Let’s be honest, these tech heroes do way more than just fix Chromebooks and reset passwords. They are the digital guardians keeping our entire school network cybersafe and secure every single day. Behind the scenes, they're constantly fending off sneaky phishing attempts, locking down student data privacy, and testing software updates at odd hours so teaching never misses a beat.
Thank you for working hard behind the screens to keep our digital world safe and spinning. You are vital players on Team Conway! 🖥️🐾

Mr. Albert has been part of the Conway Schools family for eight years, serving in several different roles along the way. This year, he’s joining our Courtway team as our ISS Paraprofessional!
Outside of school, Mr. Albert enjoys basketball, classic cars, dogs, and spending time with his family. And here’s a fun fact—we’re still trying to wrap our heads around this one: his son has the same name AND the same birthday as him! 😄
We’re excited to have Mr. Albert as another important piece of our Courtway team! 🧩

All car riders must be picked up from their designated locations:
• 5th grade: Cafeteria
• 6th & 7th grades: Safe Room
For safety, students are not allowed to walk across or off campus to meet vehicles. Students remain inside in a safe, climate-controlled area until our staff makes contact with their ride and calls them out. Our cameras also record the vehicles students enter as an added safety measure.
Help us continue to keep kids safe with strict compliance to this procedure. If you have questions or concerns, please contact Mr. Etters at 501-450-4832.
