Immunization Reminder:
The Arkansas State Board of Health Rules and Regulations Pertaining to Immunization Requirements states that every child attending a public school in the state shall receive a series of immunizations in order to enter school. Religious, Medical, and Philosophical exemptions can be obtained through the Arkansas Department of Health. However, proof of exemption letters must be obtained each year and provided to the school for their records. (AR Code Annotated 20-7-109, 6-18-702, 6-60-504, 20-78-206).
If your child is already 11 years old or will turn 11 yrs. before September 1, 2025, he/she will need the Tdap and the MCV4 vaccines before returning to school this year. If your child is entering 7th grade and has not received the MCV4 vaccine, he/she must have this before returning to school this year.
The deadline for receiving these immunizations is October 1, 2025. If your child does not have the required immunizations by this date, he/she will be sent home until immunizations are updated. There will be NO exceptions!
All updated records must be turned in to Nurse Siegel.
Any questions or concerns should be sent to Nurse Siegel at siegelh@conwayschools.info. Or, please call 501-329-2782 with any questions. Thank you!

A native of Barton, Arkansas, Mrs. Williams is a proud graduate of Delta State University, Liberty University, and UCA. She and her husband, Nick, have been married for 10 years and are proud parents of four children.
Outside the classroom, she enjoys playing piano, flute, and keyboard with her church band, reading all kinds of books, and spending time with her puppies!
Welcome to Carl Stuart, Mrs. Williams—we’re so glad you’re here! 💙

His favorite genre of music is jazz, and he’s looking forward to bringing that love of music to the band program at CSMS. We’re glad to have him on board!
