Due to last week’s winter weather, the South Conway County School District missed five consecutive days of school, resulting in the loss of five valuable Tier 1 instructional days for our students. Because teaching and learning matter—and in alignment with our mission to maximize safety and learning, students will make up one of those snow days on Thursday, February 12.
Thursday, February 12th, will be a student learning day for grades PreK–12, following the regular school schedule.
Important details for Thursday, February 12:
• Student Learning Day (PreK–12)
• Regular school hours: 8:00 a.m. – 3:25 p.m.
• Parent-Teacher Conferences: 3:45 p.m. – 7:45 p.m.
By using February 12 as a learning day, the district will regain 6.3666 hours of instructional time, helping offset the loss of Tier 1 instructional time due to winter weather and ensuring students receive the learning opportunities they need to stay on track.
Additional reminders:
• Friday, February 13 – Winter Break (No School)
• Monday, February 16 – Presidents’ Day (No School)
We appreciate your understanding, flexibility, and partnership as we work together to support our students. Thank you for your continued commitment to learning and for supporting our efforts to make every instructional day count.

The South Conway County School District will be in session on Monday, February 2, 2026, beginning at 8:00 a.m.
The District will announce snow routes later this evening via the District App and social media.
As we begin a new school week following winter weather, please keep the following safety reminders in mind:
• Give yourself extra time when traveling to and from school, especially if you are dropping off or picking up a student.
• Please be patient during drop-off and pick-up, as traffic may move more slowly than normal.
• Remind your student to use caution when arriving on campus, particularly in areas where icy patches may still be present.
• Allow extra space between your vehicle and the one in front of you during drop-off and pick-up.
We have truly missed our students this past week and are excited to welcome them back to school. We look forward to seeing everyone on Monday!

The South Conway County School District will not have school on Friday, January 30.
Many secondary roads, some state highways, and numerous roads used by our buses to transport more than 1,500 students are not safe at this time. While conditions will improve greatly on many roads this afternoon, roads that remain in the shade and dirt roads will not improve enough for safe travel.
In addition, the potential for additional winter precipitation tonight, combined with refreezing as temperatures fall below freezing, makes road conditions unpredictable for tomorrow morning.
If we are going to make an error, we will always make it on the side of maximizing the safety of our scholars, families, and staff.
We are attaching some pictures of our drive through the District today of Poor Farm Rd, Turkey Pond Loop, Solgohachia Road, Robb Road, Mt. Olive Road, Hwy. 92, and Hwy. 287.
Thank you for your continued patience and understanding. Please stay safe. We look forward to seeing all of our students and staff on Monday!

After continued assessment of road conditions across our district, we have determined that roads outside the city of Morrilton remain packed with ice. While some melting is expected this afternoon, it will not be sufficient to safely improve conditions, particularly on secondary roads and bus routes.
As a result, the South Conway County School District will not have school tomorrow, Thursday, January 29.
This decision is made with one priority in mind: maximizing the safety of our scholars, families, and staff. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we continue to navigate these winter weather conditions.
Please stay safe and take care.
