At Concordia, keeping our campus safe and welcoming is a priority for our entire community. Students, faculty, staff, and parents use facial recognition technology or their Concordia ID cards for seamless and secure entry. Visitors who do not have a Concordia ID are kindly asked to present a government-issued ID before entering. Our dedicated security team is on duty 24/7, supported by surveillance cameras to ensure everyone’s safety.
Concordia has two health offices onsite with full-time, registered nurses to tend to the everyday health needs of our students and who are qualified to handle emergency care. In addition to our onsite medical staff, all faculty and staff who work directly with students undergo comprehensive first-aid and emergency preparedness training.
All children face certain complex emotions during their school years—it’s part of growing up. In addition to their physical safety, we take into account the emotional well-being of our students. Our counseling and guidance staff provide support for students dealing with mental, emotional and stress-related difficulties.
Concordia continues to invest in the safety and health of our school environment. This includes sustainable solutions to ensure clean, safe air in our campus buildings. Built-in systems across campus ensure that the air quality in all classrooms and common areas remains well below U.S. EPA standards in regard to 2.5 particulate and other pollutants even when the external air quality is poor.
External air quality levels are checked throughout the day and reporte
d via color-coded signs at the entrances to each division using the same monitoring equipment as the U.S. Consulate.
Concordia requires parents to submit two medical forms for each student. Please note that a student will not be allowed to attend classes without these health forms on file in the Health Office.
To promote wellness and achieve optimal prevention of common infectious disease in the school community, Concordia has a Mandatory Vaccination Policy that parents are required to follow.
You may wish to have your child’s own medical supply (eg Epipen, Ventolin inhaler, medicine for allergies) kept in the nurse’s office in case there is a need.
Any student found to have any of the contagious conditions will be sent home. Parents should notify the Health Office/Nurse’s Station when a student has a contagious condition.
