Parking at G­CHS

You are receiving this information as a result of some recent issues concerning parking in
restricted areas at Greenfield­Central High School. All visitors to the high school are to park in a
marked parking spot on our campus. There are almost 900 parking spaces available for use at
any one time. There are also more than 20 handicapped accessible spots.

The concern that has been raised is that some of our patrons are parking in restricted areas.
Those restricted areas include:
     1. Any grassy area on our property.
     2. Along the edge of any lot or drive on our property. Parking along the bollards is also
        restricted.
     3. The area around the buildings on the practice football fields, softball, baseball and the
        soccer fields.
     4. The asphalt walking paths are NOT to be used as vehicle access to specific areas on
        our campus.
     5. The concrete sidewalks on the north side of the pavilion.
     6. Any area marked with a ‘NO PARKING’ sign.
Parking in any of the restricted areas may prevent emergency vehicles for access an area in the
event of an emergency. We have also had some near­miss accidents where cars are trying to
exit and/or enter school property. We reserve the right to tow any vehicle left in a restricted area
if the owner cannot be located.

Please encourage students to come to Learning Lab for homework help, any subject! We will begin
today after school in the Cougar Cafe. We will be there every Tuesday and Thursday from 3:30­4:30.
This is a great resource that not enough students take advantage of. So the students that are there get
a lot of one on one help.

Are you a student who is interested in studying abroad? Do you dream of living in another
country?

Rotary Club District 6560 (central IN) is looking for students to sponsor as Outbound
exchange students through the Rotary Youth Exchange (RYE) program for the 2016-17
school year. This year, we have the ability to send out 10 students on exchange.

RYE is for students ages 16-17, typically sophomores applying for their junior year abroad.
It is a full academic year in another country. Students will live in a host home and attend a
local high school. It is the best program of its kind and one of the least expensive exchange
programs available.

An information night for RYE will be held at the Carmel High School Community Room on
Thursday, September 10th from 7:00-9:00 PM. This session is for interested students and
their parents to learn more about RYE and whether or not it is the right program for them.
It is not a commitment, just a chance to learn more about the program.
If you are interested in attending Information Night, please send an email to confirm
attendance to Joseph Mitchell, RYE District 6560 Chairman ​  dist6560ryechair@gmail.com
and copy Michael Mack, as well m ​ichael.mack@edwardjones.com​    .
