To celebrate the grand opening of Burlington's new store in Conway, AR, Burlington and AdoptAClassroom.org have generously donated $5,000 to our very own Preston and Florence Mattison Elementary School.
Superintendent Dr. Jeff Collum and Principal Shannon Black were honored to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony, where they received the donation on behalf of the school. This support will go a long way in providing valuable resources for our students and teachers.
On behalf of the Conway School District and the staff at Preston and Florence Mattison Elementary, we extend our heartfelt thanks to Burlington and AdoptAClassroom.org for their commitment to education and our community. We look forward to seeing the positive impact this partnership will bring!

🍎Incoming Kindergarten Students🌟
Conway Public Schools will prepare Kindergarten students to begin their first year in education. This year, beginning August 19, 2024, all kindergarten students will participate in Wampus Kitty Kinder Camp!
Week of August 12 - Open House (check your school’s schedule for date/time - link below)
During Open House, you and your child will meet all of the kindergarten teachers, administrators, tour the school, and Kindergarten classrooms. Your child will have an opportunity to meet other children, so they recognize some familiar faces on the first day of school!
August 19 - First Day of School
Kindergarten students will begin at 9:00 a.m. on the first day. We welcome parents and guardians to walk your child into the building and bring them to the designated area.
August 19-23 - Wampus Kitty Kinder Camp
During the first week of school, Kindergarten students will spend time with each Kindergarten teacher in a classroom. They will participate in a variety of fun activities, learn their school and classroom procedures, routines, and meet new friends and classmates. We will learn your child’s strengths and areas where they excel by administering the district Kindergarten Readiness Assessments.
August 23 - Teacher Reveal!
At the conclusion of Wampus Kitty Kinder Camp, your child will bring home a scratch off card revealing their assigned Kindergarten teacher for the school year!
August 26 - Welcome to Class!
Your child will report to their classroom to begin a wonderful year of learning with their assigned teacher. We welcome you to walk your child to class the first day!
Teachers look forward to meeting your child and learning their unique needs to ensure their growth and development in the upcoming year! If you have questions, please reach out to the principal. We are excited about this opportunity and look forward to seeing you soon!
