Student Ownership of Learning

Week 10 - October 9th, 2022

Greetings Conway Families,

As an Expeditionary Learning school, we know that Student Led Conferences are a high-leverage practice that empowers students to take a lead role in communicating their learning. This past week our students scheduled times to bring their family onto campus to share their portfolios of learning. SLCs bring the family in as a partner in the child’s growth and creates an opportunity for the family to listen to their student present herself with candor and clarity, even when there are challenges. Teachers work hard to prepare the students to be ready to articulate as a well prepared presenter. And most importantly, it puts students at the helm of their growth as learners.

Following each conference, parents are asked to provide our school feedback for continual growth. If you have completed our survey, thank you! If not, please take a moment to scan the QR and provide us crucial feedback.

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

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.
