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.

Tennis Autism Awareness

Varsity Girls Tennis Sparks #PlayforConnor Initiative

The MICDS’ Girls’ Tennis Team has chosen to dedicate their season to 15-year-old Connor and his journey with autism. Connor is the younger brother of MICDS #1 player, Caleigh McClain. By playing for Connor, the girls aim to bring perspective to their sport and raise awareness and financial support for autism programs in St. Louis.

This week, the team played against Westminster Christian Academy whose tennis team has also dedicated their season to raising awareness for autism. The two teams came together to honor both initiatives in an “Autism Awareness Match.” Coaches and players made short speeches to honor their joint efforts.

In addition, the Varsity Girls Tennis team is selling t-shirts to raise money for the initiative. Click here to learn more.
