Concord Schools would like to acknowledge and recognize those who were lost and impacted by the events on 9/11. Let us never forget the bravery that was shown on that day.
September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and Concord’s Senior High health students have designed a t-shirt they are currently selling for $13. All proceeds will be donated to Arkansas Children’s Research Institute. Order forms have been sent home with all elementary students and are available at the high school office for all high school students. We will also have a “Go Gold” Day on September 25 to show support and raise awareness for childhood cancer. If you would like to order a shirt, just fill out the order form and send it back to school along with your money. All orders must be returned by the end of school on Monday, September 14.

Thank you
Concord High School: Had a little "hiccup" with the Home Access Center (HAC), but parents are letting us know that it's up and running now. Thanks for your patience.
Concord High School students: This is just a friendly reminder, if you would like to check your schedule before Monday, you can access that schedule through your HAC account. If you can't access your account, every 7th-12th grade student will receive a schedule Monday morning. All 7th-12th grade students will report to the new gym Monday morning. Remember to wear a mask. We will practice social distancing as you arrive. We are so excited to see you!
This is a reminder that the first day of school will be this Monday August 24th. We are excited and ready to see our students! Friendly reminder that all students 3rd grade and above will be required to wear masks on campus when social distancing cannot be achieved. All students, regardless of age, will be required to wear a mask while riding the bus. If your child is exempt from wearing a mask due to one of the governor's exemptions, please provide a note from your PCP to the front office. If your child needs a mask, the school will provide one. Also, students who are car-riders will need to enter through the front of their school buildings so that their temperature can be taken. Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our students and staff safe.
Parents
Concord Schools is required to notify the Arkansas Department of Health when one of our students tests positive for COVID-19. If your child tests positive, you must notify the school so that we can ensure proper procedures are followed on campus. The number to call and report is our helpline number at 501-454-3716. If for some reason you do not get an answer, please email at helpline@concordschools.org
We will need the following information:
Date Symptoms Started
Last Date on Campus
Date Tested
Testing Site Name and Location
Date Test Results Received
Probable Close Contacts (if student or staff at Concord)
This information will help us determine if/when your child can return to school for on-site learning.
Please check your children daily at home for symptoms and please notify the school if they test positive for Covid-19 or if they were in contact with someone that tested positive.
This is a reminder for parents and students interested or have signed up for Concord Virtual Academy. There will be training sessions on both this Wednesday and Thursday in the cafeteria.
