We have our back-to-school open house on Monday, August 21st. The flyer below is an advertisement for the event. We are rolling out the red carpet for our families to say thank you for supporting the school while also celebrating the students' return. Date/time of event 8/21/23 5:30-7:30 is the open house and meals and we will have a ribbon cutting on our new playground at 6:30 We believe in designing experiences for our students, so we fundraise or write grants to turn events into celebrating big moments. Returning to school is a big deal, and we want to celebrate our students and their families as we move into a new school year. This year is very exciting for us. Our food service team is outstanding, and they work hard to engage the community and provide incredible food to our students. They will be providing free meals to our families, hosting a free fresh food farmers market, and running a meet the farmer event, so the families will get to meet the farmers that are supporting the event (The Shaded Wagon, Blossom Farms, and Easton Family Farms) The farmers market is funded by the Team Nutrition Grant through MDE. Additionally, we will have our newly expanded preschool program handing out free snow cones. There will be bounce-houses, the students will meet their teachers, AND we will be cutting the ribbon on our brand-new playground and walking path which was funded by the May 2022 Bond. We hope you will come and join the fun!

We are now enrolling for our fall childcare programs- GSRP, tuition preschool, Friday care, and after-school latchkey. Please see the flyer for more information!

Good Afternoon Concord Middle School and High School Families, Concord Schools received grant funding to determine whether or not our community would benefit from our students having access to health care services here at school. An important part of the process is gathering information from our parents, students, staff, and community members. Attached you will find a letter that explains the grant process and provides digital access to a parent questionnaire. We would greatly appreciate your feedback. If at all possible, please read the letter and complete the questionnaire by Wednesday, May 10th. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out. We would also like to administer a survey to our 6th-8th grade students as well as our 9th-12th grade students to gather feedback from them regarding if they believe they would benefit from having access to a School Wellness Program. Attached you will find a letter that serves as notification to our families that we plan to administer the survey on May 10th, 2023. Due to the fact, the survey is asking about physical and mental health we want to provide our parents the opportunity to preview the surveys and opt out their students. You will find the notification letter and PDF versions of the student survey attached. If you would like to opt out your student from the survey, please let Mike Arbuckle or myself know by Tuesday, May 9th, 2023.
