CPSD Return to School Update

We are excited to welcome students and staff back to school on Monday, February 2nd, 2026, after a week of closures caused by the recent snow and ice storm.

All schools will operate on normal start times; however, snow bus routes will be in effect to ensure safe transportation for students. Families are encouraged to review snow route information prior to Monday morning.

🔗 Snow Bus Route Information:
CPSD Snow Routes

Our teams have continued working to prepare school campuses for a safe return. They have done a great job with sidewalks but please utilize caution in shaded areas. Also, a big shout out to the City of Conway, Faulkner County, and groups who were also a part of the clearing process. We can not thank you all enough for the hard work!

We will provide updates regarding snow make-up days as soon as that information becomes available.

Thank you for your understanding and support. We look forward to a smooth return to school on Monday.

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
