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! 💙✨
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! 💛
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! 💛

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! 🌈✨

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
Conway Schools and offices will be closed Friday, January 30th, 2026.
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.
⚠️ 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!
