Mrs. Willcutt and Mrs. Daniel's WIN classes had a wonderful time working together to bake delicious chocolate chip cookies! Students practiced teamwork by taking turns measuring ingredients, mixing the dough, and following each step of the recipe. Along the way, they learned new cooking vocabulary and applied real-life math skills while measuring and counting. The sweet smell of freshly baked cookies filled the room, and everyone enjoyed tasting the results of their hard work and cooperation! We had enough to share with office staff. Mrs. Oates gave it two thumbs up with a smile.

Mrs. Willcutt's reading class added a touch of fun to fluency practice by using “googly eye readers”! Students loved wearing their silly readers while tracking words, which made reading practice lively and engaging. This playful activity encouraged focus, expression, and confidence as students read aloud—proving that learning can be both effective and full of laughter!

📣 Help Shape the Future of Conway Public Schools! 🐾
Conway Public Schools, in partnership with the Conway Area Chamber of Commerce and Conway Development Corporation, has launched a Strategic Planning Steering Committee to help guide our district through 2026 and beyond.
We’re working with the Winthrop Rockefeller Institute (WRI) to gather input from parents, students, staff, local employers, and community members. Your feedback will help us understand what’s working well, where we can improve, and how we can best prepare Conway students for lifelong success.
Please note, the survey will close on November 30, so be sure to share your thoughts before then. This is an important opportunity for every parent to have a voice in shaping the future of Conway Public Schools. The feedback collected will inform both our Strategic Readiness Plan for 2025–2026 and the long-range strategic plan being developed by the Steering Committee.
💬 We want to hear from YOU—our community!
Your perspective as a citizen and taxpayer is vital as we make decisions that impact our schools and our city’s future.
📩 A Parent Survey and Staff Survey has also been emailed to all CPSD families and staff, so if you have a child in or work for Conway Public Schools, please take a few minutes to complete it!
🗳️ CPSD Citizen/Taxpayer Survey:
