Hello to the amazing families of Cony,
It is hard to believe that we are in May already. We are on our last 7 weeks of school. Here are the happenings in May.
Testing
We are coming up on Spring Testing. AP testing is happening for the first two weeks of May. We have the NWEAs for Grades 7 & 8 on May 13th and 14th and testing for Grades 9 & 10 on May 20th.
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.
Concerts
Our Music Department is hosting their end of the year concerts. Please join us in the Viles auditorium at Cony for one or all of these concerts.

Special Olympics
Our Special Olympics team is representing Cony at the Kennebec Spring Games Special Olympics program at Hall-Dale on May 14th and rain date on May 15th. We are so excited for our team and their peer helpers. Our school will send them off with our annual Special Olympics parade. The team will make their way through the hallway before they journey out to get on their bus.
International Potluck Dinner
We are hosting our annual International Potluck dinner on Tuesday, May 27th at 5:30 in the Cony Food Court. Come enjoy food from around the world with neighbors and friends. Bring your favorite dish to share.
6th Grade Transition
To transition our 6th graders into 7th graders, we are hosting a 6th grade Step Up Day on Tuesday, June 3rd. 6th graders will visit Cony to get a tour, eat lunch, see lockers, learn about extracurriculars, hear from our Music Department and learn about transitioning to Cony. We are hosting an evening presentation for 6th grade parents on Wednesday, June 5th at 6:00pm.
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
8th Grade Promotion is scheduled for Thursday, June 12th at 6:00pm 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. Please contact Lauri Chambers regarding ticket needs. We will do this on a first-come, first served basis.
Senior Graduation
We are hosting Class Day on Friday, June 13th at 2:30 in the Cony auditorium. The Project Graduation committee is sponsoring a Car Parade after Class day. Cony Graduation is scheduled for Sunday, June 15th at 4:00pm at the Augusta Civic Center (seniors need to be there by 3:30). A group of parents have put together an amazing Project Graduation event after graduation for Cony graduates. Cony graduating seniors are invited to celebrate with their classmates from 8:00-4:00am at Cony on the night of graduation. GREAT job to the parent who have volunteered their time for this celebration.
Happy Spring!
Kim Liscomb, Principal
