Greetings Conway community,
As an expeditionary learning school, we value our tradition of crew as both a culture and structure. At Conway, we have extended that structure to Dens.
This year in Dens, we will focus on our ten Design Principles. During Thursday’s den meeting, learners explored the design principle, EMPATHY & CARING.
This practice is also an example of our EUSD Learner Profile that grows Empathetic Collaborators, our learners learn to actively listen, build on the strengths, interest, and assets of others.
We thank you for entrusting us with your student, but more than ever, we are excited about our future to achieve more than we thought possible.
Let’s make it an EPIC week!
Always in crew,
Tina Meglich, Principal

Why Does Attendance Matter?
Every school day counts
A missed school day is a lost opportunity for students to learn. Every day a student is absent is a lost opportunity for learning. Too many absences not only can affect achievement for the absent student but also can disrupt learning for the entire class. Our students’ learning is so important and we want our families to know, we are here to help! Please reach out to our attendance clerk, Juana Bautista, jbautista@eusd.org or our family liaison, Xochoitl Maldonado Xmaldonaldo@eusd.org for any questions or assistance.
