During National School Counseling Week, the South Conway County School District proudly recognizes and celebrates our outstanding school counselors: Sandra Oliver, Christy Meeler, Candace Canady, Sonia Kibe, Jordan Schneider, and Casey Squires.

Our counselors play a vital role in supporting students academically, socially, and emotionally, and in helping them plan for future opportunities. Every day, they help students navigate challenges, build confidence, set goals, and stay focused on success—both in and out of the classroom.

We are grateful for their dedication, compassion, and commitment to serving students and families across our district. Their work makes a real difference in our scholars' lives.

Thank you to our school counselors for all you do to support and amplify student success.

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.

MIS Families - Until we are able to return to school, here are a few ways for students to stay sharp: 📖 Read something you enjoy ✍️ Write about what you’ve done while at home 🧮 Play board/card games 🎨 Create something—make a craft, build with LEGOs, or draw a picture 🧠 Try puzzles or logic games 🍳 Help cook or bake ⏱️ Just 15–30 minutes of learning mixed into the day helps keep routines and brains on track. Hang in there, stay warm, and enjoy the snow while it lasts! ☃️❄️ #loveservecare4people

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.
