This week Conway hosted twenty-five school leaders from the EL Education West Region. Administrators from EL Schools in Oregon, Idaho, Sacramento, San Fransisco, Campbell, Ventura, Orange, and Tahoe area landed at Conway to experience how learning comes to life at Conway.
Their full day visit began with a welcome by our student ambassadors, Aubrey, Allison, Olive, Stella, Dulce, and Alejandro. These students explained how the day and life of an EPIC cougar is supported through the three dimensions of learning. Our ambassadors shared examples of high quality work and explained the process of receiving feedback and then applying feedback to improve their work during a morning tour.
Our Conway crew was treated to a hosted picnic lunch by EL Education where teachers and leaders were able to connect and answer questions. After lunch, student ambassadors returned to lead an outdoor tour of our Better World Day projects. These leaders were struck by all our students' confidence and ability to engage in in depth conversations about learning.
As a newly credentialed school, Conway has drawn national attention for its excellence in educational practices. Requests to tour our school are on the rise for both families interested in having students attend and other school leaders to see the practices firsthand.
We will continue to improve our practices and so that our students can achieve more than they thought possible. Thank you EL Education and our partner school leaders for the thoughtful words and kind, specific feedback that will continue to push us to continually improve.

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. We are in this together and believe, We Are Crew, not passengers.
In crew,
Principal Meglich
Week 23 - January 29th, 2023
Announcements -
Friendly reminder that the School of Choice Application closes on Tuesday, January 31st.
Typically, students attend the schools that serve the neighborhood attendance areas in which they live. However, EUSD does provide attendance options for parents and students in order to help meet the diverse needs and interests of students within the district. Students may apply for a School Choice Intradistrict Transfer to any school in the district. Submitting an application for School Choice does not guarantee enrollment in the desired school(s). Students who submit a school choice application by January 31, 2023, will be included in a random, unbiased lottery drawing. You will be notified by email in April 2023 regarding the results of the lottery.
Questions regarding the School Choice Intradistrict Transfer process should be directed to your principal, or to Integrated Student Supports at 760-432-2247.
