We have found over the years that the following rules are really in the
student.s best interest. They are designed to support the educational process.
In an atmosphere like ours, which is open and friendly, it is most important to
know what is unacceptable and why.
The following policy, adopted in the fall of
1992, has been instituted in all classes in a uniform manner. There will be
no late homework or late papers accepted in any class. A student will
receive a .zero. for any assignment not handed in on time.
(Adopted August 8, 1996)
Commencing October
1, 1996, wherever possible, students will be scheduled to take Algebra I and
Geometry concurrently, or Algebra II and Geometry concurrently, whichever
combination is appropriate, in order to maintain the continuity of the Algebra
program (Algebra I/Algebra II). The above policy represents Concord High
School.s version of integrated mathematics: Geometry will always be taken in
conjunction with either Algebra I or Algebra II, but each course remains
distinct.
An additional advantage of the above policy is that it allows students to
accelerate more rapidly in mathematics, to AP Calculus (BC) and beyond if so
desired. 
Each student is expected to be in class on
time; a schedule will be given to each student. A school clock is visible from
the patio.
If a student is absent, a call to the school is required. If a student misses
a class during the school day, a call is made to the home. All absences require
a valid excuse; the validity is determined by the office.
If an exam or
other in-class assignment is missed due to an unexcused absence, the
student will not be permitted to make up the work. 
Because we have all learned to value our
environment, we insist that the school remain clean and comfortable throughout
the day. Concord High School is located in a smoke-free complex.
Smoking is NOT permitted anywhere on the school grounds, and students may NOT
smoke within view of the school. In addition, we ask all students to
refrain from eating, drinking or chewing gum while in any part of the
building. We ask also that they do not bring food or drinks into
the classroom.
All students are free to leave from 11:10 am to twelve o.clock for lunch. Each student is provided with a personal bathroom key.
Gated and monitored parking is available to any student who wishes it, by the month. Arrangements should be made with the parking lot attendant.
