A message from Wayne Barrett, Superintendent: 

Following Governor lnslee’s proclamation which closes all schools for the remainder of the 2019-2020 school year our district will continue to implement continuous learning for our students. This was not a decision lightly made, but we agree it’s the correct course of action to keep our community safe while reducing the spread of COVID-19 in our community.

Beginning next week, we will be reaching out to elementary parents regarding connectivity with internet. We are also contacting Frontier about their ability to provide service for families without internet. Please watch our website for distribution information for elementary Chromebooks. Our meal service will continue through June 19th. We really appreciate all the families and their efforts to meet our buses during delivery. Special thanks to our staff  members who have been volunteering to assist in all facets of our continuous learning model. I have enjoyed being out delivering meals to the students and families a great deal. It doesn’t take the place of my bus conversations at the end of the day with our students, but I really enjoy seeing all of you.

We know that there will be many questions regarding what this extended closure means for Concrete students. We will be reaching out to our seniors with information about completion requirements. Please know that we plan to make every effort to provide some form of graduation celebration for them.

These are challenging times; however, I am confident we will overcome them and further our community spirit. Please remember that our goal is to stay healthy and support each other.

Sincerely,
Wayne Barrett
Superintendent
Concrete School District

Concrete School District Update

March 24, 2020

I hope this message finds all our students, families, and community members safe and healthy while we yet again transition based on the Covid-19 virus as well as the Governor’s directive last evening. Our current food service program has been going well and it will continue during Spring Break (the week of April 6-10). Delivery of meals will continue during the break as we recognize this is a need for our families. Thank you very much to our staff for their efforts on behalf of our students and community. I am very proud of the response and willingness to lend a hand.

Beginning Monday March 30th instructional resources will increase for students in the Concrete School District. We will be focusing on delivery of material in a variety of methods including, online delivery, packets and teacher contact by phone, email, Zoom and many other platforms to reach our students. We will also have a heavy focus on making certain our seniors are progressing toward their graduation goals. This situation will remain fluid and we will provide as many resources as possible for students and families. In the next few days there will be more information provided by principals and teachers regarding instruction and student expectations for learning. Please monitor the website and click on the Covid-19 update button for the most recent information. Staff will be organizing and communicating from safe locations for them and their families during the restrictions, but they can be reached during school hours as they have communicated with all of you. Please stay safe and adhere to the stay-at-home order as instructed by the Governor during these challenging times.

Notice: The schedule has been updated as of 3/23/2020!

Starting Wednesday, March 18, we will distribute breakfast and lunch to students using our regular bus routes. Although we are using our bus routes, the delivery vehicle may be one of our other school vehicles (suburban, small bus, or car).

These times will be adjusted as we better figure this process out. Please be patient with us! You could really help by being out at the bus stop to receive these meals and provide feedback as to how it is going. Thank you!

If you have any issues or questions please call or email our Food Services Director Marla Reed at 360-853-4035 or mreed@concrete.k12.wa.us
