The crew has assessed the situation and unfortunately, we have no timeline for when we will have power back on. Therefore, WE WILL DISMISS STUDENTS AT 10:30. The buses will be dropping students off 25-30 minutes earlier than the half-day schedule used last week on Wednesday. If you need to reach the office, please use the numbers below.

We are pleased to inform you that Concord Community Schools will be participating in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) as part of the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs for the School Year 2022-23. The GREAT NEWS is that ALL students enrolled at our school can receive a healthy breakfast and lunch at NO CHARGE to your household each day. In place of the Free and Reduced-Price Meal Application we still need your household to fill out and sign the Household Information Report by clicking the guest link at: https://www.familyportal.cloud/. This report is critical in determining the amount of money that our school receives from a variety of State and Federal supplemental programs like Title I A, At-risk (31a), Title II A, E-Rate, etc. These supplemental programs have the potential to offer support and services for our students including, but not limited to: ● Instructional support (staff, supplies & materials, etc.) ● Non-instructional services (counseling, social work, health services, etc.) ● Professional Learning for staff ● Parent and Community engagement supplies and activities ● Technology We are asking that you please complete and submit it as soon as possible to ensure that additional funding for our school is available to meet the needs of our students. All information on the report submitted is confidential. Without your assistance in completing and returning the attached report, our school cannot maximize the use of available State and Federal funds. If we can be of any further assistance, please contact Alan Breneman at (517) 990-3603. Sincerely, Alan Breneman Food Service Director alan.breneman@concordschools.net
