Join us for our Back-to-School Event at Concrete Elementary and Concrete High School on Thursday, August 28, from 4:30 to 6:00 PM!

• Secondary families (Grades 6–12) will enter through the east side gym entry doors. Tables will be set up down the main high school hallway for forms and schedules, and seating will be available in the commons for those who would like a place to sit and complete paperwork.
• Elementary families (TK–5) will go to the elementary building to drop off supplies, meet teachers, and complete welcome forms.
• After check-in, families are invited to visit booths in the field between the schools featuring our school and community partners: Elementary PTO, Concrete Booster Club, Concrete Youth Sports Association (CYSA), Boys & Girls Club, Youth Dynamics, Farm to School, the Concrete Resource Coalition, and more.

The Elementary PTO will be serving free hotdogs, so be sure to grab a bite while you connect with others and learn more about what’s available this year.

New for the 2025–2026 School Year:

• Qmlativ will replace Skyward as our student information system.
• ParentSquare will become the district’s all-in-one communication tool, replacing Remind, Class Dojo, and any other apps previously used by schools or coaches—including for athletics.

Staff will be on hand to help families get signed up and ready to stay connected.

Make a Difference

Serving on the school board is a meaningful way to support Concrete students, staff, and families. We encourage community members to consider this opportunity to lead and serve.

As part of our broader efforts to modernize systems and improve communication, Concrete School District is adopting ParentSquare as our primary communication tool for the 2025–2026 school year.

ParentSquare provides a secure, centralized platform for two-way communication between the district, schools, and families. It allows messages to be sent via email, text, app notification, or phone, and automatically translates messages into each user's preferred language. This ensures all families receive timely, clear, and accessible communication—whether it’s a school announcement, attendance notice, or classroom update.

We will be using all features of ParentSquare except the website. Families can access everything they need through the ParentSquare mobile app or email notifications.

ParentSquare is already in use in many districts across the state and has been shown to improve parent engagement, reduce missed messages, and strengthen school-home partnerships. More information and how-to videos will be shared in the coming weeks.

Thank you for your flexibility and support as we prepare for these exciting upgrades. Together, these changes will help us build a more efficient, responsive, and connected school district.
