Stop by to meet your teacher, check out your classroom, say hi to the staff, and bring your school supplies!
Thank you for your patience as we learn our new Converse #1 app! Today at 8:00 AM we sent out a reminder about early release on Fridays. Unfortunately, the phone call displayed an incorrect number (from Little Rock, AR) instead of our Converse #1 phone number. We've corrected this issue and future calls will show the proper number. We also accidentally sent a duplicate message at 3:20 PM. If you did not receive the notifications, please contact your child's school. Thanks again for your understanding as we learn together!
Reminder: Early Friday Schedule Starts This Week!
📅 This Friday, August 22nd, all K-8 schools will begin the new early dismissal schedule, aligning with our high school.
