“Reading, Writing, and Communicating; every kid, every class, every day!”
New Programming at CRHS
Online Academy
We have a full time (during the regular school day) online credit recovery program. You may have heard this called
alternative schooling. This is a fantastic opportunity for students who have significant challenges in completing their
traditional high school education. For many, the financial demand placed on them to help support their family doesn’t allow
for regular educational programming. Now we can meet their needs in an academically rigorous environment that allows
them to work towards graduation, and help provide for their family
JUMPSTART
Many of our students arrive from middle school, for their first day of high school, significantly below grade level in reading,
writing, and math. Traditionally, those students are registered into regular classes, which starts them down a path toward
dropping out of school. WELL, NOT ANYMORE!! Using historical data, students have been placed into 2-hour math and 2hour language arts blocks. The first hour consists of remediation, re-teaching, pre-teaching, and skill building. During the
second hour of the block, students are learning the required grade level content and skills for math and language arts.
Cornell Notes
All students are taking Cornell Notes at CRHS. On the list of skills that our students learn in high school, note taking should
certainly be around the top. The ability to read, write, and communicate are critical, but to be an active listener and note taker
virtually ensures that you’ll learn the material at a much higher level than if you don’t/can’t take quality notes.
NWEA MAP
The North West Education Association created the Measurement of Academic Progress universal assessment screener,
which allows us to be better informed about your child’s progress towards mastery of the Colorado Academic Standards.
The screener is considered a “progress monitoring” tool that will show the student, teacher, and parent how the child is
progressing. The screener takes less than one class period to complete, provides immediate feedback on results, is taken 3
times per year, and will give an accurate picture of how your child will most likely perform on the ACT. Currently, this
screener is being piloted through our JumpStart program, so only about 75 CRHS students will be utilizing this tool this year.

Cover Coughs and Sneezes. Clean Hands.
Be a germ stopper at school – and home. Cover your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze. Use a tissue
and throw it away.
Clean your hands a lot
- after you sneeze or cough
- before you eat
- after using the bathroom
- before you touch your eyes, mouth or nose
Washing hands with soap and water is best. Wash long enough to sing the “Happy Birthday” song twice. Or,
use gels or wipes with alcohol in them. This alcohol kills germs!
Stop germs. And stop colds and flu.

Welcome to our new SRO ~ Deputy Worley
Parents and Students,
Hello everyone. I hope you all had a great summer. I wanted to introduce myself to you all as I am a new face at the school.
My name is Deputy Trisha Worley, and I am the new School Resource Officer (SRO) for Coal Ridge High School.
I have served the citizens of Garfield County for the past 5 years as both a Patrol and Detentions Deputy. On top of my
regular duties, I am also currently a Taser Instructor, a Field Training Officer/mentor, a member of our Threat Assessment
Group (TAG), and a member of the Honor Guard. Prior to becoming a Police Officer, I served for 8 years in the United
States Army.
I am so excited to have this opportunity to work with everyone here at Coal Ridge High School. I was born and raised in the
Roaring Fork Valley, and believe that Coal Ridge is one of the best High School’s in the valley. I currently live here with
my husband and our 8 year old son. I am looking forward to the day when our son is old enough to attend this school.
While I am here as the SRO, I strive to provide a safe environment for your sons and daughters while they receive a quality
education. Throughout the year, I will be providing classroom instruction to include drug and alcohol awareness, bully
prevention, search and seizure, decision making, as well as other various topics. I will be working closely with our students
to help provide them with the tools they need to be successful in school as well as at home.
I would also like to take a moment to introduce our anonymous tip box, “The Cop Shop”. “The Cop Shop” was created, and
voted upon by the students, to assist anyone who may have an issue talking with me face to face. “The Cop Shop” offers a
student another way to communicate with me without fear of retribution from their friends or worrying about getting in
trouble themselves. I understand it can sometimes be intimidating to speak with a police officer, and peer pressure usually
doesn’t make it any easier. With the creation of “The Cop Shop” a student can now take a piece of paper, write down their
concerns, alert me to a problem, or ask me a question and put the paper in the secured box hanging outside my office
window. I am the only one that has a key to the box, and the only one that will be checking it. If the student would like for
me to get back to them, they can leave their name on it, otherwise it is completely anonymous. I am hoping that this
program will help me help our students, so please encourage them to use it if they are not comfortable speaking with me
directly.
I am looking forward to spending an amazing, and safe, school year with you all. If there is anything you need, please feel
free to contact me. My door is always open. I look forward to meeting you all.
Thank you,
Trisha Worley

