As we continue our strategic planning journey, we'd like to share a quick update. We recently held our initial planning meeting, bringing together a diverse group of 24 internal and external stakeholders, called the Strategic Planning Team. During this session, the team developed a strategic plan placemat outlining the proposed mission, vision, values, goals, and objectives for the district.

This placemat will be presented during our upcoming vetting sessions, where we’ll gather input and feedback from multiple stakeholders that represent not only our district but also our community. All stakeholder insights are essential to shaping our strategic plan, and we encourage your active participation. We cordially invite you to participate in one of these sessions scheduled in the Central Administration boardroom on October 1st or 2nd, 2025.

A three-step diagram titled "We're strategic planning!". Step 1: "Develop Draft Plan," showing two people with a plan and a target. Step 2: "Solicit Feedback," showing a group reviewing a document with feedback notes. Step 3: "Finalize Plan," showing two people looking at a completed plan with charts and a briefcase.

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!
