Beginning of a new year and new semester:

  Turning the calendar to 2025 is a big deal as we begin a new calendar year.   It also marks the start of the second semester.   No matter how a student performed in the first semester, the second semester is a chance for a fresh start for everyone.   Coming off of a long break, some students have a hard time getting back into the school setting and daily schedule.  It is important during this time to check on them to make sure they are getting things turned in and are progressing with their grades.  If you see any issues, please contact your child’s teacher as soon as possible.  

    The snow/ice/cold weather hit hard ringing in the new year.   Just a reminder – the decision to call off school or have school is a difficult one.  It is also made based on the general population.   In Kansas, a few miles can make a large difference in snow drifts, etc… As always – if school is in session, but your student cannot safely make it to school – those absences will be excused.  You simply need to call your student’s school office and let us know that they will not be here due to the weather.  

 As always - I truly appreciate the support that this community shows for our students and our school.  Conway Springs is a great place to raise children!!
