Rural Pac Meeting

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.
