Due to school closures from recent inclement weather, Conway High School has made several important adjustments to upcoming schedules. ATLAS Interim #2 testing has been revised and will now take place on Wednesday, February 4 only for all 10th grade students, as well as some juniors and seniors. Students will no longer test on both February 3 and 4 as originally planned.
Families should also note that students who previously made arrangements for community service or college visits on February 3 may still attend those activities. These absences will be excused with proper documentation, which should be turned in to the front office.
Additionally, 3rd 9 Weeks Interim Progress Reports will be sent home with students during WIN on Friday, February 6, and Parent–Teacher Conferences are scheduled for Wednesday, February 11 from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
📧 Please check your inbox for a detailed email from Dr. Kate Worley, which includes full explanations and important reminders related to these updates.
If you have any questions, families are encouraged to contact the CHS front office once campus reopens.
Thank you for your flexibility and continued support of our students.
⚠️ School Closing
Conway Schools and offices will be closed Friday, January 30th, 2026.
While the warmer temperatures over the past two days have helped improve some conditions, travel throughout the district including access to side streets, driveways, and neighborhoods continues to be impacted.
Our crews are continuing to work diligently to clear each of our campuses and are preparing for a safe return to school soon.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we prioritize safety and continue to monitor conditions.
⚠️ School Closing
Conway Schools and offices will be closed Thursday, January 29th, 2026, due to icy road conditions throughout the district.
We continue to monitor conditions closely as crews work to address sidewalks, parking areas, and campus access. Many bus routes, particularly rural routes, remain impacted, and overnight low temperatures will continue to delay a safe return.
The decision to close is based on ensuring the safety of our students, staff, and families. We will communicate any additional closures or delays as conditions evolve.
Please stay safe and warm Wampus Cats!

Weather Update: Monitoring Conditions for Friday
Good evening Conway Public Schools,
We are continuing to closely monitor the incoming weather system and will evaluate updated conditions tomorrow morning as forecasts continue to change.
If weather conditions warrant, we may pivot to a two-hour early release on Friday to ensure the safety of our students, staff and families. Should that occur, the following dismissal times would apply:
Elementary Schools: 1:15 p.m.
Secondary Schools (Middle Schools, CJHS, & CHS): 1:30 p.m.
If an early release is implemented, end-of-day dismissal procedures would remain normal, buses would run their regular routes, and all after-school activities and programs would be canceled.
We will communicate any decision as soon as it is made. Please continue to monitor your email, phone messages, and district communication channels for updates. If no additional communication is issued, schools will follow their regular dismissal schedules.
Our team will continue monitoring the weather throughout the weekend and will provide updates regarding any additional school closings or delays as needed.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we prioritize safety. Please stay safe and warm.
Sincerely,
Conway Public Schools
