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.

Healthier Holiday Recipes

There’s a distinct difference between claiming something as “healthy” and “healthier”. The holidays are a time to share food with the people we care about. While it’s always important to eat nutritious foods and stay active, there’s no shame in savoring a traditional holiday dish prepared for its taste and sentiment, not its nutritional profile. This holiday season, we’re displaying “healthier” versions of traditional recipes in our dining halls, without compromising flavor. Tastings will include sweet potato casserole, egg nog, and allergy-friendly cookies. Ask your student about the new foods they’ve tried this month and look for special holiday recipes on our school dining site. Our signature Cranberry Orange Compote recipe is pictured below:
