4:18 PM: We will continue to monitor the power outage situation throughout the night. Information regarding the school day on Friday, November 14, 2025, will be announced no later than 5:00 am. If power IS restored and stable, we will have a normal early-out school day.  If power IS NOT restored and stable, school and activities will be cancelled. Thank you for your partnership and patience.  The CCSD#1 website and app will have the most up-to-date information.

2:01 PM: All schools are currently without power, and phone service is intermittent. We expect power to fluctuate until school releases at its normal time.

Converse County School District is currently affected by the widespread electrical outage affecting Rocky Mountain Power customers.  The current state of our schools is as follows:

  • High School: normal operations

  • Middle School: limited power, phones are not working 

  • Upper Elementary: limited power, phones are working

  • Intermediate School: limited power, phones are not working

  • Primary School: normal operations

  • Central: normal operations

  • White: no power, phones are working

  • Shawnee: normal operations

  • Dry Creek: normal operations

  • Moss Agate: no power, phones are working


If you need to get a message to any school without working phones, please call 307-358-2942 instead. This will connect you to our main office at Central Administration, and we will relay the information.

Due to power surges, we may need to shut down power to the schools to protect equipment. At this time, school will dismiss as usual. We will provide updates as the situation changes.

A social media graphic for Converse County School District #1 with the text "ALERT!" and "Important Announcement." An exclamation point is on either side of "ALERT!" and a red megaphone points to the announcement.
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!
