During this time of uncertainty and social distancing, Be assured I’m still here to help you and your family get through this time in any way I can.

Due to high usage of phone lines for phone sessions, it may be difficult to reach staff to schedule. If you have any questions or needs, contact me directly via email at paula@conwaycps.com.

During these troubling times, we want to encourage all of our students and families to be, in the words of Mister Rogers, “good neighbors” and to be “the helpers”. We know that there are many people in our community who do not have family or support systems nearby. If you have neighbors that may need help, check on them. Call them. Knock on their door, step back to maintain your social distance, and see if they need anything. The Cobra Spirit is known for the support and the compassion that we show one another. Share that Cobra Spirit with those around you. Do not compromise your health or theirs, but help if you can. Just let them know that you care and can help if they need it. Be a “good neighbor”, be one of “the helpers”, share your Cobra Spirit.
