Community expectations

Respect Starts Here.

A safe, welcoming school community begins with each of us. At Concord High School, our expectations are designed to help every student feel respected, supported, and prepared for success.

Welcome to our community

At Concord High School, we believe that every student deserves the opportunity to learn in a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment. Our community expectations reflect the values of NYC Public Schools and support a positive school culture built on responsibility, accountability, and mutual respect.

Every member of our school community plays an important role in creating an environment where everyone can learn, grow, and succeed.

🌟 our core expectations

🤝 Be Respectful

Treat classmates, staff, visitors, and yourself with kindness and dignity.

• Use respectful language.

• Celebrate differences and value every member of our community.

• Resolve conflicts peacefully.

• Follow staff directions promptly.

• Help create a welcoming school environment.

Be prepared

Be prepared to work every day with a notebook, pen, etc. Make sure you keep up with any homework.

Dress Code

Students are expected to dress in a clean, neat, modest, and safe manner at all times. All schools, including Concord, may prohibit all students from wearing revealing clothing that does not provide full coverage of private body parts; inappropriate dress will result in a telephone call  to a student’s parent/guardian requesting a change of clothing. 

Use of Electronic Devices

Cell phones, headphones and other electronics are not to be visible. These items will be confiscated by the administration.

Discipline and Safety

No physical violence or verbally abusive language. Learn to disagree without being disagreeable. Any student that engages in this behavior will be held to the highest discipline allowed under the discipline code (for students 17 years or older physical violence or bullying can lead to expulsion).

Respect the Building

Respect the building; it is over 120 years old and a Staten Island landmark. Do not graffiti or deface any part of the building. Any student that engages in this behavior will be prosecuted under the law.
