Over the past decade, the Concord School District has made remarkable progress in expanding concurrent education opportunities. Students now have the ability to take college-level courses that count toward both their high school diploma and future college degree. This not only strengthens their academic foundation but also provides significant financial savings for families as they prepare for higher education.

Congratulations to our August Students of the Month! 💜💛It's a Great Year for a Great Year!💜💛

For this week's Freshen Up Friday, Mrs. Baker's Food Safety and Nutrition class used their growing knowledge of cleaning and sanitizing to deep clean and prep the concession stand so that it is ready to stock for basketball season. Coach Richey was kind enough to share snacks with us, thanks Coach!!

Our 3rd graders are diving into science in a fun, interactive way! Today, they completed an online drag-and-drop labeling activity where they explored different types of forces. Students identified whether each object involved a push or pull, and whether the force was touching or non-touching. It was a great hands-on (and minds-on!) way to reinforce key concepts while building digital skills. 💜💛 It's A Great Year for A Great Year!

Our fourth graders have been diving into the world of energy and how it changes forms! This week, they explored circuits to see what happens when different pieces are disconnected or switched out. Lots of curiosity, hands-on learning. 💜💛 It's A Great Year for A Great Year!

Second grade has had an exceptional week!  We have completed our state’s Atlas screeners, started spelling test, attended the NED show, created simple machine in science and tackled even and odd number in math!! We are all looking forward to a long weekend and the Fair Field trip next week!  It's a Great Year for a Great Year💜💛

CHS has recently implemented DEAR (Drop Everything And Read) time into our district. On Wednesdays, we invite our entire school community—students, teachers, and staff—to Drop Everything And Read. For just 10 minutes each Wednesday, we’ll pause our regular routine for silent, sustained reading. This initiative promotes literacy, builds a culture of reading, and encourages everyone to discover the joy of a good book. Our students have been actively moving through the library, checking out books, and are already requesting more DEAR time than we originally allotted. This means we need more books to offer to them. What we are asking from our community members and stakeholders is for book donations. Our goal is to see a book bin in each teacher's classroom to encourage students to read in their free time. We will be accepting donations of high school-appropriate books at both the high school library and the elementary school library.

📚 READERS = LEADERS 🏆

NED’s Resiliency Ride came to Concord Elementary today! Our students enjoyed an uplifting program focused on Never giving up, Encouraging others, and Doing your best. It was an inspiring afternoon of learning and fun for all our elementary students! 💛💜

Come join us tonight if your student is currently enrolled in a college class through UACCB OR ASUB.

Some active learning in GT this week. Let the boat building begin!!

First grade worked hard this week on being SUPER CITIZENS and on their spelling words using their new LCD boards! 💜💛 It's A Great Year for a Great Year!
