At Doris Hoffman Early Learning Center, students have been exploring the world of plants! 🌱
Students decorated cups and planted grass seeds while learning all about plant life cycles and parts. They will water their cups every day and are looking forward to seeing the silly faces grow “hair!”

At Coleman Elementary, Mrs. Peirick’s class had a fun and educational experience hatching Peeps! 🐣
Students not only explored science, but also practiced our school’s four core values: respect, responsibility, empathy, and perseverance.
Each student cared for an egg for a week. When it hatched, they received a birth certificate from the Easter Bunny and completed a baby book to document their new “chick!”

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.
