Survey Seeks Parent Input on Needs for Upcoming School Year |
|
As the Mt. Diablo Unified School District finalizes their plans for the upcoming school year, the City of Concord Parks & Recreation Department is exploring enrichment programming to further support families with distance learning/hybrid school schedules for school-aged children.
Please take a few minutes to complete the interest survey. Completing the survey does not commit your child to participate in future programs nor does it guarantee a spot for your child(ren), but it will assist us with determining if there is a need/interest. We will be creating an interest list from the survey results so we can keep you informed regarding program details and registration dates.
