This week, a group of our dedicated educators are attending professional development training at our distict wide PD Palooza 2025—because their commitment to students doesn’t take a vacation.

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
