Let’s be honest, these tech heroes do way more than just fix Chromebooks and reset passwords. They are the digital guardians keeping our entire school network cybersafe and secure every single day. Behind the scenes, they're constantly fending off sneaky phishing attempts, locking down student data privacy, and testing software updates at odd hours so teaching never misses a beat.
Thank you for working hard behind the screens to keep our digital world safe and spinning. You are vital players on Team Conway! 🖥️🐾

This year marks my 20th year in education, and I am thrilled to return to PreK, where it all begins. As an educator, I love seeing students grow as they build a strong foundation for learning and confidence; watching them succeed is an exciting experience. I look forward to teaching our littlest cats and inspiring their joy for learning. Outside the classroom, I enjoy creating memories with my three children, traveling, and reading. I am grateful to start this next chapter at Conway schools with our youngest learners!

Conway Community,
You're invited to our District Wide Fall C.A.T. Forum—focused on Communication, Accountability, and Transparency!
Join us on Thursday, September 17th, from 6:00 to 7:00 PM at the Conway High School Lecture Hall. Our district leaders will share how we’re serving students, supporting our staff, and continuing to strengthen our community.
We’re also excited to provide updates on our strategic plan, Project Conway Forward (PC4W), which is dedicated to enhancing educational experiences and outcomes for all our students. You’ll hear about our initiatives, progress, and how we envision our future together.
This is a great opportunity to engage, ask questions, and be part of the conversation as we work towards our shared goals. Your voice matters, and we’d love to see you there!
Let’s come together to build a stronger Conway!

Welcome Back!
As students and staff return to school for another year, let’s all do our part in keeping safety at the forefront of our minds at school, at home, and on the road.
· Watch for school buses. Slow down and never pass a stopped school bus with its lights flashing.
· Drive safely in school zones. Slow down, pay attention, and watch carefully for students, parents, crossing guards, and school staff.
· Stay alert. It only takes a few seconds of distraction to change a life forever.
· School safety starts when we leave our homes. It doesn’t just depend on what happens inside our school buildings.
Let’s work together to ensure every student and staff member arrives at school and returns home Safe and Sound.
The volume of traffic will increase this week. Please be patient as we work together getting back in the routine of drop off and pick up.
Welcome back, Wampus Cats!
