TIGER NEWS

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Conway Elementary earned a Good Rating! The SC Department of Education issues school report cards, and the results reflect our students' academic achievement and the school’s environment.

A rating of “Good" indicates that our school’s performance exceeds the criteria to ensure all students meet the Profile of the SC Graduate. A big factor in our rating was the great work and daily instruction of our faculty and staff in addition to the high expectations set for students, parents, faculty, and staff.

We appreciate the support of our stakeholders, parents, and community of "the greatest school on the planet!"

We're over the moon about the care our special moon tree receives! Every week, the City of Conway's awesome community and city worker, Jarrod Brown, stops by to check on our tree, water it, keep our grounds beautiful, and—yes—even chat with it. Their faithful dedication helps our moon tree thrive and reminds us what great neighbors we have. Thank you, City of Conway, for showing our students that caring for our community starts with the little things. We're so grateful! 🌙🌳

Safety & Security

Our #1 goal is to ensure that Conway Elementary is a SAFE environment for our Tigers. To do this, we hold a variety of safety drills throughout the year. Safety drills enhance school safety by allowing students and staff to understand proper emergency procedures outside of a crisis situation. What drills will our Tigers participate in throughout the school year?

Fire Drill: Students and staff practice exiting the building in case of a fire.

Tornado Drill: Students and staff take safety position lining up along an interior wall or the safest area, in case of a tornado.

Earthquake Drill: Students and staff DROP, COVER and HOLD ON, getting under a table or desk if one is near, in case of an earthquake.

Intruder Drill: Our school has adopted the “I Love U Guys” Foundation’s Standard Response Protocol (SRP). Students and staff will be training, practicing, and drilling the protocol. You can learn more from the Standard Response Protocol Handout for Parents. https://bit.ly/45RDBKW

Weapons Detection Systems: ALL students and visitors must walkthrough a weapons detection system upon entry to the school. ALL visitors must present identification.
