Thank you to all voters who participated in the April 7 election and took the time to consider Prop S.
On Tuesday, the unofficial results for Prop S, the proposed no tax rate change bond issue for the Meramec Valley R-III School District, showed 56.5% voter approval, falling short of the 57.14% required for passage by 22 votes.
This outcome means we will not be moving forward at this time with plans to construct a new middle school or address the identified facility needs across our schools, including important safety and security upgrades.
The Board of Education and administration remain committed to exploring options to address the district’s facility needs. We will continue engaging with community members and staff as we determine next steps and evaluate future solutions.
We appreciate your continued support of our students, staff, and schools.

Coleman Elementary 3rd graders wrapped up their Invisible Forces unit with hands-on learning focused on magnets and engineering! 🧲
Students applied their understanding by designing a magnetic lock that could open a paper door. Using the engineering design process, they tested and improved their creations with simple materials like notecards, paper fasteners, paper clips, and dot stickers. 💡

Our 6th grade Pacific Intermediate students in the Magic of Electrons course, part of our Project Lead the Way program, are building impressive skills in the classroom! 👏
From mastering tool safety to learning the precision of soldering, students are gaining experience with the fundamentals of simple machines.
The ultimate goal is to solder their own circuit boards to create a light-sensing night light!💡

Last week brought a little extra excitement to Doris Hoffman Early Learning Center as the playground was under construction for a new shade structure! ☀️
Students had a front-row seat to the action, turning the experience into real-world learning filled with curiosity about tools, teamwork, and safety.
While routines shifted, teachers made the most of every moment by creating new opportunities for outdoor exploration. Students enjoyed campus walks, snack time outside, tracing shadows, and practicing drawing and writing with sidewalk chalk.
What could have been a disruption became a meaningful time for creativity, learning, and connection! 💜
