Fifth graders! We want YOU to be involved in the Conway music program next year! Joining band, choir, or orchestra is a great way to learn to sing or play an instrument, make new friends, and be an important part of a team. You’ll be seeing us perform at each school soon. Once counselors send home course selection information, simply choose band, choir, or orchestra and we will get you plugged in! Choir students already have their instrument – their voice – but are welcome to visit with the choir director at their school. New band and orchestra students will receive info later this Spring about trying out the instruments. We want you to JOIN MUSIC! For more info on our programs and teachers, visit joinmusicconway.weebly.com.
Happy Counselor Appreciation Week! Thank you Mrs. Hammons and Mr Smith for all you do!!

❄️Inclement Weather make up day information ❄️
Conway Public Schools will not be in session, as planned, on February 19, 2024 in observance of President's day.
The District will be seeking waiver approval from the Division of Elementary and Secondary Education to transition the remainder of the 2023-2024 school year to serve minutes versus days. This would allow the current published calendar to remain intact and not add additional days to the end of the school year.
Any future inclement weather days will be evaluated. More information will be shared after the waiver has been approved or denied.
TODAY 1/26 is the last day to order a personalized yearbook online. After today, personalized yearbooks can still be ordered, but they have to pick up an order form in the office and pay for it with cash or check. Plain yearbooks will be sold online and through school until after spring break or until we sell out.
