Envisioning Middle School Education — January 29, 7:00 p.m.

The Concord School Committee and Facilities Planning Committee invite you to join us in an evening of envisioning middle school education in Concord. As part of an “Educational Visioning” initiative that will help guide our efforts to plan for a new middle school building, we invite parents, guardians, and anyone involved in educating Concord’s students to share your hopes and dreams for the Concord Middle School educational experience and what it could look like in the future.

A new year brings with it the opportunity to look at the future and make a fresh start. For many of us, it also brings creating new IEPs and goals for our children. The January newsletter is all about the IEP and connecting you to some of the resources that may help you along the journey.

So sorry for the late posting. Enjoy our December Newsletter. And Happy Holidays!

We are happy to share with you the Concord Public/Concord-Carlisle Regional Special Education Parent Advisory Council (SEPAC) November Newsletter. Enjoy!

Last night the SEPAC and the Concord Public and Concord-Carlisle Regional School Committees honored twenty-seven people from the Concord Public Schools and Concord-Carlisle Regional School District with this year’s SEPAC Appreciation Awards.

Parents and guardians of children who have a student on an IEP or 504 plan were invited to nominate one special person in the school districts who have made a difference to their family or student during the current school year. Among the honorees were special education teachers, cafeteria workers, general education teachers, tutors, administration, and two former co-presidents of the SEPAC.

Congratulations and thank you, honorees, for your dedication to our students and for believing that every student deserves an extraordinary education.

SEPAC Appreciation Awards will be presented tomorrow at the Joint School Committee meeting!

6:30 pm, Ripley Administration Building

Please join us as we honor our wonderful recipients.
