🎨 Mr. Noland, Art Teacher
6th grade students at CSMS will study star constellations and their origins in order to create a work of art. Each student will design their own constellation! For stars, students will create circuits on the back of their art using copper tape, batteries, and LED lights. This project will connect art across multiple disciplines. We want to thank the Conway Public Schools Foundation for making this possible with the grant!
🤖💻 Mrs. Sellers, KeyCoding Teacher
Coding comes alive in KeyCode classes & Cat Connections Enrichment! Thanks to a generous grant from the Conway Public Schools Foundation, we now have a class set of Edison V-3 Robots for students to explore hands-on learning, creativity, and problem-solving. 🚀

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!
