Communicating Student Achievement

Week 9 - October 2nd, 2022

Greetings Conway Families,

As an Expeditionary Learning school, student achievement is communicated in ways that allow students to take the lead in speaking about their own learning.

At Conway, we create structures and procedures that support students to create, maintain, and present portfolios demonstrating growth and achievement during student-led conferences. During SLCs, our teachers involve students in the dialogue about assessment and communicating achievement. This practice supports students to develop speaking skills and to articulate what they have learned and speak to their own strengths, struggles, goals, processes of learning, and preparation for college and career success. We look forward to having 100% of family participation in our first Student Led Conferences for this year.

It was an EPIC farewell to our Librarian, Mrs. Stencel this Thursday. We will miss her but are excited for her next adventure in Arizona and wish her well. Students sent her off with notes of gratitude and Conway swag.

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

In crew,

Principal Meglich

Communicating Student Achievement

Don't forget! Student Led Conferences are next week on October 6th (7:30 am to 3:00 pm & 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm) & 7th (7:30 am to 11:30 am). Please check with your student's teacher for your appointment date/time. Remember: there will be NO SCHOOL during conferences. Even though there will be no classes during these two days, Conway students are leaders of their own learning and must attend the appointment with you! See you all here!

For GATE identification this year, all 2nd grade students will participate in universal screening in November. Parents who would like to recommend students in grades 3-8 who have not previously been screened can pick up the Parent Background and Input Form in the front office of their child’s school starting on September 26, and should return it to the school by Friday, October 14. A school team will review requests and determine which students will be eligible to be screened in November. For more information, please visit our district website or stop by your school office.
