A New Years Note from Mr. Moeckel

A New Years Note from Mr. Moeckel

I know that I can speak for all the teachers at Concord, when I say we are so excited to welcome back our students. As the old dad joke goes, "I can't believe I haven't seen them since last year."


I sincerely hope that everyone had a wonderful winter break. The Moeckel family spent a ton of time with family. We celebrated birthdays, tried out some new recipes and learned a few new card games! We also ventured out of town to Nashville! We were able to visit the Country Music Hall of Fame, too. My daughter loved the Taylor Swift exhibit, my son enjoyed seeing the Trans Am from Smokey and Bandit, and I came to the realization that I am a fan of country music. (I know, that is a strange place to have such a reckoning.)



Here are a few reminders as we return:


  • School Resumes on Thursday, January 5th


  • Have your children clean out backpacks, lunch boxes, and water bottles???? [We did this last night at my house. My kindergartener's lunch box looked more like a science experiment.]


We are all so excited to welcome all of our Concord Flyers back to school Thursday!

Winter Party Update

Our unexpected snow day canceled our Winter Parties. As a district, the decision has been made that we are not rescheduling these parties. We are SO THANKFUL for all the amazing parents and caregivers that planned activities and crafts. Please feel free send in any thing that you would like the students to have. Teachers will either do them in class or send them home with students. Again, thank you for understanding.

Winter Weather Update for Families

Winter Weather Update for Families

As colder weather approaches, now is a good time to remind families and staff how we prepare for potential school closures that can result from snow, ice, or other severe weather events.


In the event of inclement weather, we will decide to close school based on a number of factors, including student safety, bus transportation, road conditions and wind chill temperature. When possible, the decision to close school is made by 10 p.m. the night before. However, if the decision cannot be made by 10 p.m., then a decision will be made between 5 a.m. and 5:30 a.m. the next morning.


If the decision is made to cancel school, all families and staff will receive a phone call, text message and email notification.
