Conway Catch-Up
June 5th
Goooooood Morning #OneFamily!
Last week of the 2020-2021 school year!!!!!! You DID IT Conway #OneFamily! What a year! What a year. You did it though. 4 more days! :) Here is a quick summary of the big events this week:
- Monday: Today is a school day. Send your kiddo to school like it is a normal day today -5th grade Moving On Ceremony night for Mrs. Yealy, Mrs. Millhausen, and Mrs. Loveday. Please see the schedule and all of the Covid information here.
- Tuesday: Today is an asynchronous day. Keep them home today. No morning meeting today. This is due to our schools being used as voting precincts. 4th and 5th grade virtual students do still come to school today to take their SOL assessment.
- 5:00 - 6:00: Kindergarten Drive Through Celebration (weather permitting).
- Wednesday: Regular school day. DJ and ice cream party day.
- 5th grade Moving On Ceremony night for Butler, Keefer, and Pelletier. Please see the schedule and all of the Covid information here.
- Thursday: Last day of school! Regular day.
- Friday: First day of summer vacation for kiddos.
- Monday, June 14th: All Conway Alumni who are graduating high school or college are welcome to come to Conway at 11:00 PM for pictures in the front of the school and for a Conway gift to congratulate them. Please spread the word.
Report cards will be emailed home with all of the end of year information by Monday, the 14th.
I Need Your Help: There is no better way to thank an educator than with specific praise from their customers, YOU. We would LOVE your help in making that possible. Please take two minutes to type a shout out on this document to any or multiple staff members that have gone above and beyond for your child or your family this year! We thank you greatly for taking the time to do this. We will share these quotes with them on Friday.
I will most likely still send out a weekly newsletter with updates over the summer to keep you informed as best as we can. Please also check out happenings on my Youtube Channel, Facebook, and Twitter. We have quite a bit of information to share about the coming year, but let's get through these next few crazy days first.
Thanks, truly, for all you did this year to support your kiddo, to support us, and to make the best out of this unbelievable year. It was an honor to join forces with you to continue to help our kiddos become the best leaders they can be. Get some rest, relaxation, and get recharged. We do it all over again (with a few less crazy bumps in the road hopefully) in two months!
Congrats and have a great week!
Much love,
JR :)
