K-4 STUDENT HANDBOOK

Welcome Letter from the Principals  

To the Parents of Our Students:

The 2024-2025 Student Handbook has been written to outline some important information regarding the people, programs, activities, and guidelines that make each Concord Elementary School an outstanding and safe place for your children. We believe the educational process must be a shared responsibility between home and school, and that together we can achieve success for all of our students.  We feel that we provide students with a safe, respectful school environment that is conducive to learning and the educational process.

You can play an important role in helping us at home by reinforcing the skills that we teach at school, as well as the behavioral expectations of your child’s classroom teacher.  We expect our students to DO THE RIGHT THING AND TREAT PEOPLE RIGHT.  If you could also reinforce those ideas at home, it would enable us to help our students understand that these concepts are very important in order for us to maintain an orderly environment while at school. 

All of us working together will better enable us to achieve our district mission: Preparing All Students For Success!

 Respectfully,

Your Elementary Principals
