If a student has come into contact with someone or they themselves have tested positive, you need to call the school helpline at 501-454-3716 to report it and to receive further instruction. There are new quarantine guidelines from the Arkansas Department of Health. If you call and no one answers, please leave a message and someone from the school will contact you.
Thank you and Happy New Year!
As I reflect this final day of the semester, I am blown away that we are already dismissing for Christmas! I want to say how thankful I am for everyone and all the hard work you all have put into making this first semester a success. Thank you staff, students, parents, community member, board members, and everyone else! We have all worked together through these truly unprecedented times. No things haven't been normal and no this is not how any of us would have picked for school to look this year, but through grace, mercy, love, and compassion we have made it a huge success.
I pray over all our Pirate family consistently and I will continue to pray over you throughout the break! I urge you all to enjoy time with your families and embrace the moments, never taking a single day for granted. We love you and cannot wait to see you again on January 4th. May the Lord bless you and keep you all safe this Christmas and have a happy new year!

The District would like to remind our pirate family we are still adhering to the Arkansas Department of Health COVID guidelines. Rest assured that we will continue to contact families that may be affected by new cases that may arise on campus.
Here are a couple things to keep in mind:
- Notify the school immediately if someone in the household has tested positive for COVID-19. This allows us to effectively carry out contact tracing to determine if other students and/or faculty need to be quarantined.
- Students who have undergone a COVID test can not return to school until the PCR (not rapid testing) results are back and are negative.
I am so excited to announce that our students now have the ability to access a brand new E-Library with hundreds of books at their fingertips. In order to offer this, all K-12th grade books are accessible to our students. As with any technology, please make sure your child is monitored when using this exciting new tool. You may access our E-Library by going to:
1. concordschools.org
2. Click on Menu, then High School and then CHS Library
3. At the top of the page, there will be an E-Library tab, click on that tab.
4. Then click on "Click here to access our E-Library through Follett. "
5. A box will pop up and you will choose Arkansas,
6. Type in Concord - click on Concord High School
7. Username is your child's last name and first initial (no spaces, no caps) Password: Concord
8. Bookmark this page so you won't have to repeat these steps each time! :)

As long as they complete the virtual work assigned to them, they will not be counted absent. Please find the Blended Learning Friday Parent Questionnaire link below. If you have not already filled it out, please do. We are trying to figure out how many students will be on campus. Also, there is a link that goes over many frequently asked questions.

Big shout out to SSG Whaley from the Marine Corps for his presentation to our Concord Seniors!
Starting tomorrow (Friday, October 2), we will be allowing students to pay a dollar and wear their hats. This will continue all next week (October 5-9) as well. The money collected will be donated to the Warden family from Midland Schools to help with medical expenses after their car accident. Three cousins are in the hospital at Batesville and UAMS indefinitely. We want to support the family members of our community as we have relatives of these boys who attend Concord Schools.
High school students can pay their money to Mrs. Harlan, Mrs. Strother, or Mrs. York. We will be stamping your hand in Mrs. Strother's classroom as proof that you paid. Elementary students will pay their classroom teachers.
Thank you!!
Pirate Family
The Concord School District will offer blended learning days on Fridays each week, beginning next Friday, October 9th.
“Blended Fridays” give parents/students the option of learning from home or school. Students who choose to learn from home on Fridays will not be counted absent as long as assignments are submitted. Instruction on blended Fridays will be 100% virtual. These are days that allow our students an opportunity to review previous instruction and check for understanding: there will be no new content taught or major assessments given.
Concord Schools is making this change primarily to help ease the burden on our students. We have listened and we trust the feedback received from our teachers and students: the amount of work required with our current model of instruction is not sustainable. Blended Fridays will give teachers protected time for the added tasks that have come with this unusual school year, and are designed to bring relief to everyone: parents, students, and staff. This is a hard time for all of us. We hope this will help.
The District will be sending out a Blended Learning Parent Questionnaire through social media on Wednesday, September 30th. Please take time to fill out this online survey. This will help us make future decisions for our students.
We understand you may have questions about how this will look. There will be a Blended Friday Frequently Asked Questions document on the District website. This will answer many questions you might have.

Concord was well represented today. Congratulations to Nikki Duke for placing 2nd in both of her classes and Abi West for winning her class as well as Reserve Grand Champion Open Market Goat. Great job today girls! A huge thank you to Mr. Tyler Lewis for his hard work and support of our kids!!
Dear Pirate Family,
Over the past few weeks I’ve spent several hours and days reflecting and praying over our students, teachers, staff, and families. We are all in uncharted waters and at times it seems the storm is just too powerful and the fear is just too much. But as I spent time discussing the times with my children at home I was reminded that even in the midst of the most powerful storm on the horizon is the most beautiful future awaiting. We can never truly prepare for the unknown but look forward to the future reflecting on the past and all that we learned along the way.
I hope and pray no matter what is going on in your life today that you know the sun is on the horizon and we are constantly lifting you up and we are here for you no matter what your going through. We are not perfect and we will make mistakes, but we are all in this together. We may not be family in the sense of living in the same house, but we are a Pirate family and family is there through the storm no matter the past.
My top priority has always been and will always be our students and We will never stop evaluating what is best for them. We love you and hang in there tomorrow is on its way!!
Big thank you to Patti Carson and ASU-Beebe for the fantastic presentation and assistance to our Concord Pirate Seniors this morning!
This is a reminder that Parent Teacher Conferences will be tomorrow from 2:00-7:00 PM. Students will be dismissed at 1:30. School will be in session on Friday.

