Concord Academy Named Non-Profit of the Game

 

THURSDAY, MAY 20
6:45 p.m.


Thanks to everyone who bought Redbirds tickets and/or shared the link. We sold 119 seats! We think that's pretty amazing for our tiny school. 
 

If you are attending the game, here are a few things you will want to know: 

  • If you printed or downloaded your tickets more than a few days ago, please check them to be sure you have a seat assignment. If you don't, you'll want to go back to your confirmation email and reprint or redownload them to get your seat assignments. 
  • Please wear a Concord shirt if you have one. We are all sitting in the same general area, in sections 110 and 112, and we'd love to show the crowd our Concord Spirit! 
  • Only clear bags are allowed at the ballpark. Please spread the word! 
  • Get there early to view the premiere of a new Concord video message, and to see a Concord student throw out the first pitch!
  • Your ticket includes admission, popcorn, soda, and a souvenir hat!

We can't wait to see our Concord Academy families and friends at the game! 




RENWEB BALANCES
Please check your child's Renweb account and have it paid in full by Friday, May 21. You can pay online through Renweb or pay in cash or with check to Mrs. Pitcher in the front office. Thank you!

TUITION DEPOSITS
Mrs. Pitcher sent out invoices recently for 21-22 tuition deposits for Plans A, B, and C. Please contact her if you have any question about your invoice. 

No need to clip your Box Tops for Education anymore! Get the Box Tops app on your mobile device and set it up for Concord Academy Memphis, TN. Then you can simply scan your receipts each time you purchase an eligible item.  

Not sure which items qualify? Look for the Boxtops logo on the package or view the complete list of products here. New items include Larabar, Yoplait, Mountain High Yogurt, and Oui Multipacks, to name a few. 

Don't want to use the app? Just send in your receipts and we'll scan them for you! 

School Safety Updates


VACCINES
If your child is vaccinated, please provide documentation to us so that we can begin to calculate a percentage of immunity among our school population. 

Home Health Checks
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. 


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.

COVID Testing

Rapid Tests - We are pleased to offer free rapid COVID testing for staff and students at Concord with support from the TN Department of Health. Please see the
COVID-19 Testing FAQ document here for more information. Contact Mrs. Palazola with any questions or to schedule testing at cpalazola@concord-academy.org or 901-682-3115.

PCR Tests available - free Everlywell PCR test kits are available for home testing. These are more accurate than the rapid tests but take a few days to get results. Please reach out to Mrs. Palazola if you need a test. We have plenty to share with our Concord family.
