Cougar Pride News

Conway Elementary School - December 4, 2023

Hello Cougar Families!

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday! We have had a great week back at school and we are getting into the holiday spirit. Our holiday band/chorus concert will be tomorrow in the CES Gym at 6:00. Please feel free to wear your most festive attire. The week before the break we will run our annual holiday store for students to find gifts for their family members and we will do a fun spirit week as well. Our K-Kids will send out more information as we get closer.

On December 17, the American Legion will be hosting a fun holiday event for students. There will be sleigh rides with Santa and a small Christmas party with gifts. If you would like to attend this event, and have your child receive a gift, please fill out the following FORM. Your child must attend the event to receive their gift.

Every School Day Counts

It is so important that students are here every day because every school day counts. Students are much more successful academically when they are in school on a consistent basis, but they are also more successful socially as it takes time to build strong relationships with their teacher and peers.

School hours are 9:00AM - 3:15PM. If your child is going to be absent, please be sure to call the main office, prior to 9:00AM to let us know. The number is 603-447-3369.

As long as your child is healthy, please encourage showing up to class when school is in session. Every day of school is an important opportunity for students to learn as well as connect to peers and their teachers.

Important Reminders

If you are picking up your student in the afternoons, please be sure to put out the name card up on your dashboard to be seen. Also, please keep two lanes of traffic until you reach the corner of the brown building (Music Room).
Our main form of communication with parents is through email. Please make sure that your email is updated in PowerSchool. It is extremely important that we have all of your contact information in case of an emergency with your child. Please update any home or cell phone numbers in PowerSchool. We have found that many parents voice mailboxes are full or they have not set up their voicemail. We ask that you also update your emergency contact names and phone numbers.
If there is a change in routine for your child's afternoon plans please communicate them with your child's teacher and the main office by sending a note into school, an email, or a phone call.
Students may bring devices (phones, ipods, smart watches etc.) to school. However, the devices will be placed in backpacks for the duration of the school day. CES is not responsible for lost or missing items.
For any student to be able to receive free meals, families must take one of the following actions:
