In addition to a few updates below I wanted to share a link that might be helpful for you. If your child is in Kindergarten through 3rd grade you may have seen a UFLI Foundations Home Proactive sheet come home from time to time. This sheet is very helpful to the development of your child's reading skills, but it is often confusing. If you have been confused or just wonder how to do a part of the sheet, please click the you tube link below to watch the video.

Please arrive on time each day!
As Americans living in the melting pot of the world, nearly all of us have a connection to the global community, as well as to past and current events happening around the world. These connections may cause us to feel strongly one way or the other with regard to global conflicts, such as the ones presently occurring in the Middle East, Ukraine, and elsewhere. Our students are witnessing the division on all sides, and of course have their own opinions and reflections.

We have made a lot of progress with our drop-off and pick-up times since the start of school. Currently there is no wait in the drop off line after 8:55am, with only a short wait prior to 8:55. In the afternoon we have all cars loaded and gone by 3:20pm. This is amazing considering we are still loading 300 cars a day. Below I have outlined a few reminders to help our before and after school lines move even faster. If you do not want to sit and wait for a long period of time,

We had an amazing first day at Conley today! I hope your children came home with many stories of new friends and experiences from their day. If you were in the car pickup line today, I want to thank you for your patience. We loaded students into 310 cars today which is a very high number of cars for a school our size. Today was the first day and some of those numbers will decrease as our students begin their normal after school routines. We are using a release system to have students on the

I am excited to join your community as the principal of J. Michael Conley Elementary. I look forward to meeting you all as we continue your child's education in the 2022-23 school year. I assure you that I will continue to strive for excellence to match the effort and commitment that that you have come to know from Conley teachers and staff.
Three years ago, I was announced as the principal at Conley. At the time, I did not realize the challenges we would face due to the Pandemic. While we have faced many obstacles, the support provided by our parents and community have helped us through these times. I am extremely grateful, and appreciative, of our students, parents, faculty, staff, and surrounding community for joining together, trusting each other, and working hard to make sure our students were safe, healthy, and growing both academically and socially.
The Florida Department of Education released the 2021-2022 Florida Standards Assessment (FSA) 3rd Grade Reading scores. These scores are currently being posted to FOCUS. Conley will be contacting families today for those students who are eligible for our Summer Reading Academy, based on their score. If you are interested in viewing your student's scores, please visit parent portal through a desktop view, not the Portal Phone Application. Once logged in, click on "Test History" under the student's name, then click on the arrow next to the appropriate test with the most recent 2022 testing date.
Thank you for another great school year! These past three years have been a challenge for all of our students, parents, faculty, and staff, but everyone worked together to help our students grow. I am so proud of the progress our students have made this school year, both academically and socially. This growth is a result of the combined efforts of all of our stakeholders and I am excited to see their continued growth next year.
As a reminder, school dismisses at 12:20 today, tomorrow, and Wednesday. Wednesday is the last day of school. Please make arrangements to pick up your students, or be at the appropriate bus stop, early these next three days.
In previous years, Leon County Schools has requested that all secondary students eliminate bookbag use the last week of school.

It is a fun-filled week at Conley this week, as our 1st and 4th grade students both have scheduled field trips. It is exciting to see our students participating in events that have not been available for the past two school years. I look forward to similar experiences throughout the remainder of the school year, and beyond. Our 4th and 5th grade students participated in practice FSA testing this week as we prepare for their multiple testing days in May. Our students also conducted their monthly emergency drills this week. Progress reports were posted Wednesday. Please
This is a short week this week, with no school tomorrow, Friday, April 15th. All schools and district offices will be closed with students returning on Monday, 4/18.

It was a busy week this week at Conley. Our 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students started their Florida Standards Assessments (FSA) this week.

I spoke to all of our students prior to testing and asked each of them to simply try their best, and they did! Our 6th principal's AR challenge ends today, with rewards distributed next week. Our next round of room transformations also started today, with our 3rd grade classrooms transforming into bakeries. Our
Our 3rd grade students did an excellent job during testing today. Tomorrow, 4/6, is session two of FSA 3rd grade ELA Reading.

