This is a reminder for families attending Valentine’s parties today that all visitors must bring a valid form of identification and check in through the front office using our new check-in system before going to classrooms.
Please note that this new system may take longer than usual, so we strongly encourage you to arrive early to allow enough time to check in and avoid missing any part of your child’s party.
Additionally, with this new system, all students must be checked out through the system if you plan to take your child home after the party.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we work to keep our campus safe and secure. We appreciate your help in making today a fun and smooth celebration for everyone!
We look forward to celebrating with you.

📌 Important Check-In Reminder:
As we pilot a new front office check-in/check-out system, all adults will be required to have a valid form of identification scanned before being allowed into the building to attend parties or other school events, even if it was previously scanned with our old system. This process takes a bit longer the first time your ID is scanned than our old system.
⏱️ To help make party day run smoothly, we STRONGLY encourage parents/guardians to stop by the front office anytime TODAY during school hours to have their ID scanned ahead of time. This will greatly expedite the check-in process on class party day.
Thank you for your cooperation and support as we roll out this new system in every attempt to keep our students and staff safe. We can't wait to celebrate with our students!
Alerts Recipients

The district is now accepting parent referrals for Gifted & Talented services for the spring testing cycle.
GT services are designed to support students who demonstrate advanced learning needs in areas such as
reasoning, problem-solving, and creativity. Identification is based on multiple measures and is not something
students need to study or prepare for.
🗓 Parent Referral Deadline: March 9
📄 Parent Referral Form: https://forms.gle/h7Lz51cMTfAjUres7
Please note: Teachers have been sent a separate referral link via email. Teacher Referral deadline is March
6th.
If you have questions about the GT referral or identification process, feel free to contact your campus or the GT
coordinator: reynoldsa@conwayschools.info. You may also visit the website for more information.
Thank you for helping us ensure all students receive the services they need to grow and thrive!

Scald burns are one of the most common burn injuries in children, but they’re preventable. Keep kids safe by turning pot handles inward, keeping hot drinks out of reach, setting water heaters no higher than 120°F, and never leaving children unattended near hot water.
If a burn happens: cool with cool (not cold) water, remove clothing from the area, cover with a clean dry cloth, and seek medical care.
Let’s work together to prevent burns and protect our kids.
