PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCES ON 2/20

We will be holding our 1st Parent Teacher Conference of semester 2 on Thursday, February 20th from 4pm to 8pm. We have changed to having teachers in their individual rooms for these conferences due to basketball conflicts.

Parents and guardians should enter through the West entrance to find teacher locations. We will have report cards for students and infinite campus information for the parent portal.

We will also hold an Advanced Placement (AP) informational meeting the same evening for parents wishing to gain more information on our AP courses. That meeting will be now be held in the GCHS Library.

Also, for our PTC, please see the request below from some of our Central parents:

Greeley Central parents/guardians are taking the reins on providing a dinner for the teachers and staff during the February 20th Parent Teacher Conference. In the past, the school has purchased dinner for the staff and we figured we have enough manpower to provide it, saving several hundred dollars that can be used instead for classroom supplies and other school needs.

Below is the link to a "Sign Up Genius" for the dinner, if you are available to provide any of the items, we would appreciate the help! Also, PLEASE pass this on to any friends you have that have students at Greeley Central. If we spread the word, we can have this filled in no time:

SPRING SPORTS NIGHT - FEB. 24TH

Spring sports night will be held on Monday, February 24th at 6:30pm in the GCHS Library.

Spring sports BEGIN at 3:30pm (right after school) on Monday, March 2nd IF AND ONLY IF the student has been registered (see above) AND cleared by the Athletic/Activities Office. 

Panorama Family Survey February 3rd-28th, 2020

The Panorama Family survey will open February 3rd and run through February 28th.
The Panorama Company will send email messages to all email addresses listed as parent/guardian in Infinite Campus. This means that if both parents are listed in IC, then each parent will each receive the same survey link and information for their student(s). This is a change from prior years.
Each family will get a link for every school they have a child(ren) enrolled. If there is more than one student enrolled in the same school, parents will be instructed via the email communication from Panorama to answer the survey with their oldest student in mind.
The survey can be accessed using a computer, tablet, or smartphone. The survey is offered in 4 languages: English, Spanish, Somali and Arabic.
Greeley Central will have opportunities to complete this survey during our Parent Teacher Conferences on Thursday, February 20th. Please check your email and complete this survey.
If you can’t find your email with this survey link, we will have a generic link located on the Greeley Central homepage for you to use for your Greeley Central student. The link is below as well:

PARENT/GUARDIAN CONTACT INFORMATION

If you are a parent or guardian of a student at Greeley Central (or for that matter, a student at any District 6 school) please make sure you have updated your contact information with your student's current school.

If you have not received phone calls or emails from the District or Greeley Central in a while, there's a good chance that your contact information is incorrect or that your number or email address has blocked incoming calls or emails from our school and District.

In order to provide our parents and guardians with the most up to date information and to contact you in case of emergency, valid contact information is crucial. If you have a new phone number or have moved recently, please contact the school and we will update the information. Please note that you can update email addresses and phone numbers through the Infinite Campus Parent Portal as well. A change of address does require proof of address and must be sumbitted to the school or District office before we can change this.

Thank you in advance for your help.

TUTORING AFTER SCHOOL & SATURDAY SCHOOL

Need some help with a class or two? Need some extra time to get some other homework completed?

Well, you're in luck! Tutoring is available for GCHS students Tuesday-Friday (when school is in session) from 3:30pm-5:00pm in the Library Computer Lab (room 215).

PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE IS NOT TUTORING DURING FINALS WEEK as there is plenty of extra time given during seminar and test prep blocks.

PARKING ISSUES

Please be aware of where you are parking in each of the parking lots. There have been instances where emergency vehicles have needed to access the school and cars have been illegally parked in the lots, making it impossible for these vehicles to get where they need to be.

We realize that with the larger student population this year it is tougher to find available parking spaces. Please remember that in order to keep the flow of traffic through the parking lots, everyone needs to adhere to all parking signs and lines.

With the increased number of illegally parked vehicles this year, from this point on (April 5th, 2019), our School Resource Officers from the Greeley Police Department will be issuing tickets for those cars parked illegally.

NEW STUDENT ADMISSIONS

Students new to District 6 will need to register online through the District 6 Admissions webpage. Please read all required information given on the Admissions page before proceeding to fill out the application.

Click the link below start the registration process:

REGISTER YOUR STUDENT

If your address is not in our school boundary, you must also fill out an open enrollment application on the Admissions page along with registering your student (click the "Register Your Student" link above and then look for the "Open Enrollment" link on that page). At this time, students not in our boundary will be placed on a wait list for Greeley Central, but you must first register AND apply for open enrollment.

FREE & REDUCED LUNCHES

Every year each student who wishes to be considered for free & reduced lunches must have their parent or guardian fill out a new application.

The best method of doing this is online.  Completing your application online takes significantly less time and will facilitate a quicker turnaround time for determining your status.

Please click the link below to take you to this online application:

• https://d6applyformeals.greeleyschools.org/

If you prefer to fill out a paper application you can pick this application up from the main office or go directly to Nutrition Services at the Service Center located at 2504 4th Avenue.  Please note that filling out a paper application does take longer to process and get results.

Please note that students who have not had an application processed by one of the last days in September will have a "paid" status until approximately the end of the first week in October.  After that date, the student's free & reduced status will be revoked, so please don't wait until the last minute to complete this application. Please check with Nutritional Services for all required due dates & information:
