Hello to the amazing families of Cony,
Choices Matter Assembly Tuesday, April 1st
We are doing an assembly during Period 4 on Tuesday, April 1st called Choices Matter. It is a program hosted by the Maine Bureau of Highway Safety. The presentation is about driving safely. This is for Grades 11 and 12 and some grade 10 students.
End of the Quarter-April 4
The end of Quarter 3 is Friday, April 4th. Quarter 4 will begin on Monday, April 5th. Report cards will go out once we finalize all of the grades.
Aspirations Day-Tuesday, April 8th
We are hosting Aspirations Day on Tuesday, April 8th. Every grade level is involved in some sort of post secondary planning activities. The activities are possible through a MELMAC grant. We are so excited to help your students start to plan for high school and after graduation from Cony.
Testing
We are coming up on Spring Testing. We have the NWEAs for Grades 7, 8, 9, and 10. We have the Science testing for Grades 8 and 11. We have our AP Testing and SAT Testing.
Our first test is for Grade 11 Science testing scheduled for Tuesday, April 15th. Juniors will take this test by homeroom in their assigned area.
The NWEAs and Grade 8 Science is happening in May.
Day of Caring for Middle and High School
Every year we partner with the United Way to participate in a Day of Caring. This is scheduled for April 30th for the High School and May 7th for the Middle School. During this day, student volunteer with their homeroom teachers to help make a difference in our community.
Consistent Attendance Leads to Student Success!
Regular attendance is key to staying on track academically and preparing for the future. In middle and high school, each day of learning builds on the last, and missing even a few classes can make it difficult to keep up with coursework. Attendance impacts grades, participation, and readiness for college, careers, and beyond.
As we look toward the last few months of the school year, we want to encourage all of our students to be an active student by being at school everyday. Families play a crucial role in helping students establish responsible habits—arriving on time, staying engaged, and making school a priority. Let’s work together to build a strong culture of attendance, because every day in class makes a difference!
End of the School Year
The end of the school year is right around the corner. Here are some important dates for our 8th graders and 12th graders who are both making BIG transitions.
8th Grade Promotion is scheduled for Thursday, June 12th with a dance following the ceremony sponsored by the Middle School Parent Group and Cony Admin. Because of the limited space in the auditorium, each student will get 5 tickets. We will send the tickets out later in the school year. If you don't need all of the tickets, be sure to give them back. If you need more than 5 tickets, we will try to provide additional tickets from those who don't need all 5 tickets. Please know that we plan to LiveStream the event as well. We will send out a more detailed letter soon.
12th grade Graduation is scheduled for Sunday, June 15th at 4:00pm at the Augusta Civic Center. A group of parents have put together an amazing Project Graduation event after graduation for Cony graduates. We are hosting Class Day on Friday, June 13th at 2:30 in the Cony auditorium. We will send a more detailed letter soon.
Finally, congratulations to our own Lauri Chambers who was selected among a competitive pool of nominations for the Secretary of the Year Award through the Maine Principal's Association. We are so lucky to work with her everyday.
Happy Spring!
Kim Liscomb, Principal
