Converse County School District #1

May 25, 2026

Recently, surplus books were placed in dumpsters within the district, which understandably raised concerns among community members. The materials were promptly retrieved and placed into storage.   

Currently, the district is in the process of reviewing this situation and will explore additional attempts to repurpose these materials which may include surplus resale avenues and additional opportunities for all community members to obtain the books.  

I value feedback from all stakeholders and remain committed to addressing it in a respectful and thoughtful manner. The district is dedicated to continuously improving its practices and ensuring the responsible stewardship of public resources. 

Sincerely, 

Ryan Mackey, Ed.D. 
Superintendent 
Converse County School District #1

This is Converse 1 Schools. DIS/DUES received what appeared to be a prank phone call lacking details but threatening in nature. As a precaution, we have placed the school in Secure. Admin and DPD are working to trace the source. During the Secure Action, all doors are locked and no one can leave or enter the building.
Students who walk home from the school will not be allowed to walk and will need to be picked up. We are planning a controlled release at the end of the normal school day. Please be patient. Any changes will be communicated.

3:09 - SWAG has NOT been cancelled at DIS/DUES. We are still planning on a controlled release at the normal release time.

3:14 - We are still planning on a controlled release at the normal release time. As a precaution, there will be an added presence by local law enforcement.

3:19 - Controlled release will begin soon. Please exercise patience as we utilize additional safety precautions.

3:24 - DIS/DUES have begun to release students under adult control. All students who normally walk will need to be picked up.

3:29 - Thank you for your continued patience as we release the students.

3:34 - Students continue to be released in a controlled manner.

3:41 - The Secure Alert at DIS/DUES has been closed.

Converse County School District #1 is committed to a transparent, community-driven process when reviewing and selecting high-quality instructional materials for our students. As part of this commitment, we are opening the CCSD1 MATH & WRITING Resource Evaluation Tools for Public Comment from December 8th to December 19th, 2025. This tool guides the review of teacher-selected curriculum resources (listed below) to ensure alignment with Wyoming standards, instructional best practices, research evidence, and district priorities. We invite Parents, Students, Staff, and Community Members to review the document and share your feedback. Your perspective is important to us as we want to ensure our District Curriculum reflects the values, expectations, and needs of our community: Public Comment Link - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NcSUcZlW5Ysn9LU59EW28LFuEdbOPo6P4CK_UlEUp2E/edit?usp=sharing

Power has been restored and school is in session today, November 14, 2025.

IMPORTANT! After school SWAG at the Intermediate, Upper Elementary, Middle and High schools is cancelled. Therefore, only the NORMAL bus routes will run. Middle School wrestling practice is also cancelled.

The following activities are NOT cancelled:

• Douglas Primary School SWAG (normal DPS SWAG bus routes will run).

• Middle School basketball in Wheatland.

• High School cheer practice.

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.

Join us as we honor and celebrate our veterans for their service and sacrifice.

Let’s come together as a community to show our gratitude. We hope to see you there!
