🚌 National School Bus Safety Week! 🚌 This week serves as a reminder about the important role that we all play in keeping students safe. School buses are one of the safest vehicles on the road. Students who ride the bus are more likely to get to school safely, than those who are driven to school in a car. That is because school buses are designed with keeping children safe in mind. Thank you for following school bus safety rules and keeping our kids safe! Lastly, thank you to our bus drivers who go above and beyond to ensure the safety of students to and from school! We appreciate you! #ConcordPride #StaySafeConcord

Lunch Visitors Rules Starting in September, East Side is welcoming our families back to having lunch with their students this year. Due to the number of students East Side has, some rules have had to be established. Only one family per grade level will be allowed each day. There is a maximum of 2 visitors. All visitors will need to have the ID with them to sign in and sign out of the building. Parents will have to call the office at least 24 hours in advance and schedule an “appointment” to join their child for lunch. Please do NOT contact the teacher, only “appointments” scheduled through the office will be accepted. Parents will be able to sign up to have lunch with their child no more than once a month in order to give other families an opportunity to do the same. NO restaurant food is allowed in the cafeteria. Ex: McDonalds, Subway, Little Caesars, etc. If you are not feeling well, please do NOT come in. If you are clearly sick, you may be turned away. We ask that you leave after the lunch period, and not go out to recess or walk your child back to class. Thank you!

We are off to a great start to the school year! Here is the September Newsletter for Concord East Side:

Triple P - Positive Parenting Program has several workshops planned this fall to support Concord families! To register, go online to https://elkhartcountyparents.org or call 574-226-0160. #ConcordPride

A couple of reminders: 1) August 15th class lists will be posted at 1:00 pm 2) August 15th Back to School Night (Kindergarten 5:00-5:45 we will start in the cafeteria) (Grades 1-4 6:00-6:45 open house format) 3) August 17th first day of school 4) Drop off and Pick up procedure at East Side As we begin the school year, we want to remind families of our drop off and pick up procedures. We ask that you enter the parking lot on the north drive which is marked with signs. (see map) We form 2 lines and then merge as you get close to the basketball hoops by the playground. This helps to manage the number of cars that we have. We ask that children exit the vehicle on the side closest to school. This is a safety precaution. To pick your child up at the end of the day, you will need a "pick up" number. You can get this from the office at East Side. We are looking forward to a great year and want to make sure we keep everyone safe. Thanks for your help with following this plan.

Our classrooms and hallways might be a little more empty than usual this time of year, but there's still great work happening within our buildings each day by our awesome team of custodial staff! The work of our custodians to ensure our buildings sparkle and shine is under-recognized, but incredibly appreciated! This department of hard-working superhumans is in need of some support! We're currently in the market for 2nd shift custodians at Ox Bow, East Side, CJHS and CHS (a total of eight open positions). Please help us spread the word about these openings by sharing this link: https://bit.ly/CCScustodial Our custodians need your help to grow their team! #ConcordPride
