Community Crew News #28
March 3rd, 2024
Greetings Conway Community!
As an Expeditionary Learning school, it is important to us that we celebrate both students and our staff in whole-group school settings. Our weekly Crew Celebration assembly is a time to honor our students achievements, but equally important is to honor our amazing adult crew too. This week we were honored to recognize Mrs. Muehl, our SAI para-educator that exemplifies all the qualities our EPIC character traits in all she does. In fact, she goes above a beyond to meet the needs of our students. For all these qualities and her continued commitment to providing exceptional service, we are honored to recognize her as Conway's classified employee of the year.
Trimester 3 Begins!
LOST & FOUND
Our bin is overflowing again. Please have your student look for any lost items. Families are welcome to look through it after school or on Thursday's during our Crew Celebration. All items not claimed will be donated over spring break. Your students jackets, water bottles, sweaters, coats, caps, gloves etc all miss your student. Please stop by and find those missing pieces.
National Social Worker Week March 3 -9th
The first full week of March social workers across the nation are honored. Our school social workers are an integral link between school, home, and community in helping students learn and grow socially, emotionally, and academically. Miss Daisy joined us in January and quickly started forming meaningful relationships with students and staff. She is often the link between school and home providing essential counseling, intervention, crisis management and so much more. She has made a significant impact in a short period of time.
Let's show her how much we appreciate her this week! Drop off items, room 22.
Monday - Bring her a flower
Tuesday - Write her a note of appreciation
Wednesday - Bring her a sweet treat
Thursday - Draw her a picture
Friday - Surprise her!
Social workers do help us put the pieces together.
Communication is extremely important to everyone at our EPIC school. Please make sure to scroll all the way through the weekly message. If you miss a message, you can view all communication on our website under "NEWS".
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.

Who can participate and receive services?
Students need regular dental care (2-4 times per year) to have and maintain a healthy mouth and teeth. If your child already has a dentist, you can continue seeing your regular dentist. If your child does NOT have a dentist, or has not been to a dentist in over 6 months, then your child is eligible for this program.
If your child is currently enrolled in Medi-Cal, please provide your insurance information and we will bill Medi-Cal for the services rendered. If your child is uninsured, we will see them at no-cost to you.
What will my child receive through this program?Your child will be seen by a Dentist or Registered Dental Hygienist on-site at your child’s school. The dental team may provide some of these services for your child:
Complete Dental Exam
Teeth Cleaning
Fluoride treatment
X-rays
Pictures of his/her teeth
Sealants
What should I do if I want my child to participate?
Please complete this digital form to enroll.
