Incoming Kindergarten Night:  Calling ALL registered 2013-2014 kindergartners and families!!!!  We invite you to a special kindergarten night on May 16th from 5:00 - 7:00 here at Conway.  Come learn all about life as a kindergartner with all of your new friends at Conway.  The night will begin with a free pizza dinner followed by an evening of learning how to help get your kiddos ready for kindergarten.  Every family will leave with tons of great stuff to help support their child over the summer.  We hope to see you here for this great night. To help your planning, this evening is a scheduled evening and not an open house.  We will offer a special program for our new kindergartners while parents learn.  Unfortunately, we do not have the manpower to watch any other younger or older children.  We cannot wait to see you! 

Hoops & Habits: A new summer program is available for all Conway students.  Details available here.

Space Day T-Shirts: Space Day t-shirts can be ordered by printing and sending in this form. Hurry! Deadline is Monday, May 20!

Moving Up to Middle School:  Our school counselor, Lisa Snow, has developed a slideshow to help prepare our fifth graders and their families for the transition to middle school.  If you have PowerPoint, click here to view the slideshow.  Click here to view the presentation as a PDF.

Kindergarten Registration:
Kindergarten registration began March 18, 2013.  If you have an incoming kindergarten student, please register your child. Hiring decisions depend partly on enrollment numbers. Parents of incoming kindergartners are encouraged to consult this website for helpful tips in preparing your child for kindergarten. Documents needed for kindergarten registration are listed here.


26 Acts of Kindness:
Families are encouraged to take part in Conway's "26 Acts of Kindess" campaign, in support of the victims of the Newtown, Connecticut tragedy. Click here for more information or to print a new recording sheet.

Congratulations!
