WELCOME FROM THE

SUPERINTENDENT
Dear residents of the Webster Groves
School District:
Its my pleasure to present this latest issue
of the Webster Groves School District
Directory, published in cooperation with the
Webster-Kirkwood Times.
This years booklet contains the 20142015 school calendar, profiles of our schools,
descriptions of special programs, telephone
numbers and other important information. Weve tried to
include as much information as possible in this format and hope
that you find it useful. We have much to celebrate in the Webster
Groves School District this year: rising standardized test scores,
small class sizes, an outstanding staff and scores of academic, arts
and athletic awards.
Id like to thank the Times for producing this directory as well
as all of the local businesses that support this endeavor by
purchasing ads. Id also like to thank the school community for
its strong support of public education. Were looking forward to
another great school year!

School History:
Webster Groves High School began as a general course offered to
ninth graders in 1889.
At the turn of the century, the school occupied the first floor of the
original Bristol School building; the elementary school took up the
second floor. As enrollment increased, the high school used hallways
and storerooms as supplementary classrooms.
In 1906, the district built a high school on Selma Avenue, a two-story
brick building with three classrooms and an auditorium. Front wings
were added in 1913.
The Webster Groves Armory, constructed in 1917, was turned over
to the high school following World War I and housed the lunch room
and senior gymnasium.
Webster Groves High School was originally named Hamsher High
School for Frank Hamsher, school superintendent from 1917 to 1924.
In 1934, portions of the building built in 1906 and 1913 were razed.
A large addition, including the Little Theater and additional classrooms,
was completed in 1935.
The district built Roberts Gym, named after coach and teacher
Charles A. Roberts, in 1946.
The high school has received a Silver Award for its use of Positive
Behavioral Interventions and Support.
In 2012, a 106,350-square-foot addition at the north end of the high
school, made possible by a $36 million zero-tax-increase bond issue,
opened. The new wing includes space for industrial technology, visual
art, music, social studies and science.

School History:
Known originally as the Webster School, Bristol
was organized in 1868.
As the school grew in its early years, it had to
rent space in three other buildings in town, including the Congregational Church. The school was
named for Dr. Bennet J. Bristol in 1916, a physician
and long-time member of the Board of
Education.
Wings for the original frame building on Gray
Avenue were built in 1909 and 1913.
In 1920, the district moved the frame building
toward the rear of the school grounds and began
constructing the central part of the building, connecting the wings. A new multipurpose room was
added in 2008 and the old gymnasium was renovated for a new library, office and classroom
space.
Bristol Elementary is noted for its strong staff
and programs (both curricular and extra-curricular), its high level of family involvement, and a
nurturing school environment that celebrates the
uniqueness of each child. Differentiated instruction and interventions help all students succeed.
Bristols 2012 PBIS (Positive Behavioral
Interventions and Support) Program was awarded
the Bronze Award for Excellence. The Bristol community is dedicated to celebrating children and
providing a foundation for life-long learning.

Hudson was built in 1945 with a total of
seven rooms, originally as part of the Rock Hill
School District. That district merged with the
Webster Groves School District three years later.
In the 1950s, the district added more classrooms, a gymnasium, a cafeteria and other
rooms to the building.
The school is named after the street on
which it is located.
With assistance from the Missouri Botanical
Garden, Hudson has developed a Youth Garden,
which serves as an outdoor classroom. Children,
families and school staff nurture the garden

