Morrilton Intermediate

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.

Thank You, Road Crews! We want to extend our sincere appreciation to the Conway County Road Crews and the Morrilton City Street Crews for their hard work and dedication during this winter weather. Clearing ice-covered roads in difficult and dangerous conditions is no small task, and your long hours and commitment help keep our community safer. We are grateful for your service, your perseverance, and your willingness to step up when it matters most. Thank you for taking care of our community. We appreciate you.

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.

With school closed due to winter weather, we encourage you to take advantage of today and tomorrow to read, catch up on assignments, and stay engaged in your learning.

Use this time wisely—whether that means completing work, getting ahead, or strengthening positive learning habits. Learning continues, even when we are not in the classroom.

Most importantly, have fun, but be safe. Take care of yourself, look out for others, and make smart choices during these winter conditions.

We look forward to welcoming you back soon.
