To allow for additional parking for first day drop off, we invite our kindergarten families to extend the tardy bell to 9:00. This is for the first day of school only. Families may park and walk their student to the kindergarten hallway. Teachers will still be available to receive walkers, car riders, and bus riders at 7:45.

CPSD Bell to Bell No Cell
At Conway Public Schools Elementaries, we believe school is a place for students to learn, grow, and build good relationships with others. To help keep our classrooms focused and follow state guidelines, students should not use personal electronic devices during the school day. This includes cell phones, AirPods, wireless headphones, and smartwatches. We ask that all devices be turned off and kept in backpacks during school hours.
