Conway Cougar Clothes
If you have old Conway Cougar logo clothes at home that no longer fit your children, please consider dropping the clothing off at school so we can outfit other students with Cougar gear. A red collection box is located in the lobby.

English Textbook Adoption
The Elementary English Textbook Adoption process is now underway. We have a committee consisting of one teacher and one parent from each of our 17 elementary schools, along with a special educator and an administrator. All grade levels are represented. The textbook committee is chaired by Janice Brunson, Elementary Literacy Coordinator.   Our buildings are filling up with beautiful textbook samples, and you are invited to come and view them at your school, at Alvin Bandy Central Office Complex in PDC room 16, or at England Run library.   A rating scale will be available to help guide your observations. The committee plans to eliminate three of the six programs under consideration by January 26, and then come to a final decision on one program by March 5.  The final choice will then be presented to the Division Committee for approval on March 19. Purchase will be contingent on next year’s budget. The textbook committee meetings are open to the public, and the schedule can be found on the Stafford County fusion page under Instructional Programs: Textbook Adoptions.

At Conway Elementary School,
 
 
Instruction meets the diverse needs of every student by utilizing current and creative instructional practices. Our instruction allows students to make meaningful connections to themselves and the world around them.
 
Curriculum is standards-based and is taught in an engaging and meaningful way that allows students to prepare for a productive life in all areas: academic, physical, social, emotional, and expressive. 
 
Conway Staff Members connect with every child by providing a safe and welcoming learning environment and by ensuring children are at the forefront of every decision made. Staff members provide a well rounded education for every student by communicating effectively with colleagues, students and parents; collaborating with specialists and other teachers to develop interventions and instructional strategies; and by providing meaningful learning experiences for every learner. Every staff member is committed to life long learning. 
 
Parents are positive and active advocates for their child and their school and are constant participants in their child’s education.  
 
Conway Cougars show respect towards themselves and others at Conway and throughout the community. Our students are self-motivated to learn and are responsible risk takers in their learning process. They give their best every day because of their love of learning. 

Our Mission
