Our little engineers have been hard at work in Bigger Than Big! 🏗️🎢

The students have been busy designing and building their very own roller coasters and towering skyscrapers. From twisting tracks to sky-high structures, their creativity and teamwork have been absolutely amazing to watch!

We love seeing their imaginations grow bigger and bigger as they explore, build, and problem-solve together. The future architects and engineers of the world are definitely in the making! 💙✨

In the Happy Healthy Me Room, our little learners stepped into the world of architecture and community helpers! 🏗️✨
We’ve been learning about Robert Robinson Taylor, a groundbreaking architect and the first African American graduate of MIT. His creativity and determination inspired us to design and build structures of our own!
Using blocks and loose parts, students worked together to create dentist offices, doctor’s offices, and hospitals — exploring how buildings help keep our communities healthy and strong. 🏥🦷🩺
Their imaginations (and teamwork!) were hard at work. We love seeing our future architects in action! 💛

In our Zoom and Vroom Room, we learned about Garrett Morgan, the brilliant inventor who created the three-light traffic signal 🚦

Garrett Morgan’s invention helped make our roads safer by adding the caution (yellow) light between stop and go — something we still use every single day! We love learning about inventors who made a big difference in our world.

Way to go, Zoom and Vroom Room learners! 💛

Happy Me, Healthy Me 💛🧠🎨
Our classroom was buzzing with creativity and self-reflection! Students gathered in a Right Brain classroom, used mirrors to take a close look at themselves, and thoughtfully sketched self-portraits. Using soft pastels, they added color, emotion, and personality to their artwork—celebrating what makes each of them unique.
This activity wasn’t just about art; it was about confidence, self-awareness, and learning to appreciate who we are inside and out. Beautiful faces, bright colors, and even brighter minds! 🌈✨

Students in the Right Brain Classroom had a happy and healthy learning experience as they studied the life and work of Alma Thomas, a renowned African American artist and educator. After exploring her unique artistic style, students created their own original artworks inspired by her work. We are proud of their creativity and enthusiasm for learning!

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:

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.
