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
🎉📈 WAY TO GO, SIMON MIDDLE SCHOOL! 📈🎉
We are incredibly proud of Mrs. Adolph and her outstanding students from Simon Middle School for being named 1st Place Regional Winners in the Stock Market Game for the Fall 2025 semester, hosted by Economics Arkansas! 👏
👏 Congratulations to students:
Ava Easterling, Titus Tinsley, Micah Huckaba, and Jackson Smith for their hard work, teamwork, and dedication.
This impressive accomplishment earned them recognition at the Clinton Presidential Library, where they were honored during the Fall 2025 Student Awards Luncheon today. The celebration was made even more special as family members were able to attend and celebrate alongside these students.
Mrs. Adolph and her students were joined by Principal KaRon Branch, Ms. Moix, as well as Superintendent Jason Black, Deputy Superintendent Karon Lasker, and Assistant Superintendent Bryce Bennett, showing strong district support for student success.
📊💼 Congratulations to this incredible group for representing Simon Middle School and Conway Public Schools with excellence!
