This is a message from Meramec Valley R-III School District for Monday, November 11th: We will dismiss students in grades 5-12 at 12 p.m. today, and we will dismiss elementary students at 1:10 p.m. today due to inclement weather conditions. SACC and Doris Hoffman Early Learning Center will close at 3 p.m. today. Afternoon Veterans activities have been canceled for the day.
MVR-III update on the winter weather advisory that our area is under until tomorrow afternoon. Here’s the plan based on what we know at this time:
1. Currently, the rain isn’t supposed to change to snow until after the morning commute.
2. Once the snow arrives, accumulation is expected to be limited to grassy areas with little to no accumulation on roads.
3. The winter weather advisory is currently set to end around dismissal time.
Given what we know at this point, we expect to be in session tomorrow and we think we should be able to attend a full day.
Of course, we will be up early checking roads and the updated forecast. If anything changes that would keep us from having school, we’ll let you know as early as we can. Don't forget to wear your red, white, and blue for Veterans Day.
PLTW Computer Science Classes at Riverbend participate in a Jurassic Era Breakout Room. Students hunt for clues using codes and loops as well as teamwork to solve the complex puzzles to find the keys to break out.
