Concord Elementary After School Car Rider Pick-Up Line Changes:
Due to growing concern for the safety of our students, we are asking parents who pick up their children in the car rider line after school to line up in front of the elementary no earlier than 2:45 p.m. each day. If you arrive earlier, you may line up along the road to the baseball and softball fields at the south end of the campus. Students will be dismissed beginning at 3:10 p.m. daily. We will continue to strive to get you through the line as quickly and as safely as possible.
This will take working together and making some adjustments. Please be patient and remember it is in the best interest of our students. In making these adjustments, we ensure parents who need to pick up their child for an appointment have access to the elementary. In the event of an emergency, emergency personnel also need access to the elementary. In the past, the driveway to the elementary has become blocked well before 3 p.m. We greatly appreciate your cooperation in this matter.
Below you will find the meal prices for the upcoming school year. These prices reflect two scenarios. The first is the full price. This is the most that a student would pay for the meal. The second is the reduced price. The third option, not shown, would be free meals. These categories are based off of household income. To see if you qualify, please fill out the cafeteria forms that will be available at Open House on Thursday, August 11th. If you're not able to make it to Open House, forms will be sent home with students on the first day of school.
Join us for our back-to-school open house next Thursday August 11th. This will be a drop-in event that starts at 5:00 PM and ends at 7:00 PM. This is a great opportunity for students and families to visit the school to meet the staff as well as receive their schedules and paperwork. We will also have tables set up in the cafeteria with tons of additional information available. Students who turn in all of their back-to-school paperwork will be entered into a drawing to win a free flat-screen television!
Back-to-School season can be expensive for many families, and we know times are tough right now for many of our families. Therefore, Concord Schools has worked diligently to provide FREE basic school supplies to all of our students K-12th grade for the 2022-2023 school year!
There’s nothing you need to do and no form to fill out. Each grade’s supply list will be fulfilled and delivered to classrooms in time for school to begin this fall.
Backpacks and any personalized items, such as water bottles, will still need to be provided by families.
