Conway Community News - Week 7

 

Community News

September 24th, 2023

In EUSD, every student is empowered to gain hands-on experience and discover their unlimited potential.  This week  after school enrichment programs were launched.  Students are excited by the possibilities of experiencing ceramics, fine arts, Lego robotics, ballet folklorico, theater, soccer, sewing, EPIC leadership (ASB), environmental stewards (green crew), and learn to spread peace and joy as peer mediators (Peace patrol).  There are still a few openings in Peace patrol and green crew, please inquire in the office.  These extended learning experiences foster discovery, curiosity, and confidence as they acquire new skills.  

Student led conferences will be here sooner than we think.  Here is a copy of the letter sent home this week SLC fall  2023 letter.

Make sure to schedule your appointment with your classroom teacher.  This is a powerful learner centered practice that calls for the student (k-6th) to lead their conference.  Learn more about this practice by reading more on  the EL Education site -  Kinder SLC video

In the Expeditionary Learning model, teachers focus on teaching reading in all content areas so that our learners build knowledge of the world and make sense of content by reading, thinking, talking, and writing about compelling topics.  Our teachers also provide many opportunities for learners to read for joy, to satisfy innate curiosity, to revel in the pleasure of creative language, and to be transformed by interaction with other readers and writers.  

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

Home / School Connection

Coffee with the Principal

Our first coffee with the principal is coming this week.  Join us in the MPR for a casual conversation about our EPIC school.  This is a great opportunity to connect with our community, listen to ideas, discuss areas for improvement, and build community.  In honor of Hispanic heritage month, this month we will indulge in chocolate y churros.  Hope to see you there.

Family Day at Lunch

We are thrilled to bring back this special day to our families.  Throughout the year, we will invite two grade levels at a time to join your learner for lunch.  You can bring your student lunch or purchase lunch from our cafeteria.  We ask that families pre-register for this event.  A link will be sent out this week.  We hope to end the year with a family picnic for all grades in May.  This month we will host TK and 6th grade families.
