Happenings at Northridge High School
WIDA testing begins January 17th
WIDA ACCESS testing is upon us. This test measures a student’s English language proficiency and is given once a year to identified students. This test helps teachers understand whether students have the language skills they need to fully participate in the classroom. These scores also help teachers monitor academic progress and decide what support services should be provided.
Testing will begin on January 17th and then continue through the week of February 6th. Students who will be taking the test have been notified by their case managers and a notification has been sent to the families as well via email.
Regular school day activities, bell schedules, and after-school activities are not affected by this testing.

Free Breakfast and Lunch for District 6 Students this School Year
All students in Greeley-Evans School District 6, including students attending charter schools, can access free breakfast and lunch this school year as a result of the District 6 Board of Education’s unanimous vote on Monday, August 8, to fund school meals for the 2022-2023 school year for all students who do not otherwise qualify.
In order to eat for free, parents must complete the Free and Reduced Meal Application, regardless of the family’s income level. The application is available online at https://www.d6schoolfood.org/school-meal-benefits. If you haven’t already, please fill out this application today!
For more than two years, schools nationally have been providing free meals to all students, regardless of income status, as part of the COVID-19 response. However, federal funding for universal free meals ended at the conclusion of the 2021-2022 school year. The District 6 Board voted to allocate up to $2 million from reserves to pay for the universal meal program this school year. The remaining $10 million to fund the student meal program is covered by federal reimbursements through the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The Board of Education voted to use money from the district’s reserves to extend free meals service for all students in anticipation that next year, the District will qualify for the Community Eligibility Provision, which will designate the district as a low-income area and allow free meals to again be provided under the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Districts qualify for Community Eligibility Provision when they reach 40 percent of their students qualifying as low income by utilizing Medicaid services and/or qualifying for state or federal food assistance, such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Because the Medicaid qualification is just being added next year, it is anticipated District 6 will easily qualify for the federal Community Eligibility Provision for the 2023-2024 school year.
Under the COVID-19 free meal program, more students accessed school meals than ever before. For the first time, District 6 served over 3 million meals last year, realizing a 20 percent increase in students eating breakfast and a 40 percent increase in students eating
D6 Council of Student Representatives is hosting a family movie night, January 21st from 4-6PM at Greeley West High School.
Low Income Household Water Assistance Program Is Now Available
District 6 is pleased to welcome volunteers back into our buildings.
