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.

⚠️ School Closing

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.

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

📣 Help Shape the Future of Conway Public Schools! 🐾 Conway Public Schools, in partnership with the Conway Area Chamber of Commerce and Conway Development Corporation, has launched a Strategic Planning Steering Committee to help guide our district through 2026 and beyond. We’re working with the Winthrop Rockefeller Institute (WRI) to gather input from parents, students, staff, local employers, and community members. Your feedback will help us understand what’s working well, where we can improve, and how we can best prepare Conway students for lifelong success. Please note, the survey will close on November 30, so be sure to share your thoughts before then. This is an important opportunity for every parent to have a voice in shaping the future of Conway Public Schools. The feedback collected will inform both our Strategic Readiness Plan for 2025–2026 and the long-range strategic plan being developed by the Steering Committee. 💬 We want to hear from YOU—our community! Your perspective as a citizen and taxpayer is vital as we make decisions that impact our schools and our city’s future. 📩 A Parent Survey and Staff Survey has also been emailed to all CPSD families and staff, so if you have a child in or work for Conway Public Schools, please take a few minutes to complete it! 🗳️ CPSD Citizen/Taxpayer Survey: https://forms.office.com/r/bZLfGmgjWZ Together, we can ensure that Conway Public Schools continues to grow, innovate, and serve our students—and our community—with excellence. #ConwayPublicSchools #WampusCats #CPSDStrategicPlan
