Probably no need to be so specific - you are correct. It is a conjunction, but is specifically a 'coordinating conjunction' versus a subordinating conjunction (because, although, while, ...) or a correlative conjunction (both...and, not only...but also, either...or,...)


(My daughter had to write an essay back in the 9th grade filled with the different types of conjunctions)
