📢 WCE Families
With the exception of kindergarten students, if you have not received any digital communication through Thrillshare/Rooms from your child’s teacher, please let us know.
👉 Email your child’s teacher and/or our office at wcoffice@conwayschools.info so we can look into the issue. Please be sure to include your child's full name and homeroom teacher.
Our communications provider is still working out a few kinks, and your feedback is very important in helping us ensure families are receiving updates.
