The Concord staff is committed to providing quality education to students in a safe and respectful environment. The school-wide expectation for all students is:

I will act in a safe and respectful way.

Concord has established the following school-wide rules to foster respectful attitudes, encourage safe behaviors, and set clear expectations. These expectations and rules help guide behavior in the school, on the playground, and on the bus.

• Be kind
• Listen
• Be safe
• Follow directions
• Respect people and property

Redirections and appropriate consequences will be applied when needed. Disciplinary actions may include:

• Meeting with the teacher or principal
• Detention
• Loss of school privileges
• Parent contact
• Parent conference with school staff
• Financial restitution
• Modified school program
• Removal from class
• Transfer to another school
• Referral to school, community, or other outside agency services
• In-school suspension
• Exclusion
• Expulsion

A violation of the district rule prohibiting the possession, use and/or transmission of a weapon will lead to the immediate initiation of the expulsion process.

Teachers review our expectations and rules with all students at the beginning of the school year. Each classroom develops a classroom behavior plan that follows the school-wide expectation and rules. This plan is outlined in a newsletter from the teacher and at the grade level Parent Orientation in August.
