District Procedures for Winter Weather Conditions and School Closing Information With winter weather comes the possibility that school may close due to snow, ice, subzero temperatures or any combination of those. In the event of a winter storm, stay tuned to Fox 2, News 4 and News Channel 5 for school closing information. Once the decision is made to close school, the district's School Messenger System will begin making automated calls to parents to ensure that families are notified. If a decision to close school is made after 10:30 PM, the automated system will be activated the following morning at 5:30 AM. The best ways to access closing information after 10:30 PM are to watch the local news channels or check the district's website. Knowing that winter weather conditions can change rapidly and winter storm predictions vary across the metro St. Louis area, we are providing the following information as a reminder to parents of the district procedures in the event that school closes or dismisses early due to imminent weather conditions. In the event that weather conditions rapidly deteriorate during the school day, the district may be forced to dismiss early in the best interest of the safety of your child(ren). Once a decision is made, the transportation system can be mobilized in one hour. [ Read More about the Early dismissal notification procedures ] |
We are excited to have announced during our parent teacher conferences the launch of a new service to deliver important information to your cell phone via SMS text messaging. While we will continue our current practice to contact parents through the use of a pre-recorded voice messages/building email distributions for such things as school event announcements, school closings, and other parent notifications, we are also now able to offer an immediate SMS text message to registered family cell phones. The process is simple and only takes a few seconds to complete. Simply text… “yes” or “optin” to the number 68453. [ More Info ] |

However, as parents and educators, I believe it is important to recognize the importance of a different kind of connection and engagement that involves live contact. This month, Mrs. Lewis also address the Illinois school report card results and the school impovement survey.

Emerson Excellence in Teaching Award For the last two years, Mrs. Pruett has implemented a 4th and 5th grade multiage level class. She embraced the multiage concept as a catalyst to explore and use research-based best practices in an educationally rich environment. She has made the multiage classroom configuration successful and beneficial for all her students. Not only is this evident by the growth of her students academically, socially and emotionally, but also by the positive environment that exists within her classroom community.
Mrs. Pruett is known as a leader and well regarded among her colleagues as an expert of instructional practice that leads to student growth and achievement. Although Mrs. Pruett serves as a mentor to most, she continues to be innovative and eager to try new practices in her classroom.
Even though the majority of Mrs. Pruett’s time is spent on classroom preparation and instruction, she manages to find time to attend nearly every event that takes place throughout the school year at St. Jacob Elementary. Laura Pruett is a superior educator and very deserving of the Emerson Excellence in Teaching Award. |
