FAQs

Below please find a list of commonly asked questions and their answers:

Who should I contact if my son or daughter needs a copy of their transcript sent to a college or summer program?
If you would like to have your transcript sent to any colleges, please follow the directions for requesting your transcript under "Naviance Student." If you would like your transcript sent to any other program/schools please contact Mrs. McMahon, the registrar, at either Mamcmahon@chappaquaschools.org or 238-7201 x3.

If I have a question about my child’s attendance who should I call?
Ms. LoBreglio works in the attendance office and her phone number is 238-7201 x2131. Also, your child’s Assistant Principal is in charge of overseeing their attendance.

My child will not be in school today because they are sick. How will they get their homework assignments and find out what they missed in class?
If your son or daughter is out sick and misses a day or two of school, please have them check the Canvas to update them on what was missed in class. They can also call a classmate or e-mail the teacher directly. Students that will miss more than three days of school in a row should contact their counselor to make alternative arrangements.

My son or daughter wants to attend a college visit. Is this an excused absence?
College visits for juniors and seniors are excused absences as long as the number of visits does not exceed four days in a school year. If you do have one planned, you must call the attendance office to let them know that your son or daughter will not be in school that day. The student is responsible for making up all missed work.

I understand counselors meet with each student and their family. When do these meetings take place?
Counselors meet with their students and their parents/guardians once a year at the following times:

Freshmen: October & November
Sophomores: May & June
Juniors: February – April
Seniors: September & October

How do students meet with their counselors?
We encourage students to see their counselors throughout the school year. Students can schedule appointments during their free periods with the counseling department secretaries. Counselors monitor student progress and will also reach out to students at various times throughout the year.

I have questions about my son or daughter's most recent grade in a given class. Who should I call?
Encouraging your son or daughter to speak directly with their teacher about any questions or concerns they have is a great first step. By doing this, you are supporting your son or daughter's move toward self-advocacy. If after they speak to the teacher you still have questions or concerns, please e-mail or call the teacher directly to speak with them. If you are concerned about issues in several different classes please call your son or daughter's counselor to share your concerns.

How are grades calculated?
Please click here for the Greeley grading system

When is my child’s GPA recalculated?
Grade point averages are recalculated once courses are completed at the end of the first semester and again when courses are completed in June.

What are the other supports at Greeley?
In addition to the 8 school counselors, the counseling department also includes 3 psychologists, a social worker and a student assistance counselor.
