Principal's Welcome
     

Concord Road Elementary School (CRS) has 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.

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 work closely with both our Pupil Performance Leadership Team (PPLT) and our Parent Teacher Association (PTA) to develop procedures and processes that will enhance school and family partnerships. The PPLT identifies and implements policies and programs that enable the school to maintain its high academic standards, and to operate efficiently and effectively. 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 fund-raising activities. This drive to actively involve parents establishes bonds of mutual respect and trust between home, community and school.
