School Safety Updates
Teachers are in Group 1b for the Covid vaccine, and the estimate for Shelby County to get to that group is late Feb. or early March. Please be advised that we may call a schoolwide Professional Development day for teachers to get immunized. We will give as much notice as we can if this happens.
Please continue to monitor your student for symptoms each day before coming to school, and keep them at home if they or anyone in your household is sick with any symptom that could be Covid-related.
The latest update to our school safety document was shared with families on Dec 3 and is available here. We are currently operating under the Shelby Co Health Department Directive #17, available here.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Cece Palazola, Executive Director, at cpalazola@concord-academy.org or 901-682-3115.
We are committed to evidence-based action.
We are committed to the health and safety of our students and families.
We are committed to transparency.
