⚠️ 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
