Conway Elementary School

We truly love Conway Elementary School! (And we are picky!) Our son has attended K-​4 here and we have had dedicated teachers and all the help we could want. The best thing about Conway Elementary is the principal, Mr. Raybold. This man is incredible — he’s a great leader for the teachers, he’s a great parent/​student advocate, and he is just very warm and loving while being strong where needed. I’d like to share a little bit about our personal experience that really showed us how special this team is. Our son got very ill one year and spent a few months in a Children’s Hospital in DC. This was of course hard on and terrifying for our family. I don’t know what we would have done without the support we got from Conway! Mr. Raybold, his assistant principal, Tracy Edwards, and our teacher at the time, Mary Wardlaw did EVERYTHING in the world to help us keep our kiddo on track and get him back into school with his new needs without blinking! Mrs. Wardlaw coordinated with a teacher in the hospital, sent work up to us, even came and visited. Mrs. Edwards arranged all our son’s PT and OT and new bus to accomodate his wheelchair and even helpers should he need them– all within one day (and continued for the next 2 years when needed)! They thought of everything we would have never even known to ask and were absolutely amazing! My son is back to full health now, walking again, running in the funathon, and high-​fiving Mr. Raybold in the hallways like all the kids do (which we weren’t sure he’d ever be able to physically do again) and, yes we have so many to thank for this, but Conway is very high on that list! (And a special shout out to Kayla in the office– she goes above and beyond every day for all of us and is a great representative of this school!) Conway– its leader and teachers and team– not only give our kids the best education, but stand by our families and truly give you a sense of community pride! I highly recommend Conway to all parents who want the very best for their kids and families!
