On this edition of No Uniform Day, students may wear costumes appropriate for a Christian school. For example, athletic uniforms, superhero costumes, teacher look-alikes, etc. No masks are allowed. If they don’t wear costumes, sportswear including athletic pants, shorts, and jeans are allowed (no jeggings/leggings). Students may wear non-CCS t-shirts that are appropriate for a Christian school. Students may not wear tank tops. Dress must be modest and neat. 

On Saturday, November 2nd, the Conway Christian Music Department is hosting our first Country Music Festival! This fundraiser is open to everyone and will feature live music from talented CCS musicians, a chili cook-off, and more. Please consider making plans to enjoy a fun night with us. Admission is $10 which will go towards the CCS band and choir programs funding new music, instruments, competition fees and more. 

Students and faculty, if you are interested in singing a country song or two at the event, please let Mr. Ackett know at tackett@conwaychristianschool.net for more information. Individual musicians or bands are welcome, but individuals must provide live accompaniment or a backing/karaoke track. Auditions will be held on Monday, October 28th after school.

The health and safety of our students, faculty and staff is of utmost importance to us. Please help us prevent the spread of sickness by following the guidelines set forth in the Student Handbook. 

• Any child that has been vomiting must be kept home for 24 hours from the last incident. 
• If your child has fever, he/she must be fever free without the aid of medication for 24 hours. Please review the guidelines below:

The school reserves the right to exclude any student whose physical condition interferes with the ability to learn or exposes other students to potential communicable disease in accordance with the Arkansas Department of Health. Children Must Be Kept Home From School: 

• if they have a temperature over 100 degrees (temperature should be normal for 24 hours without the aid of medication before returning to school). Confirmed cases of flu require up to 48 hours without fever before the student may return to school.
• if they have had vomiting or diarrhea within 24 hours
• if they have an undiagnosed rash
