Greeley Central High School Parent Handbook
Our administrative team and staff welcome you to this place we call “The Castle” and to the 2010-2011 school
year. This handbook has been designed to acquaint you with important information about Greeley Central. We
remind you that the success one expects to achieve from his or her high school experience is directly related to
the amount of effort that is put forth by each individual. We hope that this will provide answers to any questions
that you may have throughout the school year. At the beginning of the school year, your student will receive a
Student Handbook. Please review this handbook with your student.

complete work or engage in independent reading. This means there will be no movement from Block 1 or 5 to another location
without pre-arranged teacher-to-teacher contact. We have also imbedded five minutes for daily announcements.
On early release Mondays throughout the year. The GCHS faculty will be involved in professional development activities.
There will be a modified schedule on those days. The dates are listed below and the schedule will be as follows:

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
Parent/Teacher conferences. There are many opportunities for parents. If you are interested in volunteering, please call the
Michelle Vasquez in the Main Office, 348-5000.
Parent/Teacher Conferences
Parent/Teacher Conferences are held four dates per year (two first semester and two 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 you 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 Parent/Teacher
conferences for 2010-2011 are First semester: September 30, 2010 and October 4, 2010; Second semester: February 23, 2011
and February 28, 2011. 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 Internet Viewer at
central.greeleyschools.org. The column on the left hand side under School Resources, you will find the link to the Parent
Portal. Once you get to the Viewer you can read the information or scroll down to “Click here to begin”. You then need to
enter your assigned login and password. (Please contact the Greeley Central High School Main Office for login and temporary
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 can go to your nearest public library and access the Internet from there, or you may visit Greeley Central.
Parent Advisory Council 2010-2011
The Parent Advisory Council (PAC) at Greeley Central meets periodically throughout the year. The meeting dates for the 20102011 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 at 7:00 pm.

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 at 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 (si.greeleyschools.org/campus/portal/greeley.jsp) will help you to monitor your student’s
progress and attendance at school. Call Claudia Gutierrez with questions.
Graduation Requirements
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… 4.0 credits based on plan of study
Science…………..3.0 credits based on plan of study
Social Studies….3.0 credits
 .5 credit of Civics or American
Government
 1 credit of US History
 1.5 credits based on plan of study
Math……..3.0 credits based on plan of study
Elective…7.5 credits based on plan of study
Physical Ed…1.5 credits
 1 credit in Physical Education
 .5 credits in Health
* 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.
Grade Classification
Students will be promoted from one grade level to another based upon the number of credits attained. Below is a breakdown of
the minimum number of credits a student must acquire in order to be promoted to the next grade level.
Sophomore .............................. 6 credits
Junior.................................... 12 credits
Senior.................................... 18 credits
Award Diploma .................... 22 credits
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.
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.
8
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 via their 2nd and 6th block classes. 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 Chemistry
AP Statistics
AP Biology
AP Physics B (1st year)
AP Environmental Science

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.
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.
 CSAP: All 9th and 10th graders are required by Colorado State Law to take the CSAP. Ninth graders are assessed in
math, reading, and writing. Tenth graders are assessed in the areas math, reading, writing, and science. The CSAP is
very important to the student, as it is the foundation of their assessment data in their permanent records. The school’s
performance is also evaluated by the state based on student performance on this assessment.
 PLAN Test: All 10th grade students take this norm-referenced test in October. It is designed to help prepare students
for their high school course work and post high school choices. It is important for student’s future academic and career
success. The PLAN 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 extra-curricular activities is both educational and recreational. 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.

Ms. Vasquez in the Activities Office for appropriate forms. These forms are to be submitted at the fall, winter and/or spring
sports registration.
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 athletic director.
 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.
12
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. In an attempt to limit tardies, tardy tables will be set up at the beginning of each block and any student arriving late to
class will be sent to these tables and assigned a detention. Detentions will be served from 3:05 to 3:45PM after school each day.
While parents may excuse tardies, we do not allow students to be excused from detention. Also, students who are considered
to be habitually tardy will be required to serve detentions regardless of parent excusal.
13
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.
At Greeley Central, our students are expected to:
Commit to…
Act Respectfully
Demonstrate self-control
Use appropriate language
Treat others with kindness
Take Responsibility
Come prepared to learn and participate
Not only be on time, but also use time efficiently
Be a self-advocate
Keep our school clean
Show Pride
Perform at the top of your academic potential
Take ownership of your actions
Participate in and support co-curricular activities
Honor Greeley Central’s rich tradition and history
14
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. 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.
2. 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)
3. Sunglasses or dark glasses, absent a verified medical condition, are not to be worn or displayed inside of the school building
4. Trench coats are not permitted anywhere on school property
5. Soled shoes or sandals must be worn at all times (For example, no “bedroom” slippers or similar footwear)
6. No exposed undergarments
7. 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 belts or shoelaces
10. No team jerseys or belt buckles that display the numbers 13, 14, 18, 31, 41 or 8
11. No solid red or solid blue shirts (Other than designated school uniforms)
12. No red or blue “Dickies” or “Southpole” brand pants, shorts or shirts
13. 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.
15
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

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 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

Nursing Services
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 8:45 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. Illness or injury should be reported immediately to the school nurse.
 Medication in School
o
o
o
o
Medicine will be given only as the prescription or directions state.
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.
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.
Written authorizations are not valid after the expired date or after the current school year.
16
 Prescription
o
o
o
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.
School personnel will require a written authorization from the student’s physician.
The container must be provided by the parent/guardian in an individual pharmacy labeled bottle for the student to
receive it.
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. Such passes are not available for freshmen during the 1 st semester.
Parking
Parking in a lot at Greeley Central is a privilege and available for a fee. Parking for all students is provided in the West lot. The North
parking lot near the offices is reserved for staff and visitors. Please consult the parking handbook for more information.
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.
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.
