Dear Parents/Guardians and Stakeholders,
Conway Middle School is a community-serving middle school with a deep tradition of pride and service of 650 students in grades 6-8. Our school is helping all students develop the world-class skills and life and career characteristics of the Profile of the South Carolina Graduate by upholding “Every Student Matters, Every Moment Counts” in academics, the arts, and athletics. Conway Middle School offers a robust academic program that allows students to earn high school credit in the following courses: Algebra I, Geometry, English I, and Fundamentals and Computing.
Additionally, our school offers various programs in Fine Arts that provide opportunities for students to build skills to enhance them and prepare a whole-rounded child with skills that will be utilized throughout their lives. These programs include band, orchestra, chorus, visual and digital arts. Our students have excelled in these programs at the district and state levels by participating in All-County Band, All-County Chorus, and All-State Chorus. Our staff development plan has focused on implementing practices that promote teacher clarity and increase student engagement. We implement Kagan structures to encourage and develop self-direction, work ethic, and interpersonal skills in classroom collaborative learning. Students use digital content daily, enhancing their understanding of core academic content while taking advantage of the Horry County Schools 1:1 personalized digital learning initiative. Our teachers and students have experienced success with technology tools that include but, are not limited to iReady, USA Test Prep, Google Classroom, Schoology, and Discovery Education. We continue to make intentional data-driven instructional decisions to promote student learning. Our School Improvement Council and PTO are engaged in overall belief in our school's motto of Making Every Moment Count by providing parental support for our Clubs and Organizations, PBIS (Positive Behavioral Intervention Support), Fine Arts programs, athletics, Beta Club, robotics, Archery, Chess, and our state-sponsored Garden Club. Our students are the purpose of our work at Conway Middle School. We believe, “Every Student Matters, Every Moment Counts”! We are grateful for your investment in our students and your support of our school.
Sincerely,
Regina Treadwell Pertell, Principal
Bernita Platt, School Improvement Council Chair
