Health & Safety

At Concordia, the health and safety of our students is a top priority. We work intentionally to maintain a campus where students, employees, and visitors feel welcome, safe, and secure. Through careful planning, clear safety procedures, and regular preparation, we seek to protect both the physical safety and emotional well-being of everyone in our school community.

Accessing Campus

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 are requested to be invited in advance through the visitor system by their host. Upon arrival, visitors should present their invitation code at the entrance for access. Our dedicated security team is on duty 24/7, supported by surveillance cameras to ensure everyone’s safety.

Onsite Health Professionals

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.

Emotional Health and Safety

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.

Policies for Emotional Health and Safety

Clearing the air

Concordia continues to prioritize the health and safety of our students and staff through consistent monitoring of air quality across campus. Air quality is continuously monitored on-site, allowing us to track real-time conditions and make informed decisions throughout the school day.

Our systems are aligned with U.S. EPA guidelines, and we work to maintain indoor air quality within recommended standards, even when external conditions fluctuate.

Current air quality levels are communicated regularly to staff, and color-coded indicators are displayed at each division entrance to provide a clear and immediate understanding of outdoor conditions.

These systems and practices ensure that we are actively monitoring conditions and responding as needed to support a safe and healthy learning environment.
