This web page has been set up specifically for new Concordia Prep students and families. Please bookmark this page and check it often. Updates will be posted throughout the spring and summer months.
The Admissions Team has put together a new student checklist to use to help prepare our new families to get ready for the 2024-2025 school year. Click here for the form:
Students who have enrolled in CPS will need to submit our “Enrolled Release of Records”. Although we received your student’s records during the application process, we now need all academic (including final report cards) and medical records. Please download and send (email or mail) this form back to the Concordia Prep School Admissions office. If you choose to email, please email admissions@concordiaprepschool.org.
After a review of the placement tests and final grades, the school will reach out to your family to schedule a time to discuss schedules for next year.
How will this work?
Step 1: Our Director of Guidance and other administrators will be organizing meetings with each of our incoming students and families to discuss your schedule for the upcoming year. These meetings will be available in person or virtually and will begin in the coming weeks. Priority status for these meetings is for our incoming 9th-grade class and transfer students in grades 10th-12th.
Step 2: Upon students completing their "course schedule meetings," communication will be made to assist families in identifying which summer work they are responsible for in the subjects they will be enrolled in for 24/254. Summer work will be in the areas of Math and English.
NOTE: Final Schedules are not handed out until the New Student Orientation on August 22nd.
Lands’ End (Preferred School Number: 900101890) will remain a provider of uniforms for students at Concordia Preparatory School, however, next school year Concordia Prep will allow families the option of using other vendors outside of Land’s End for dress pants and dress shirts.
*Land’s End remains the sole provider of uniform items:
Polo shirts (short and long-sleeve) that include a school-approved embroidered logo.
Sweaters that include a school-approved embroidered logo.
Skorts and shorts.
Middle School: Middle School dress code remains the same with the option of students going to outside vendors (outside of Land’s End) for dress pants, should they choose to wear them.
Upper School: Upper School students will have the option to use outside vendors for:
Pants – students may wear blue, black, tan, or khaki-colored pants.
Dress shirts – Students may wear white or powder blue dress shirts. Bowties and ties are optional for ladies and men.
For Upper School students – please note, Land’s End short-sleeve and long-sleeve polo shirts for boys will not be allowed for 2024-2025. Upper School boys are required to wear a dress shirt with or without a tie.
Outerwear for All Students: The CPS Boathouse jacket store will open in the summer (parents will be notified via email). Students are also allowed to purchase black CPS fleeces and CPS gray sweatshirts in the fall. A pre-order sale will take place in August – parents will be notified via email. Additions to outerwear include a blue or black sport coat.
Footwear: Students are not allowed to walk on the heels of their Sperry’s and that will be enforced as a uniform infraction next year.
Please see attached for photos of “Approved & Not Approved” uniform items.
Concordia Prep offers two (2) bus routes; Harford County and Catonsville, for families that live in these areas. Bus Transportation is a separate fee paid annually either via payment plan or in full for a discount. Please review the 23-24 Contracts as a reference for location and policies.
Our 2024-2025 Bus Contracts will be available in July, 2023. Please fill out the form below if your family is interested in riding the Bus for the 2023-2024 school year.
All new students must submit an immunization record and a Concordia Prep Annual Physical Exam. Students trying out for fall sports will need to have a physical on file before they can participate in practices. Physicals are due August 2, 2024.
New this year for all students, medical information and forms are due to be uploaded into your child's On Campus profile by Monday August 12, 2024. Information explaining this process will be sent soon via email
All of the forms are located below and completed forms are to be uploaded into On Campus.
Your child's physical should be done between the end of May and August 2, 2024. When you get your child’s physical this summer, please have the doctor complete the Medication Administration Form for medications they need to take during the school day and the Over the Counter MedicationForm for medications available in the health suite for headaches, pain, cough, sore throat or skin irritations. Also, have the doctor give you your child's updated immunization summary.
Schedules will be distributed during the new student orientation night in late August. During the evening, staff members will provide information regarding school policy and practice and other information to help you transition into CPS. Students will have time to locate their lockers, try out locker combinations, stow school supplies, receive individual schedules, and briefly visit classes.
All students will receive school supply requirements from their teachers on the first day or two of classes. Please come on the first day with general school supplies, such as notebooks or binders, folders, pens, and pencils.
Standardized tests will be administered to students in a digital format next school year.Only Windows laptops, iPads, and Macbooks are compatible devices. Students will be required to install an application on their personal devices for digital testing. Unfortunately, personal Chromebooks cannot be used for digital standardized tests. The school will have a limited number of compatible devices for students to borrow for standardized testing purposes. Please contact Mrs. Amanda Trapani, Director of Technology at amandatrapani@concordiaprepschool.org, if your student may need to borrow a school device.
Before New Student Orientation, please install the Google Chrome web browser on student personal devices.
If your student has a personal Chromebook to use for next school year, please disable all parental controls prior to New Student Orientation. Your student will need to add a new user account, and if the student cannot add the user account due to parental controls or an unknown passcode, the student won't be able to set up and configure the CPS technology accounts successfully.
New students will receive their CPS technology account information, including their school email accounts, at New Student Orientation.
Although Apple iPads are not a recommended personal device, they are acceptable to use during the 2024-2025 school year with a protective case and external keyboard. The CPS Technology Department will reevaluate the acceptable usage of iPads for the 2025-2026 school year and provide more details at a later date.
All students have access to the Microsoft Office 365 productivity suite for free, which includes Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. New students will receive more information at the beginning of the school year on how to install and access the software on their personal devices.
Please contact Mrs. Amanda Trapani, Director of Technology, if you have any questions or concerns about the new recommended BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) student policy at amandatrapani@concordiaprepschool.org.
