Conrad Bi-Weekly Memo May 30, 2025

Principal's Message

As we enter the final two weeks of the school year, I want to take a moment to sincerely thank you for your continued support and partnership. This year has been filled with meaningful milestones, engaging events, and spirited athletic competitions—none of which would have been possible without your involvement.

Whether you were cheering from the sidelines, volunteering at school events, or supporting your child through academic challenges, your presence has truly made a difference. While the year is winding down, we still have exciting moments ahead—including cheering on our Varsity Baseball team and honoring our graduating seniors and 8th graders at their upcoming ceremonies.

I hope you are looking forward to a relaxing and enjoyable summer break. On behalf of our entire school team, thank you for helping make this year one to remember!

Conrad's first incentive day!

We’re excited to host our Student Incentive Day on Tuesday, June 3rd—a field day-style celebration to recognize the hard work our students have shown over the past few weeks during State testing and PSAT/SAT Day. We asked them to step up, and they did! High school students will participate from 9:30–11:30am & Middle school students from 12:00–2:00pm. With sunny weather in the forecast, we’re planning for a great day and would love your help in making it even better! While we will provide some refreshments, we’re asking for donations of water, snacks, and light treats to keep our students energized and refreshed.
