The Conway Public School District School Board Recap

June 10, 2025

For the benefit of our parents, families, staff, and community members who are unable to attend CPSD's monthly board meetings, this summary is provided for clarity and convenience.

WAMPUS CAT PRIDE

Picture of PTO presidents

During our Wampus Cat Pride Recognition, we celebrated the outstanding parent leaders serving on PTOs across our district. These dedicated volunteers organize Teacher Appreciation Week celebrations, fundraise for classroom supplies and playground equipment, and continuously support our staff and students. Their efforts build community, lift morale, and make a meaningful difference in our schools. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all PTO parents for the time, creativity, and passion they bring to Conway Public Schools.