Thank you for all of you help and support!
Good morning. Over the weekend, geese visited our campus, made a nest, and potentially laid eggs. Since this has occurred, the geese have stayed close to the nest and been very protective of the area. Unfortunately, their nest sits between our playground and fields.
Due to this, we have transitioned our playground and recess areas to keep students away from the geese. Later this week, a wildlife expert is scheduled to assess the situation and determine the best outcome. Until that time, we will continue to remind students to stay clear of the nest and follow our modified recess plan.
We continued our 6th principal's AR challenge last week. This challenge window concludes on Friday, 4/8. Please continue to encourage your student to read! Report cards were posted last week. Please reach out to your student's teacher if you have any questions or concerns.
This week officially kicks off our state testing window. Our 3rd grade students will be taking their English/ Language Arts reading assessment on Tuesday and Wednesday, 4/5 and 4/6.

It has been an interesting week leading into Spring Break. I appreciate everyone's patience and understanding as we navigated through multiple days of severe weather. As a reminder, Spring Break is next week. There is no school Monday 3/14 through Friday 3/18. Our office will be closed during this time. Monday 3/21 is a teacher planning day and students return to school for the 4th nine weeks on Tuesday, 3/22.
Unfortunately, due to a continued threat of severe weather, we are postponing our field day activities. Field day will not take place tomorrow, 3/11. It will now be held on Friday, 3/25, with times remaining the same. Coach Vance will be reaching out to our volunteers to determine their availability. Thanks for your understanding, have a great day!
After Spring Break, all students in 3rd-5th grade will be starting our Bike Safety unit in PE. In order to be able to ride a bike at school, all students MUST wear a helmet. The Pilot Club of Tallahassee has been donating helmets to our program for many years and visited Conley today to fit every student that does not already have their own helmet that fits correctly. We also received some additional free helmets from another program called Florida PedBike to fill in any blanks in case the Pilot Club ran out of certain sizes. These
It's hard to believe we are one week away from Spring Break and the start of the final nine weeks of the school year. Our students and staff continue to work hard preparing students academically, socially, and emotionally for the coming years.

Please continue to emphasize the importance of reading and try to set aside time to read at home. We appreciate everyone's effort! Our Kindergarten classes finished their room transformations this week and our 4th grade classes participated Friday. These transformations will continue with all grade levels throughout the month. We also held our monthly safety drills last week, with the addition of a tornado drill. I am always impressed with the focus and
Our 4th Principal’s AR Challenge concluded this week. I can’t wait to reward our students who successfully completed this challenge!

Our 4th Principal's AR Challenge kicked off this week. Please continue to encourage your student to read and read with them at home. We are continuing our "Fresh Fridays" with hands-on activities this month, as well. This Friday, our 1st grade classrooms transformed into sweet shops. Our teachers have worked hard to transform their rooms and set up interactive, engaging activities. I am so proud of their effort and the effort and energy our students bring to the learning process.
This week is Student Services Week. School psychologists, social workers, counselors and nurses work extremely hard to support our students and staff. While you may not be familiar with all of their names, they support students at Conley, and across Leon County schools, daily. We appreciate all of their hard work!

We had a great time with Celebrate Literacy Week this week. We had a number of guests visit campus and read to our students and we celebrated reading with a variety of books and activities. I enjoyed seeing students dress up in their future careers. We have so many ambitious students and I know they will achieve their dreams! Our Kindergarten, 1st, and 3rd grade students participated in health screenings with the Department of Health this week. I received so many compliments about our students behavior from the DOH staff!
This week concluded our 3rd Principal's AR Challenge. I am excited to see which class met their goal and are reading outside of the classroom. I can't wait to give them their rewards! Speaking of rewards, our top reader in each class had a pizza lunch with the principal on Wednesday. I am very proud of all of them!
Last week was a great week at Conley! Students are settling in to their routines and our teachers are providing great educational opportunities for our students. Thank you, everyone, for your continued patience and understanding as we attempt to create a safe, positive educational environment for our students during these difficult times.

