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.

5th Graders Learn About Music and History on Combined Field Trip

5th graders spent a day on a combined field trip between the Arts and History classes. The first stop on the trip was to The Sheldon for the Science and Sound of Music. Students learned from local musicians how instruments worked and how different sounds are created. Following the program at The Sheldon, students got to spend their lunch time enjoying the beautiful day on Art Hill before they headed into the “Sunken Cities, Egypt’s Lost Worlds” exhibition at the St. Louis Art Museum. St. Louis is the first stop for “Sunken Cities” in North America, and students were led around the exhibition by the docents while soaking in the artifacts uncovered by underwater archaeologists. The exhibition showed students the connection between ancient Egypt and ancient Greece, two civilizations that the 5th graders have learned about this year in history class.
