We can't wait to see our students and families tonight. Please take time to visit with your child's teacher and visit the information tables in the cafeteria.
We have a goal of 100% completion of our free/reduced lunch forms. You can help by completing this form online- even if you believe you do not qualify. This puts funding into our school!

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. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zCxMNvvsVQ_hgOIKS4pN600w0UbEZrePZnpkNxQZAsA/edit?usp=sharing
