District 6 implements new visitor, volunteer program
The Greeley-Evans School District 6 Board of Education has adopted new visitor and volunteer policies in an effort to improve safety at all District 6 schools.
Using money secured through the 2017 Mill Levy Override Election, District 6 has purchased a new visitor and volunteer management system through Raptor Technologies. As of August 20, 2018, the first day of school, all visitors to any non-charter District 6 school will need to present a form of identification at the front office in order to visit with your student. Volunteers will also need to present identification to log into the school at which they are serving.
“We know the importance of knowing and managing who has access to our schools at all times,” said Superintendent Dr. Deirdre Pilch. “This system gives us the tool to do that more effectively and efficiently, and to help keep our students and staff safe.”
Forms of identification that are accepted include a state driver’s license, a state ID, a military ID, a Mexican consulate ID and a passport. Once the ID is scanned and the identification of the visitor is verified, a visitor or volunteer badge will be printed out and must be worn while the entire time a person is in the school. Visitors and volunteers must also sign out at the office before they leave.
The new system improves security at District 6 schools in several ways. All visitors will have their information scanned against the National Sex Offender Registry. If any visitor is listed on this registry, they will not be allowed unsupervised access to any school, and may be banned from the school in accordance with a new visitor policy.
In addition, the background check performed on volunteers is more robust than the previous volunteer management system, and will help keep serious criminal offenders from volunteering in classrooms and schools.
Finally, this system will allow District 6 officials to know and manage who is in schools at any given time. It will help emergency personnel to account for all people who might be in a school should the site need to be evacuated for any emergency.
To register as a volunteer in District 6, visit www.greeleyschools.org/getinvolved. To read the visitor and volunteer policies, visit www.greeleyschools.org/domain/3490 and click on Policy Manual.

Welcome Letter from the Principal
Welcome to Meeker Elementary School! Meeker is a wonderful place for your child to learn and grow! At Meeker we believe together, achieving excellence for all students is "pawssible”. Blended Learning is a method we use in all of our classrooms to engage and personalize learning for our students. I invite you to stop by and introduce yourself or to share any questions or concerns that you may have in regards to your child at any time.I have been an educator for 37 years and it has been an incredible journey for me! Eight years ago I decided to move into administration and became the assistant principal at Meeker for two of those years. I have enjoyed my sixth year as the building principal at Meeker and appreciate leading the learning at Meeker. Prior to coming to the Greeley-Evans School District, I was an instructional coach, a third grade teacher, and a special education teacher in the Thompson School District. My first twenty-three years of teaching were in Northwestern Minnesota in three different districts as an elementary teacher and an elementary and high school special education teacher.I am a wife and mother of six children and a grandmother of two. My husband is Daryl, and he is a CPA who is self-employed. My children are Brent (36), Bryce (34), Kally Jo (32), Kathryn (27) Braden (25) and Blake (22). Brent is self-employed as an IT consultant, Bryce is a stock investor, Kally Jo has her doctorate in Law Psychology and works from home for Arapahoe County Judicial System, Kathryn is in her fourth year as a medical student at Rocky Mountain Vista in Parker, Braden is a business and financial analyst at Woodwards in Fort Collins, and Blake is a financial planner working for Charles Schwab in Fort Worth Texas. My oldest grandson, Aiden, is three and a half years old and my second grandson, Alex, is 21 months old. I love spending time with them as they remind me to enjoy all the little things in life and how important it is to have fun and to laugh.
Family and education are my priorities. I believe that all children deserve the best possible learning environment to allow them to succeed and grow as a student and as an individual. As a building leader it is imperative that instruction is based upon student data to ensure all needs are being met and that the best strategies are being used in the classroom. Along with student safety, being in the classrooms to support teachers and students is a priority.Thank you for sending your child to school each and every day on time and prepared to learn. I look forward to working with you to ensure your child achieves excellence at Meeker!Cathy NelsonPrincipal -
