Conway Community News - Week 35

As an EL Education school our student achievement combines academic achievement, character and high-quality work.  We believe that academic success is built on strong character qualities of collaboration, perseverance, integrity, compassion for excellence and that character is shaped through engaging and challenging work.  

A special shout-out to our noon duty supervisors that created a special celebration in honor of Dia De Los Ninos.  Children’s Day has been celebrated annually in Mexico since 1925. Children are recognized as an important part of society so the day focuses on the importance of loving, accepting and appreciating children.

Now that testing season has started, this is the time when students demonstrate proficiency and knowledge of skills within each discipline.  I-ready tested results are starting to trickle in and the results are impressive.  I-ready testing will continue for all our students.

State, CAASSP testing begins on May 1st for 3 - 6th grade.  A letter went home - see link- explaining the importance for family support.

>span class="c61 c73 c24 c37 c147 c14">One of the most incredible experiences during the two day visit was how our families responded to the request for creating a lunch experience.  Our guests were amazed by the outpour of kindness and support for all of you. I cannot thank you all enough for your support of our Conway Crew.  It was an EPIC and the most delicious lunch.  THANK YOU!         

We’re just a week away from Better World Day 2023! Students at EL Education schools worldwide are putting the finishing touches on celebrations of learning, searching deep in their closets for their work boots, gloves, and art smocks, and rehearsing their Community Circle addresses.  Stay tuned families for more information regarding this EPIC day.  Read about this nationwide event here - BWD link.

I am  grateful for the opportunity to inspire students to discover their unlimited potential through Excellence, Perseverance, Integrity, and Compassion.  Together we are creating an EPIC school.  Here is another example of our EPIC Crews.  

We are in this together and believe, We Are Crew, not passengers.  

In Crew,

Principal Meglich
