Purchase a replacement stylus, case, or charging cord for your child’s Chromebook for just $10 each! Items can be purchased at your child’s school and cash payments can be made to the school treasurer. Please send exact change if possible! The cost of these replacement products typically ranges from $27 to $38, so we encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity. Reduced prices will remain while supplies last. We received grant funding to make this sale possible and in an effort to spread this opportunity to as many students as possible, families may purchase only one of each item.

Reminder: Concord Schools will be closed tomorrow April 15 (Good Friday). Classes will resume Monday, April 18. Recordatorio: Las escuelas de Concord estarán cerradas mañana 15 de abril (Viernes Santo). Las clases resumen el lunes 18 de abril.

A total of $51,270 was raised during this year’s Make-A-Wish campaign at Concord Junior High – the most money ever raised during the biennial campaign! CJHS has been raising funds to grant wishes biennially since 1995. Proceeds from this year’s fundraiser will benefit two local students who were identified as recipients through the Make-A-Wish Foundation – Jack, 11, and Reed, 14. Jack’s wish is to travel to California where he would like to visit an LA car experience to see cars of all types and visit Randy’s Donuts. Reed’s wish is to be a train engineer, and specifically to sound the train horn. The 2022 contributions bring the total raised to $481,514.10. Outstanding work to all involved! #ConcordPride

Building a positive culture of support for all students is something all staff do -- and our coaches really take it to the next level! A group of coaches are participating in a three-part series of workshops with Dr. John Yeager, author of "The Coaching Zone." The workshops are designed to help coaches think about what motivates them to coach, how to best work with their athletes and ways to lead the team as whole. Thank you, coaches, for going above and beyond for our students! #ConcordPride
