Dear Families:
As we enter the last week in May, it is a very busy time! CCHS held the first prom since 2019 last night with great success! The week brings concerts, art shows, Grade 5 visiting CMS, and more!

Literacy: Multi-Tiered System of Support
The recording of last week’s Literacy Presentation K-12 is available here. The slides are posted here. The presentation’s focus is on the use of assessments to collect data that helps identify students needing intervention and support.

Concord Free Public Library

The CFPL Summer Reading Program runs from Monday, June 6 through Friday, Aug 12 and is free and open to children of all ages. Visit the Main Library or Fowler Branch to register and collect your prizes. Everyone gets a necklace and brag tag for joining the program. Kids earn beads for their necklace by reading and completing challenges on our weekly bingo boards. Our youngest patrons get to earn cute rubber duckies! Learn more here.
Are you a teen or caregiver of a teen in need of community service hours? Look no further than the Concord Free Public Library! Join Teen Librarian Cary Stough Monday, May 23 from 6:30-7pm for a short informational session at the Main Library on the many opportunities available to teens, from craft preparation to creating and facilitating their own programs. Teen volunteers have been the source of much of what makes the Library such a vibrant, unique community space. If you cannot make the session, or would like more information, please visit our website. No registration required.

COVID
Last week, we saw similar case counts as the previous two weeks, reflecting the ongoing spike. Our case counts are kept current on the COVID Dashboard. I am in discussion with the public health leaders about hosting a booster clinic for children ages 5-12 now that the booster has been approved. I will share more information as I have it.
Stay cool tonight!
Best,
Laurie
