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.

Activities Fair Rounds Out the Community Experience

Upper Schoolers recently enjoyed their annual Activities/Community Service Fair, where students had the opportunity to explore the many clubs, activities, and organizations available for them to join. Joining an extracurricular club or group enables students to expand their circle of friends and community outside of the academic/athletic day and, in many cases, be of service to the community at large. 

The fair was set up outside on the Upper School campus, reaching from the Steward Aquatic Center through Founders’ Court and into Hermann Courtyard. Each group or club had a station where they shared information and offered treats, all in hopes of recruiting new members. 

In the background, live music performed by student musicians kept the mood lively and fun. 

“We are grateful for everyone’s partnership on this important event in the life of Upper School. The students were glad to have this connection point, and it was good to see the smiles on their faces,” said Erica Moore, Director of Student Activities.

The fair is produced by the Activities Committee and Community Service Committee, and their mission for the event is to foster an environment of community and joy. Mission accomplished!

We are still compiling a complete list of clubs and organizations available to Upper School students this year. Check back soon!
