On Wedensday, October 12th, all 11th grade students as well as select 9th and 10th grade students within particular programs will be taking the PSAT/NMSQT assessment. This test at the 11th grade level is the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying exam and is also a good way to practice for the SAT/PSAT assessments in the Spring.
All other 9th and 10th grade students will be performing a mock exam of the PSAT 9 or PSAT 10. Teachers will be using this information to help students prepare for testing in April.
Seniors will also have various sessions to attend in preparation for work, career, or college. Seniors who have not yet met the graduation competency requirements in Math and/or English will be taking the WorkKeys test. Those students scoring at the Bronze level will have met this important graduation requirement.
Please help students arrive to school on time for this day. All students need to be in their assigned classroom by 8:10am. Students can see where they have been assigned by looking at their schedules in IC on Wednesday morning.

Infinite Campus - communication of student behaviors
Each week, teachers will be using a tool in IC to communicate how students are meeting expectations around classroom behaviors. It is important that students demonstrate positive classroom behaviors in order to create the best learning environment possible. These classroom behaviors or work habits are NOT calculated into a student's grade and are NOT part of eligibility, but can impact a student's success in the classroom. Below are the expectations for student behavior around social conduct. Click here to learn more.
Please join us for FAFSA Night!

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
