Principal Update
Hello Conway Families,
What a wonderful week we’ve had! The fun continued as we celebrated Red Ribbon Week and gathered together for our annual Halloween Parade. The creativity was on full display as students and staff dressed up, paraded around, and watched our inflatables have their moment in the spotlight! Having the whole school community come out and circle up brings me such joy.
As we head into the weekend, please remember that Daylight Saving Time ends this Sunday. Don't forget to turn your clocks back one hour! With the changing season, please also remember that Every Day Counts when it comes to student attendance and learning. Consistent attendance helps our students stay connected, engaged, and set up for success. School starts every day at 8am, with students expected to meet their teachers on the backstop, ready to learn, by 7:55am.
I wish all of our families a safe and happy Halloween! Enjoy the festivities, take care while trick-or-treating, and have a wonderful time celebrating together.
In Crew Always,
Krystle Miller

Latino Literacy Project Workshop Series
Literacy plays an essential role in the foundation of our children's education. Reading daily—especially as a family—builds essential cognitive skills, strengthens emotional bonds, and sets children up for long-term academic success. The purpose of this workshop is to help families build strong literacy roots at home.
Parents and adult family members are warmly welcome to join us Tuesday's after school or Friday mornings to read books rich in Hispanic culture in both English and Spanish! Together, we will read a story, discuss the vocabulary, create a fun craft, and share memories of our childhood and family roots.
Light refreshments will be provided. Participants are welcome to bring a snack to share, but it is entirely optional!

Toys At School
As a reminder, there are no outside toys allowed at school.
To help keep our school safe and our classrooms focused on learning, toys and personal play items should stay at home.
Please check your child’s backpack and pockets before school to ensure toys and other personal play items are left at home. Even keychains on backpacks can become very distracting during the day.
Please leave these items at home:
- Stuffed animals
- Toys and action figures
- Squishy toys, squishies, stress balls, and similar sensory toys
- Electronic games and gaming devices
- Labubus and similar collectible toys
- Sports equipment or other play items from home
Please do not send valuable items to school. The school is not responsible for personal items that are lost, stolen, or damaged.
Thank you for helping us keep our classrooms focused on learning and our school safe!

By taking a few minutes to complete this survey, you help shape the programs, resources, and services brought directly to our campus. Whether it’s academic support, after-school opportunities, or family resources, your feedback drives our success.
