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. Training for high school students grades 7-12 will be from 10:00-11:00 and elementary students will be from 11:00-12:00 on both days. You will only need to attend one of the days. We will also use this time to hand out Chromebooks to students who requested. If you have not signed up for CVA, but plan on attending, please go to the district website under "Re-entry Plan" and fill out the form.

Just wanted to let everyone know that we are excited to see all of you Monday night, high school grades 7-12, from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. as a "come and go" open house.

Things to consider....
Teachers reviewing content for virtual courses.
Concord Schools will be providing training sessions for its parents and students who have signed up for Concord Virtual Academy. This will be the time in which Chromebooks will be handed out to those who need them and students will learn how to access the online curriculum. The dates will be August 19th and 20th in the cafeteria. We have scheduled two days to allow for flexibility in schedules. You will only need to attend one day. The times will be 10:00-11:00 for high school and 11:00-12:00 for elementary for both days. We will be limiting the seating to student and one parent/guardian. Parents interested in enrolling their child in CVA can find the link on the District's website within the Re-entry Plan.
Concord Elementary will have its Open House next Tuesday August 11th from 5:00-7:00 PM. We are asking that only the student and one parent/guardian attend this function and everyone wear a mask while adhering to social distancing guidelines. Students will be provided with beginning of the school year paperwork as well as meet their teacher. We encourage all students both on-site and virtual to attend. This would also be the perfect opportunity for parents who have questions regarding virtual academy to meet with Mr. Fletcher.
Thank you
On August 10th, from 5:00-7:00 p.m., Concord High School will hold its annual Open House. In an effort to help practice social distancing, we are asking that only the student and one parent/guardian attend this function and everyone wear a mask. During this open house we will meet with grades 7-9 to select electives for their schedules for the upcoming school year. We will also take this opportunity to meet with grades 10-12 to discuss and develop schedules for the upcoming school year. Also, other items that will be available will be beginning of the school year paperwork, home computer use, whether your child will be on campus or off campus next school year, and other school related items. It is a “come and go” situation; just make sure to be here sometime between 5:00-7:00 p.m.
Another round of great flashback memories!!
We are ready to see our kids! Having major withdrawals.