With many schools starting to release their plans for the next school year, we know that many of our parents, students, and community members have questions. Please feel confident that we are working diligently on creating a plan that works best for Concord Schools. While many districts are rushing to release their plans for next year, we want to make sure we get things right initially, so we have taken more of a cautious approach. With new information and updates coming out daily from the governor and ADH, we feel this is the best approach. As we receive more guidance from the Department of Education, we will make sure to keep everyone up to date on any changes.
Thank you
Go Pirates!
Achieving Excellence Together
Cleburne County residents, please take time to fill out your 2020 U.S. Census form. While it may seem like an inconvenience or unimportant, not filling out the census has major consequences for our kids. The data collected is utilized in determining school funding. As of now, only 48% of Cleburne Co. residents have filled out the census. The link below will direct you to the online census form. If you do not have your census letter that contains your census ID, there's a link below that allows you to still fill out a form.
Thank you!!

Come out and support a great cause. As many of you know, Mrs. Margie passed away in a house fire on May 17th. There will be a BBQ banquet to help raise money for her husband John Tucker.
We have received questions asking if the district plans on providing off campus virtual learning for the upcoming 2020-2021 school year. The district will be providing that option to students who wish to go that route. However, we have every intention of starting school on August 13th with the safety of our students as the number one priority. The district has purchased and will continue to provide many resources to make sure our students receive a quality education while also maintaining a healthy and clean learning environment.

There will also be containers to drop off completed AMI work. AMI containers will stay at those locations until Monday afternoon. Due to the high volume of COVID-19 cases in our county, the state has asked employees of the school to limit their time in the buildings. Due to this, office hours will vary. If you cannot pick up or drop of your work to the school on Friday from 9:00-1:00, the tubs will be placed outside the school building.
Thank you and stay safe!!

Pirate Family,
As I drove in this morning and my mind told me my campus would be empty, all of a sudden the sun broke over the trees and it seemed just a little bit BRIGHTER!! I was then reminded of what today and the next few days ahead represent. Concord Pirate Family there is Hope on the Horizon!!
I know we all face various struggles and no matter what the struggle is, it’s real for each person in their own way. We are not built to face these struggles alone, I pray this weekend you are met with the Hope to face your own struggle and see there is a day coming where the struggle will no longer exist. I pray you are all surrounded with love this weekend.
I want to remind you that our helpline, for us, is more than academics. If you need anything please reach out. We are here for you all!! Love you Pirates! HOPE IS ON THE HORIZON TODAY!!
Dr. Kenneth Moore
Superintendent

