Central has a closed campus during the lunch period. This means that in order for a student to leave campus
during the lunch hour, he/she must have a ‘lunch pass.’ This can be obtained by having a parent/guardian sign a form
to give permission for the student to leave campus. Lunch passes will be checked every time a student leaves campus
at lunch. If a student forgets their Lunch Pass, they will not be allowed to leave campus unless there is a direct contact
with a parent giving permission to leave. Lunch Passes are in effect for one school year or until a parent revokes the
pass.
Parking
Parking in a lot at Greeley Central is a privilege. Parking for all students is provided in the West lots. The North
parking lot near the offices is reserved for staff and visitors.
School Closure Due to Weather
A school closure due to weather is possible in Colorado. If schools are to be closed, the decision will be made by 6:30
a.m. The announcement will be made on KFKA 1310 AM as well as the District website (www.greeleyschools.org) and
the District 6 Facebook page.
P a g e | 17
School/Physical Education Lockers
Lockers will be available to all students who wish to have one. A combination lock will be assigned to each locker.
Only school assigned locks will be allowed on a school locker. Each student is responsible for getting an assigned
locker and keeping the locker locked at all times. All lockers are the property of the school and subject to search by an
authorized school representative for the protection of all students at GCHS. Lockers are the property of the school and
any damage or clean up required will be charged to the student. The school is not responsible for articles lost or stolen
from any locker on campus.
Transportation
Parents expect safe, efficient bus service. However, it remains the student’s responsibility to extend full cooperation in
seeing that he/she obeys the bus regulations as established by the driver. The student must practice all recommended
safety procedures. Bus students who willfully violate the established policies may lose the privilege of bus
transportation and the school may take further disciplinary action. Parents with transportation questions should
contact: District Bus Stops 348-6800 City Bus Stops 350-9BUS
Visitors
Visiting Parents- We encourage parents to visit Greeley Central High School. We ask that you stop at the Main Office before you go to your student’s class, sign in and get a visitor’s pass. This helps us to continue to provide a safe environment for all students. Meetings with administrators need to be set up prior to meeting with the administrator.
Student Visitors- Students are not allowed to bring visitors, other than their parents, to school.
Withdrawal from School
A parent or guardian must contact the school in person at least two days prior to the student’s last day. They are to
report to the Counseling Office to sign a Withdrawal Form and provide any forwarding information. The student will
take the form to each of his/her teachers, the librarian, the Main Office, and the Counseling Office to be signed. The
student will receive a copy of the Withdrawal Form to take with them to their next school. All academic information
from District #6 will be mailed to the new school when Central receives a release of information.

Health Services information for
STUDENT/PARENT HANDBOOK Health Services - Who are we?
For Health Service forms and information please see the District 6 Health Services Website. http://www.greeleyschools.org/Page/8187

District 6 has School Health Clerks who are the main care-givers in health offices in all district and charter schools. They perform first aid and care for ill children, administer medications, perform health screenings, manage immunization and health records. They are available to answer questions and are able to contact School Registered Nurse Consultant at all times. Health Clerks have taken a health clerk training course and have yearly CPR, First Aid, Medication Administration, and other trainings as needed for specific student health needs.
District 6 has School Registered Nurse Consultants who work as a team with health clerks, school administration and staff to provide physical, mental, and social support to help children learn. School Registered Nurse Consultants are trained with an RN-BSN and have obtained School Nurse licensure through CDE. School Nurses are responsible for preparing health care plans, documenting health histories, collaborating with special education team on educational plans, delegating to unlicensed personnel who provide care for students, assisting with health education units, consulting with outside health providers and agencies.
Illness/Injury, Emergency Information
Accidents/Illness/Injury –

parent/guardians will be contacted and in extreme cases, 911 may be called.
Emergency information – PLEASE KEEP EMERGENCY CONTACT INFORMATION UPDATED WITH THE FRONT OFFICE STAFF. We need to be able to contact you if your child is ill or injured.
Medications
If your child must have medication of any type during school, including prescription or over-the-counter medicine
(pills, syrups, cough drops, eye drops, creams, ointments, inhalers, injectable), you have three choices:
o Parents/Guardians may come to school and give it to their child at the appropriate time.
o Parents/Guardians and health care providers may complete and sign a physician authorization form. The
medication must be in a pharmacy-labeled bottle or original packaging with instructions.
o Parents/Guardians may discuss with their health care provider an alternative schedule so the medication
can be given outside of school hours.
Medications of any sort (over the counter or prescription) are not to be in the possession of students, except for
those with written authorization from their health care provider, their family and school registered nurse consultant.
If your child will need any medication or treatment at school, please obtain a copy of the physician authorization
form from the health office or download from health services website http://www.greeleyschools.org/Page/8187.
Health Questionnaire / Students with Health Concerns
Health questionnaires - It is extremely important that parents/guardians complete the annual health questionnaire and Emergency Information form.
Students with known health concerns – School Registered Nurse Consultants write Health Care Plans (HCP) for students that require specific procedures at school.
All students who have diabetes, seizures, severe allergies, severe asthma or who have any medication (prescription or over the counter) in school should have a HCP. Other disorders may also have specific precautions which would require a HCP. PLEASE contact the school Health Clerk or School Nurse if you have concerns about your child’s health. Students with Severe Asthma, Severe Allergies, Seizure Disorder or Diabetes – forms are available from
health office or on health services website for physician completion http://www.greeleyschools.org/Page/8187.

Immunizations
Immunizations are an important part of our children’s health care and Colorado Law requires that children going to school be vaccinated to prevent vaccine-preventable disease. Students are not permitted to attend school without meeting immunization requirements or having a signed personal, medical, or religious exemption.
If parents have concerns about immunizations and vaccine safety, visit www.ImmunizeForGood.com . The Colorado Immunization Program’s website is located at www.ColoradoImmunizations.com.
Schools work hard to ensure compliance with the immunization laws. Your help in providing updated immunization records at school registration and when your child receives additional vaccine(s) is greatly appreciated.
Screenings
Hearing and vision screenings are conducted annually by health services staff including District Audiologist. The
following grades are screened: Pre-K, K, 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, and 9, all new students, and students with special education
needs – per the State of Colorado guidelines.
Glasses when prescribed by an eye care professional are extremely crucial to student success. Please make sure
students wear them daily at school.
Students who do not pass vision screening will receive a “referral” for follow-up care. Students who do not pass
hearing screening will continue to be monitored by school audiologist.
Loaned Clothing
The health office has a limited supply of extra clothing for accidents. Please wash and return these clothes at your earliest convenience.
Parent Health Resources
Health office staff are happy to assist parents in finding health information and access to health care. School Wellness
Research shows that children perform better in school when they eat healthy and are physically active. To support
academic achievement and healthy living, District 6 offers exciting wellness opportunities for both students and
employees. Please visit www.greeleyschools.org/wellness.