CONCUSSION
CONCUSSION FACTS
• A concussion is a brain injury that affects how your
brain works.
• A concussion is caused by a blow to the head or body:
• from contact with another
being hit by a piece of
player, hitting a hard surface
such as the ground, ice, or
court, or
equipment such as a
lacrosse stick, hockey puck,
or field hockey ball.
A concussion can happen even if you haven't been
knocked unconscious.
If you think you have a concussion, you should
not return to play on the day of the injury and until
a health care professional says you are OK to
return to play.
WHY SHOULD I REPORT MY SYMPTOMS?
A Must Read for
Young Athletes
Let's Take Brain Injuries Out of Play
CONCUSSION SYMPTOMS
• Concussion symptoms differ with each person and with each
injury, and may not be noticeable for hours or days. Common
symptoms include:
• Feeling irritable, more
Headache
Confusion
emotional, or "down"
• Nausea or vomiting
Difficulty remembering or
• Bothered by light
paying attention
or noise
Balance problems
• Double or blurry vision
or dizziness
• Slowed reaction time
Feeling sluggish, hazy,
• Sleep problems
foggy, or groggy
• Loss of consciousness
During recover)', exercising or activities that involve a let of concentration
(sudi as studying, waking on the computer, or playing video games) may
cause concussion symptoms to reappear or get worse.
Unlike with some other injuries, playing or practicing with concussion symptoms is dangerous and can lead to a longer
recovery and a delay in your return to play.
While your brain is still healing, you are much more likely to have another concussion. Repeat concussions can increase the
time it takes for you to recover and the likelihood of long term problems.
In rare cases, repeat concussions in young athletes can result in brain swelling or permanent damage to your brain.
They can even be fatal.
What Should I Do if I Think I Have a Concussion?
DON'T HIDE IT, Ignoring your symptoms and trying to "tough it out" often makes symptoms worse. Tell your coach,
REPORT IT. parent, and athletic trainer if you think you or one of your teammates may have a concussion. Don't let
anyone pressure you into continuing to practice or play with a concussion.
GET CHECKED OUT. Only a health care professional can tell if you have a concussion and when it's OK to return to play.
Sports have injury timeouts and player substitutions so that you can get checked out and the team can
perform at its best. The sooner you get checked out, the sooner you may be able to safely return to play.
TAKE CARE OF A concussion can affect your ability to do schoolwork and other activities. Most athletes with a
YOUR BRAIN, concussion get better and return to sports, but it is important to rest and give your brain time to heal.
A repeat concussion that occurs while your brain is still healing can cause long-term problems that may
change your life forever.
All concussions are serious. Don't hide it, report it. Take time to recover. It's better to miss one game than the whole season.

cPOR QUE DEBO AVISAR QUE TENGO SINTOMAS?
• A diferencia de lo que ocurre con otras lesiones, jugar o practicar deportes cuando se tienen sfntomas de conmoci6n cerebral
es peligroso y puede llevar a una recuperacion mas lenta y a tener que esperar mas tiempo para poder volver a jugar.
• Cuando tu cerebro se esta curando, tienes una mayor probabilidad de sufrir una segunda conmocidn. Las conmociones
repetidas pueden aumentar el tiempo que toma la recuperacion y la probabilidad de que surjan problemas a largo plazo.
• En casos poco frecuentes, las conmociones cerebrales repetidas en los atletas pueden ocasionar inflamacion del cerebro o
dano cerebral permanente. Incluso pueden ser mortales.
&Que debo hacer si creo que he sufrido una conmocion cerebral?
NO LAS OCULTES, Ignorar los sfntomas y tratar de "hacerse el fuerte" por lo general los empeora. Notiffcale a tu entrenador, tus padres o a

CUIDA TU CEREBRO. Una conmocion cerebral puede afectar tu capacidad para realizar actividades escolares y de otro tipo. La mayoria de
los atletas que sufren una conmoci6n cerebral se mejoran y vuelven a jugar, pero es importante descansar y esperar
un tiempo para que el cerebro se recupere. Una segunda conmocion cerebral que ocurre cuando el cerebro esta
curandose puede causar problemas a largo plazo y cambiarte la vida para siempre.
Todas !ss conmociones cerebrales son graves. No las ocultes, notiffcalas. Tomate tiempo para recuperarte. Es preferible perderte un juego que toda la temporada.