Seniors,
I know there are many of you who are trying to complete scholarship applications. Most of your applications will need a signature, transcript, etc. We have designed a Dropbox that will be placed on the front porch of the high school's main entrance. You will need to place your information in the box with a note as to what you will need completed and secure the lid back tightly.
PLEASE remember to bring things at least a week before they are due! I suggest that you bring your items on Mondays of each week. I will be here on Tuesdays to get things ready for you. Mr. Tarver will work on Wednesday and Thursday this week, but after this week he will be here from 10:45-1:30 on Thursdays and 8:00-1:30 on Fridays. STUDENTS ARE NOT ALLOWED IN THE BUILDING. You will have to use the dropbox to get information to us. We can also use the dropbox to return items back to you if necessary. I will be happy to copy and mail any scholarship that is completed. Please feel free to email Mr. Tarver or myself about any questions you might have.
Stay safe and keep working hard on your scholarships while you have this time at home!
Mrs. Cornett
Teachers working hard to make sure our students still receive instruction during this time.
Nurse Delite and Ms. Amy up bright and early ready to serve our kiddos their food baskets for the week!!
If you would like school meals for your child, and have not already been contacted by a school employee, please call the office at 870-668-3757 between the hours of 9:00 to 3:30 Monday-Thursday. If you have already been contacted by a school employee, there is no need to call.
COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Information Updated 3/22/20
Dear Pirate Family,
I want to inform you that there are now at least 25 cases of Covid-19 in Cleburne County and it may have made its way to some of our Pirate Family. This number is going to continue to rise. This virus spreads very easily. Knowing this information I hope that you will all take precautions and stay at home as much as possible. If you must go out please practice social distancing and good hand hygiene.
This means 6 feet of space between you and others, no hand shaking or hugs. If you go to get needed supplies then be sure that you clean or disinfect your hands after touching the keypad or exchanging money to pay. If you open a door then disinfect your hands. Wash your hands after putting groceries away. Keep your surfaces clean and disinfected at home. Don’t share food or drinks. I know many are still working so please practice the same at work. Don’t put food in a common refrigerator in your workplace. Wash your hands.
Symptoms:
Fever
Cough
Shortness of Breath
Sore Throat
Not everyone needs to be tested. If you do not have a high risk or major symptoms it may not be necessary to be tested. However if you have any symptoms you absolutely should stay home. If you get tested and are waiting on results you should stay home.
If you have a Fever and one of the above symptoms then you meet screening criteria--This means that you may be tested for Coronavirus--1st you will be tested for Flu and Strep. This is ever changing due to testing capabilities.
If you have symptoms and are concerned call your healthcare provider. Some clinics are currently performing screening in the parking lots while you are in your car in an effort to try to reduce the spread.
Many are now using Telehealth- check their website or call your healthcare provider.
If you do not have a healthcare provider:
call the UAMS hotline 1-800-632-4502 or go to https://uamshealth.com/healthnow/
Baptist Health- Heber Springs is offering drive through screenings. Must call ahead 501-887-3279 to schedule an appointment.
Telehealth--talk with your PCP or check their website for this service. Many hospitals are offering this service as well. Check their website.
Those at higher risk for serious illness include older adults and people with underlying chronic medical conditions. People who are considered high risk should contact their health care provider early, even if symptoms are mild.
If you have symptoms then you are asked to Self Quarantine. This means stay at home with minimal or no contact from anyone else. This means frequent cleaning of your house and staying in your own room.
Home care
Stay at home, the only reason an ill person should leave the house is for medical attention
If possible open a window to allow ventilation (let the germs out)
Distance from other family members (don’t sleep in the same bed)
Do not have visitors in the house
Have one person be the caretaker (better if they don’t have any health issues)
Increase hand washing for all members of the family, after coughing or sneezing, before and after eating, after using the bathroom. (at least 20 seconds with soap and water)
Don’t share blankets or towels with the ill person
Clean and disinfect surfaces frequently, including the toilet.
Home Treatments
In general, follow these three basic rules:
Keep warm and rest as much as possible. If you feel like resting, you should
Take plenty of fluids. Food is not as important since appetite will return when you are well.
For fever, take Tylenol or Motrin in normal doses (see label on the bottle). Tylenol is suggested to be preferred to use. Tylenol is the same as Acetaminophen. Motrin or Advil is the same as Ibuprofen
If cough is present: Humidification and drinking lots of fluids helps to moisten and loosen up sticky mucus. Non-prescription drugs designed to suppress cough, such as Delysm, Robitussin, are occasionally helpful. If you use an inhaler, you might need to use it more often.
If throat is sore: Gargle with warm water (1/2 tsp salt in 1/2 glass of water). Try cold packs to the outside of your throat to help ease the pain of swallowing. Humidification of the air you breathe (use vaporizer, pans of evaporating water, or steaming tub or shower) and lots of fluids help.
If temperature is elevated: Fluids are doubly important. Fever medicine (such as Tylenol or Motrin) should control temperature. Persistent temperature elevation of 103-104 degrees is a danger sign.
If nausea and/or diarrhea are present: Eat only clear liquids, soups, or juices as tolerated. Remember fluids are important to prevent dehydration.
If emergency warning signs develop, seek medical attention immediately. These signs include: difficulty breathing, persistent pain or pressure in the chest, coughing up blood, Fever of 103-104 in spite of Tylenol/Ibuprofen use, new confusion or inability to arouse, or bluish lips or face.
I am asking everyone to please stay home as much as possible. Take care of elderly friends and make sure they have what they need without having to go out. Wash your hands frequently. Please take care of yourselves and each other! I am missing the students and I have talked to many teachers that are missing them too. We all have to do our part, this won’t last forever.
Sincerely,
Delite Fife RN, BSN, NCSN
Concord School District Nurse

Parents please be expecting a phone call to discuss an option for food service over the next 4 days. Thank you
It is with great sadness that we have decided to cancel our spring musical. Between missing school and testing, we do not have adequate time to prepare. We do not feel it is wise to gather in a large group at this time. We are sorry and hope to perform the play next year.
Elementary students that did not receive an AMI packet last week, they are available at the front office. Students will be responsible for days 1-4.
Thank you Representative Josh Miller for speaking to our students.
‼️ATTENTION ‼️ Parents who NEED to pick up medicine should do so Monday or call the nurse Monday to make arrangements for another pick up time.
AMI work days 1-4 will begin on Tuesday March 17th through Friday March 20th, no work is due for Monday March 16th.
