On Saturday February 2, Conway Academy hosted a booth during the Love Esco Kick Off Party, where families and community members stopped by our Make Your Own Valentine Card station! Participants of all ages enjoyed getting creative—designing heartfelt cards, sharing kind messages, and spreading a little extra love throughout our community.

It was a joyful opportunity to connect, celebrate togetherness, and showcase the spirit of Crew beyond our school walls.
We look forward to participating again next year.

During our recent Crew with Principal Miller, families and staff enjoyed a warm and welcoming time together. Over delicious coffee and fresh pastries from A Delight of France, families connected in meaningful conversation, built community, and created heartfelt valentines for their loved ones.

It was a wonderful opportunity to strengthen our Crew culture—sharing laughter, stories, and quality time while celebrating the spirit of togetherness that makes our school community so special.

Parent engagement and participation were a key focus during our January ELAC meeting. Families who attended had the opportunity to ask questions directly to an ELPAC tester and received valuable tips and resources to help support their students in preparation for the ELPAC exam. These conversations helped families better understand the reclassification process and why it is an important milestone for English Language Learners, as reclassification gives students a deeper understanding of the grade-level curriculum, supports academic confidence, and promotes long-term student success.
Way to go Conway families!
