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.

New Parent Welcome Event

Parents new to the MICDS community gathered Tuesday night in Brauer Hall for the New Parent Welcome Event. This was a great opportunity for new parents to meet each other, talk with administrators and Parent Association Class Chairs and find out how to take advantage of all that MICDS has to offer. Thank you to our speakers: Head of School Lisa Lyle gave a warm welcome; Parent Association President Jill Gould provided an overview of parent involvement at MICDS; David Yuan, father of Kate ’22, shared the story of his daughter’s summer research opportunity, one of the many reasons he contributes to the MICDS Fund each year; and last but not least, Director of Enrollment Management Eric Brunt, father of a JK’er (Class of 2032!), spoke about his new parent experience thus far and closed the program with a final welcome message.
