Campus Closed to Students 1/28

Read Details

Missouri American Water informed our staff today that they will begin repairs on the ruptured water main just northeast of campus on Warson Road at 8:00 a.m. tomorrow. They advised us that MICDS could lose water service to most buildings either intermittently or throughout the duration of the repair, which is scheduled to last most of the day. Until they begin the repair, they cannot predict with confidence the scale or duration of the resulting water outage. Because of the uncertainty of the impact of this water main repair on our facilities, MICDS will be closed to all students tomorrow, Wednesday, January 28, during the school day. Information about after-school activities and athletics is currently unknown and will be communicated at a later time. Especially given this week’s inclement weather disruptions, I regret the necessity of tomorrow’s school-day closure and appeal to you for understanding. We will run a normal 8:00 a.m. start time on Thursday and a 9:00 a.m. late-start time on Friday in all three divisions. In the Middle and Upper Schools, Thursday will be an A day to pair with today's H day, and Friday will be a B9 day. On Monday, we will run a D day as originally scheduled. Thank you for your partnership and understanding. We will be back in touch with you should there be any changes to Missouri American’s water main repair schedule.

Watch the 2021 Blue Whale Cafe

Premiering at 7:30 p.m. on February 19

Blue Whale Cafe is a cherished MICDS tradition that allows students and faculty to showcase their talents and come together to celebrate the arts in our community. This year, Blue Whale will take on a virtual format; audience members will watch from home while performers take the stage to perform original, classic, and modern pieces demonstrating their instrumental and vocal talents.

“Honestly, I think this will be the best Blue Whale because everyone is dedicated to making this an amazing show to alleviate the fears and frustrations of COVID-19 for our performers, production crew, and audience.” – Kendal Windom ’21, Master of Ceremonies

Instead of traditional ticket sales for one charity, viewers will have the opportunity to donate to one or multiple causes of their choice during “commercial breaks” throughout the show.
