Classified Employees Handbook

Welcome District 6 Classified Staff Members

Whether you have just joined our staff or have been with Greeley-Evans School District 6 for a while, we are confident that you will find a dynamic and rewarding workplace, and we look forward to a productive and dedicated effort toward creating successful student achievement for our community no matter what department you call home.

We consider the employees of our district to be its most valuable resource. This handbook has been written to serve as the guide for the employer/employee relationship. 

There are several things to keep in mind about this handbook. First, it contains only general information and guidelines. It is not intended to be comprehensive or to address all the possible applications of, or exceptions to, the general policies and procedures described. Secondly, the procedures, practices, policies and benefits described here may be modified or discontinued from time to time. We will try to inform you of any changes as they occur. 

You should consult the handbook regularly as a reference guide. Some subjects described in this handbook are covered in detail in official policy documents. Refer to these documents for specific information because the handbook only briefly summarizes those guidelines and benefits. The policy reference is located next to the title in this document.  Please click on the link for more information.  

Contact human resources for questions. Again, welcome to Greeley-Evans School District 6 and we hope you will find this to be the best workplace to spend the rest of your career.

Sincerely,

Deirdre Pilch, Ed.D., Superintendent of Schools and Annette Overton, Assistant Superintendent of HR
