Principal e-Note

Concord Families,

As the holiday season jingles closer, it’s time to check our Lost and Found for any missing treasures your child may have left behind! Jackets, sweaters, lunchboxes, and more have found their way to our collection over the semester, and they’re eager to reunite with their owners.

All unclaimed items will be donated to a local charity over winter break. Be sure to swing by and check the Lost and Found by December 20th—don’t let your items take an unplanned holiday adventure!

Thank you for helping us keep our Lost and Found manageable,

Attendance is important, but we know sick days happen! Reporting an absence in the PikMyKid app is quicker than pouring your morning coffee—just a few taps before 9:00 a.m., and you’re all set. Skip the app, and we’ll have to start dialing, so help us out and keep it quick with the app!

Kind regards,

Brian and Liz

We are holding WINTER parties on Friday, December 20, from 10:30 -11:30 pm. If you are planning on attending your child's classroom party, please CLICK HERE to sign up.To help the check in process go faster, we will print name tags ahead of time for those who have signed up and had their ID scanned this school year. Please remember, we ask that only ONE ADULT attend for each student.

Wanna beat the sign-in line: If you have not had your ID scanned this school year, it would be helpful to stop by the Concord office by December 18th to get it scanned. You can visit the office during normal school hours. However, please avoid 3:10-3:45 as that is a very busy time frame due to dismissal

During the event, please feel free to use the Farmers Club Parking near Sperreng Middle School. The lot will serve as our overflow parking.

The holiday season can be a time of joy, but it can also bring stress and pressure, especially when we try to make everything perfect. It’s important to remember that keeping routines—even during the holidays—helps create a sense of stability for both kids and adults. You don’t have to make every moment magical or turn every event into a photo opportunity. Let go of the guilt around what “should” be and focus on what feels right for your family. Down time is just as important as holiday celebrations—it’s okay to relax, recharge, and enjoy quiet moments together. Embrace the season without the pressure of perfection, and remember that the best memories are often made in the simplest moments.

Counseling Office Puzzle Request

The counseling office is in need of 60-100 piece puzzle sets (new or used- with all the pieces please).

Why:

Puzzles help children who are feeling unregulated by engaging both sides of the brain—artistic (right brain) and problem-solving (left brain). This dual engagement helps ground children when they are feeling upset or anxious, promoting emotional regulation and a sense of calm in both their mind and body. We will accept donations until December 19th.

Your donations will be greatly appreciated!

Standards-Based Learning Survey: Parents Grades 2-7

The 8th-12th Grade Standards-Based Learning Task Force, comprised of teachers, parents, students, and administrators, is exploring how standards-based learning could be implemented beyond 7th grade. This task force is studying high school grading models, reviewing current practices at Lindbergh High School, and gathering insights from district families whose students are currently using standards-based learning.

We are asking parents of students in grades 2-7 to complete this short survey. Your feedback is essential, and the information we collect will help the task force make an informed recommendation about the future of grading practices in grades 8-12. At this time, a timeline for implementation of any recommendations has not been established.

Please take a moment to complete the survey before Jan. 7, and help us better understand your experiences and perspectives. Thank you.