EARTHQUAKE SAFETY FOR MISSOURI SCHOOLS

The New Madrid Seismic Zone extends 120 miles southward
from the area of Charleston, Missouri, and Cairo, Illinois, through New
Madrid and Caruthersville, following Interstate 55 to Blytheville and
on down to Marked Tree, Arkansas. The NMSZ consists of a series of
large, ancient faults that are buried beneath thick, soft sediments.
These faults cross five state lines and cross the Mississippi River in three
places and the Ohio River in two places.
The New Madrid Seismic Zone and surrounding region is
active, averaging more than 200 measured events per year
(Magnitude 1.0 or greater), about 20 per month. Tremors large
enough to be felt (Magnitude 2.5 3.0) are noted every year. The
fault releases a shock of 4.0 or more, capable of local minor damage,
about every 18 months. Magnitudes of 5.0 or greater occur about
once per decade. They can cause significant damage and be felt in
several states.
The highest earthquake risk in the United States outside the
West Coast is in the New Madrid Seismic Zone. Damaging tremblors
are not as frequent as in California, but when they do occur, the
destruction covers over more than 20 times the area due to the nature
of geologic materials in the region. The 1968 5.5 magnitude Dale,
Illinois earthquake toppled chimneys and caused damage to unreinforced masonry in the St. Louis area, more than 100 miles from the
epicenter. A 5.2 magnitude earthquake in April 2008 in southeast
Illinois, did not cause damage in Missouri, but was felt across much of
the state.
A damaging earthquake in this area, which experts say is about
a 6.0 magnitude event, occurs about once every 80 years (the last one
in 1895 was centered near Charleston, Missouri). There is estimated
to be a 25-40% chance for a magnitude 6.07.5 or greater earthquake along the New Madrid Seismic Zone in a 50-year period
according to the U.S. Geological Survey reports. The results would be
serious damage to un-reinforced masonry buildings and other structures from Memphis to St. Louis. We are certainly overdue for this type
of earthquake!
A major earthquake in this area - the great New Madrid earthquake of 1811-12 was actually a series of over 2000 shocks in five
months, with several quakes believed to be a 7.0 Magnitude or
higher. Eighteen of these rang church bells on the Eastern seaboard.
The very land itself was destroyed in the Missouri Bootheel, making it
unfit even for farming for many years. It was the largest release of
seismic energy east of the Rocky Mountains in the history of the U.S.
and was several times larger than the San Francisco quake of 1906.
When will another great earthquake the size of those in 181112 happen? Several lines of research suggest that the catastrophic
upheavals like those in 1811-12 visit the New Madrid region every
500-600 years. Hence, emergency planners, engineers, and seismologists do not expect a repeat of the intensity of the 1811-12 series for
at least 100 years or more. However, even though the chance is
remote, experts estimate the chances for a repeat earthquake of similar magnitude to the 1811-1812 New Madrid earthquakes over a
50-year period to be a 7-10% probability.
What can we do to protect ourselves? Education, planning,
proper building construction, and preparedness are proven means to
minimize earthquake losses, deaths, and injuries.
Prepare a Home Earthquake Plan
- Choose a safe place in every room--under a sturdy table or
desk or against an inside wall where nothing can fall on you.
- Practice DROP, COVER AND HOLD ON at least twice a year.
Drop under a sturdy desk or table, hold onto the desk or table

with one hand, and protect the back of the head with the

other hand. If theres no table or desk nearby, kneel on the

floor against an interior wall away from windows, bookcases,
or tall furniture that could fall on you and protect the back of
your head with one hand and your face with the other arm.
- Choose an out-of-town family contact.
- Take a first aid class from your local Red Cross chapter.
Keep your training current.
- Get training in how to use a fire extinguisher from your local
fire department.
- Inform babysitters and caregivers of your plan.
Eliminate Hazards
- Consult a professional to find out additional ways you can
protect your home, such as bolting the house to its foundation
and other structural mitigation techniques.
- Bolt bookcases, china cabinets and other tall furniture to
wall studs.
- Install strong latches on cupboards.
- Strap the water heater to wall studs.
Prepare a Disaster Supplies Kit for Home and Car
- First aid kit and essential medications.
- Canned food and can opener.
- At least three gallons of water per person.
- Protective clothing, rainwear, and bedding or sleeping bags.
- Battery-powered radio, flashlight, and extra batteries.
- Special items for infant, elderly, or disabled family members.
- Written instructions for how to turn off gas, electricity, and
water if authorities advise you to do so. (Remember, youll
need a professional to turn natural gas service back on.)
- Keeping essentials, such as a flashlight and sturdy shoes, by
your bedside.
Know What to Do When the Shaking BEGINS
- DROP, COVER AND HOLD ON! Move only a few steps to a
nearby safe place. Stay indoors until the shaking stops and
youre sure its safe to exit. Stay away from windows.
- In a high-rise building, expect the fire alarms and sprinklers to
go off during a quake.
- If you are in bed, hold on and stay there, protecting your head
with a pillow.
- If you are outdoors, find a clear spot away from buildings,
trees, and power lines. Drop to the ground.
- If you are in a car, slow down and drive to a clear place (as
described above). Stay in the car until the shaking stops.
Know What to Do AFTER the Shaking Stops
- Check yourself for injuries. Protect yourself from further danger
by putting on long pants, a long-sleeved shirt, sturdy shoes,
and work gloves.
- Check others for injuries. Give first aid for serious injuries.
- Look for and extinguish small fires. Eliminate fire hazards. Turn
off the gas if you smell gas or think its leaking. (Remember,
only a professional should turn it back on.)
- Listen to the radio for instructions
- Expect aftershocks. Each time you feel one, DROP, COVER,
AND HOLD ON!
- Inspect your home for damage. Get everyone out if your home
is unsafe.
- Use the telephone only to report life-threatening emergencies.

