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.

Please help us welcome Mrs. Audrey Cooper to the Vann team! She will serve as our new instructional coach.
Mrs. Cooper shares: "As a proud Conway native, I bring over 13 years of experience in education—most recently teaching first grade at Ellen Smith Elementary. I am passionate about supporting teachers, empowering students, and fostering a culture of continuous growth. I earned both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of Central Arkansas and later completed my K–6 Special Education Endorsement at the University of Arkansas at Monticello. This year, I am also honored to be part of the IMPACT Arkansas Instructional Leadership Fellowship. Through this program, I look forward to expanding my skills in coaching, leadership, and systems-level thinking to better serve our teachers and students. I am married to my wonderful husband Marcus. We have three amazing children, a sweet granddaughter, and a very spoiled beagle named Jordan. In my free time, I enjoy singing and spending time with family and friends."