Over the past few days, we have received updates regarding health and safety procedures at the school level. With the safety of our students and staff at the top of our list of priorities, I want to assure everyone that many of the preventative measures we have had in place over the past two years will continue. This includes social distancing, frequent hand washing, additional cleaning and disinfecting, and teaching students proper healthy practices.
I hope everyone had a great winter break! The Conley faculty and staff is excited to start the second semester and welcome students back to campus tomorrow, January 5th. With a shortened week, our teachers will re-introduce classroom expectations and prepare students for the second semester. Please remember that you can e-mail teachers any questions or concerns you may have. Thank you, in advance, for understanding that their response may be delayed as they work with students most of the school day.
As we prepare for the holiday season, we want to thank you for your continued support of our school.
This week was filled with fun and exciting learning opportunities for students- classroom transformations, celebrations, and hands-on activities. We also had our 4-H Tropicana Speech Contest.

Good afternoon, Yellow Jackets!
It was a great week at Conley, which concluded with a number of activities today. Our Fresh Fridays continued, but we began our grade level room transformation activities. Our 5th grade Math and Science classes transformed their rooms into restaurants, focusing their lessons around that theme.

Other grade levels will be participating in similar events over the next week and I
As a reminder, in the event of a rainy day dismissal, our bus, van, and car lines will dismiss as normal. We will hold our walkers until approximately 3:00 and release them as normal if the weather allows. If the weather has not cleared by 3:00, however, we ask that parents plan on picking up walkers from the front of the school at our bus loop, once our busses clear. This will only apply to our walkers and only occur if the weather does not permit their traditional release.

Per the newly signed Florida Law HB 1B, beginning today, face masks or any other facial coverings will be optional for students and adults on Leon County School's campuses; however, parents may allow their child to wear a face mask or any other facial covering at their sole discretion.

We will continue to experience obstacles this year, but I know our Conley family will overcome these challenges and continue to grow academically, socially, and emotionally.

Good evening. Everyone has been doing an incredible job in helping maintain the health and safety of our students and staff at Conley.

We will require masks for both Pre-K-grade 8 students and district employees until September 6, Labor Day,
As a follow-up to my previous list serv, I have attached a Leon County Schools' medical opt-out form for mask wearing.

While all of these procedures will help reduce the possibility of COVID spread, it is critical that families monitor their household's health, keep students home if they have symptoms, and educate students on hand washing, social distancing and mask wearing.

To our Leon County School Families-
Summer is officially here for our students, and our teachers are completing their tasks in order to finish out their year as well. We are proud of our Safe Start and equally Safe Finish and are ready to begin looking ahead to the next school year.
Today was a wonderful last day of the 2020-2021 school year! I wanted to thank everyone- students, parents, teachers, and staff- for a great year. This year presented many unique challenges, but everyone's patience, flexibility, compassion, and grace made this year a success. I am appreciative to be a part of such a caring community, that was brought even closer together during this difficult year. This week, we held our 5th Grade promotion ceremonies, field days, and ended today with our final AR celebration and our student council sponsored twin day. I love the many activities
Today, I met with the yearbook company for an update on our school order. Unfortunately, this year's yearbooks will not arrive before students dismiss for summer tomorrow, 6/10. There are circumstances out of the school and company's control that have delayed their arrival. I am disappointed that the yearbooks are delayed but have worked with the company to provide options to our families who have ordered yearbooks.
As a reminder, today is an early release day. School will dismiss at 12:20 today, tomorrow, and Thursday. Please make the necessary arrangements to have your student picked up by this time. Have a great day!
We recently received notice that a Conley student tested positive for COVID-19. The student is currently home in quarantine.
An e-mail will be sent to students in the classroom, through FOCUS, and a letter will be distributed to the impacted class today. Contact tracing investigations will continue and you will be contacted directly if further actions are necessary. We believe, at this time, that social distancing was maintained and no further actions will be required.
Today is the last Friday of school for the 2020-2021 school year! It has been a great week, as our teachers begin the completion of their standards-based instruction and begin focusing on enrichment and end of year celebrations. Everyone has done a great job this year focusing on whole student growth- academic, social, and emotional, while navigating through the pandemic. It is great to see so many smiling faces and celebrations, they deserve it! We currently have about twenty yearbooks remaining for sale to celebrate the successes of the school year. The cost is $30 cash