Special education services, including speech, occupational and
physical therapy, are provided by the Special School District in district
schools and in the Early Childhood Education Center. Students can
receive services from age three through 21. Special School District
staff can be reached by calling their central office at 314-989-8100.
If you think your child needs to be tested to receive special
education services, call your childs school counselor to request an
evaluation. Schools are required to try several classroom intervention
strategies before a child is referred for testing. Once a packet
requesting testing is complete and the child is accepted for testing, it
may take up to 90 days before the evaluation takes place. If the school
feels your child doesnt need an evaluation, you can request one by
writing to the principal or to Janice Brooks, director of Diagnostic
Related Services, Special School District of St. Louis County, 12111
Clayton Road, St. Louis, MO 63131.

PROGRAMS FOR HOMELESS STUDENTS

The Webster Groves School District Board of Education recognizes
that homelessness alone should not be sufficient reason to separate
students from the mainstream school environment. Therefore, the
district, in accordance with state and federal law and the Missouri
state plan for education of the homeless, will give special attention
VICC PROVISION
The District has determined that the Voluntary Interdistrict

Choice Corporation (VICC) and its officers, employees and agents
are school officials with legitimate educational interests because
they act for and on behalf of the District with respect to transfer
students and the transfer program, and because they seek to
to ensure that homeless students in the school district have access

to a free and appropriate public education. Homeless coordinator:
John M. Thomas, interim director of student services, 400 E.
Lockwood Ave., Webster Groves, MO 63119.
advance the interests of both. A transfer students attendance

records and other educational records relevant to the students
participation in the program or to the program itself may accordingly be disclosed to VICC without obtaining written consent
from the parent/guardian or eligible student.

ASBESTOS REGULATIONS
The Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA, Public
Law 99-5190), enacted in October 1986, required the
Environmental Protection Agency to develop regulations that
provide a comprehensive framework for addressing asbestos
problems in schools. On Oct. 30, 1987, the EPA published the
Asbestos-Containing Materials in Schools Rule (40 CFR Part 763
Subpart E). This rule required all public and private schools to
inspect for friable and non-friable asbestos, develop asbestos
management plans that address asbestos hazards in school buildings and implement response actions in a timely fashion.
The Webster Groves School District recognizes that the presence of asbestos-containing building materials in schools constitutes a potential hazard to human health and the environment.
Therefore, the prevention of exposure to asbestos fibers at any

level is a matter of concern to the district and the school community, requiring the implementation of a carefully planned and
thorough program to safeguard school children and personnel.
This includes assessment of the potential hazard; application of
precautions designed to prevent exposure to asbestos fibers and
systematic abatement of asbestos-containing materials.
A reinspection of all district school buildings is performed periodically to comply with the rules and regulations of the United
State Environmental Protection Agency. A report on the condition
of each building and the location of asbestos-containing material
is available at each building site.
SCHOOL LUNCH PRICES FOR 2014-15

Family income criteria are calculated annually by the National

School Lunch and Breakfast programs of the federal government.
Families with children in district schools who qualify for reducedprice meals are notified by their schools and receive applications.
Applications, which are available at all principals offices, can be
made or changed at any time during the school year if a formerly
ineligible family experiences an increase in family size or reduction in
income.
Please note: Beginning this year, lunch menus will be available
