Principal Update
Hello Conway Families,
As the school enters this season of gratitude, the entire Conway staff and I would like to take a moment to thank the incredible volunteers who make the school community thrive.
Volunteers truly power Conway. Whether they are helping students cross the street safely in the morning, reading to our students one one one, bringing energy to the Fall Festival and special events, making copies, laminating, and cutting materials for teachers, or supporting fieldwork, parent groups, and community leadership—their time and dedication make a lasting difference in the daily lives of students and staff. We simply could not do this work without them!
Families who would like to join the volunteer team and are not yet cleared to help on campus or during fieldwork are encouraged to reach out to Xochitl Maldonado, Conway's Family Liaison, to get started [email protected] You can also join the Volunteer Club, which meets twice a week: Mondays at 1:30 PM Wednesdays at 8:00 AM.
Whether you want to help for a special event or have time weekly to give, every bit helps. It truly takes a village to help our Cougars grow, and Conway is deeply grateful for the community's ongoing partnership and support.
In Crew Always,
Krystle Miller

Conway Community Schools W.H.O. Crew - Meal Train
One of our beloved school families is going through a challenging health season and could use some extra support from our community. To help ease their daily routine, we’re organizing a meal train over the next few weeks. They are a family of six, two adults and four kids 16 and under. They don't have any food or dietary restrictions.
If you have the time and the means to help out with a meal, please sign up on the date that works best for you. Meals can be dropped off between 2- 2:30 pm in the front office on the day that you sign up. One of our Conway staff will deliver the meal to the family.
Thank you in advance for truly showing what it means to be EPIC!

Attitude of Gratitude
Cultivating an "attitude of gratitude" is blooming across our campus! Thank you to all the students, staff, and community members who added their beautiful messages to our Gratitude Tree. Every note of appreciation reminds us how fortunate we are to have such a caring and connected school community!
Salvation Army Angel Tree Resource
Every child deserves to experience the joy of Christmas morning. The Salvation Army Angel Tree program helps provide Christmas gifts for hundreds of thousands of children around the country each year. Once a child or senior adult has been registered and accepted as an Angel their Christmas wish list is shared with donors in your community who purchase gifts of new clothing and toys. The gifts are distributed to the family to place under their family Christmas tree.
This is a free resource available to families experiencing hardship. For more information regarding this program and the registration process, please click on the button provided below.
Community School Needs Survey
At Conway Academy, our crew works best when we work together! The Community School Needs Survey gives us the opportunity to better understand how we can support our students, families, and neighborhood.
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.
