Welcome to Concord Road Elementary School. We have a proud history of academic excellence and a dedicated professional staff whose mission is to deliver a rich, standards based curriculum that fosters learning in a nurturing and stimulating environment. We use a balanced literacy approach to reading and writing instruction, and the Investigations in Number, Data and Space program in mathematics. Instruction in social studies builds from explorations of self and community to developing understandings of local and United States history and government. All students attend music, art, library, science, physical education and technology classes led by content specialists. Effective educational practices coupled with high expectations for student achievement ensure that our students will be well prepared to navigate the ever-changing environments of the 21st century.

The learning environment at CRS is organized to meet the individual needs of all children. We offer a range of programs to support both at-risk learners and students with special educational requirements. We choose our programs with care, continually assessing their effectiveness to ensure that there is always a strong fit between students and services.

We maintain strong bonds with the families we serve. We believe that shared decision making promotes the high quality communication needed to ensure success for all our students. We offer myriad opportunities for parents to support CRS. They attend school events, they volunteer in classrooms, they join school and district committees, and they participate in a wide range of fundraising activities. We celebrate successes and share concerns at conferences and curriculum events, through report cards, progress reports, newsletters and letters that inform stakeholders about classroom and school-wide happenings, through committee work, and by telephone and email. We periodically measure family satisfaction to assess the effectiveness of our outreach efforts. This drive to actively involve parents establishes bonds of mutual respect and trust between home, community and school.
