Concrete School District is exploring new learning options to better meet the diverse needs of students and families. Two potential programs are currently being considered—a K–12 Parent Partnership Program (Concrete Connections Academy) and a 9–12 Re-engagement and Credit Recovery Program (Twin Cedars High School).

We invite families and community members to review the information below, complete the interest survey, and attend the Community Forum on Tuesday, November 4 at 6:00 p.m. in the Concrete High School Commons to share feedback and ideas.

Twin Cedars High School (Grades 9–12)

Re-engagement and Credit Recovery Program 

Overview: The district is also exploring the relaunch of Twin Cedars High School as a flexible high school program designed for students who need individualized support, alternative scheduling, or pathways to recover credit and graduate on time.

Possible Features:

• Would serve students in grades 9–12.
• Could combine online coursework (such as Edgenuity) with in-person instruction and small-group tutoring.
• Focused on credit recovery, career readiness, and postsecondary planning.
• Students would meet regularly with a certificated teacher and counselor to review goals and progress.
• Classes and study sessions may be held in the Board Room or Middle School building, depending on space availability.

Who This Could Serve:

• Students who need flexible scheduling due to work, family, or personal circumstances.
• Students who have fallen behind in credits or prefer a smaller learning environment.
• Families seeking an alternative to Open Doors or virtual-only programs outside the district.

Concrete Connections Academy (K–12)

Proposed Parent Partnership Program

Overview: The district is exploring the creation of a K–12 Parent Partnership Program called Concrete Connections Academy. This program would offer families a hybrid learning model that blends at-home instruction with on-site enrichment and support. It is designed for families who want greater flexibility in how their students learn while maintaining a strong connection to the district.

Possible Features:

• Open to students in grades K–12.
• Combines home-based learning with weekly on-site classes.
• Students and parents collaborate with a certificated teacher to develop a Written Student Learning Plan (WSLP).
• Access to district resources such as counseling, assessments, and extracurricular opportunities.
• Could be located in the former Head Start portable, which may be converted into a small learning center for parent and student use.
• Families maintain regular contact with district staff to ensure progress and support.

Who This Could Serve:

• Families currently homeschooling who wish to partner with the district.
• Students who benefit from flexible scheduling or smaller group instruction.
• Parents who want a more active role in their child’s learning within a public-school framework.
