Where Caring and Learning Go Hand in Hand
Principal's Message
We hope this email finds you healthy and safe. We had another great virtual week at Concord. As our amazing staff continues to get used to our new norm they are finding new and creative ways for our students to interact. We hope our children are doing well and we recognize that this is all new for you as parents as well. If you have not already heard it, you are doing a phenomenal job!!! On top of all the parenting, many of you are working full-time jobs, while also assisting with your child's online learning. We cannot thank you enough! Keep doing what you can and take it easy on yourself. We are all in this together and we will all need to be flexible as we continue to navigate online learning. Please know, we cannot thank you enough for all of your flexibility, understanding, and well wishes. We continue to always be here for you. Do not hesitate to reach out.

Instructional Calendar
Attendance During Online Instruction
Attendance will be reported on a weekly basis. A student in grades K-5 will be considered present when a completed parental verification of attendance is received. The form will be emailed on a weekly basis to parents. For example, a form will be emailed to you on Monday, April 6th to confirm attendance for the week of March 30th to April 3rd. This verification form includes a space for you to indicate a reason for the missed days of “school.”
