We are aware of the incoming weather today and will take appropriate precautions to ensure the safety of all staff and students. There is a possibility that the timing will force us to hold dismissal time for a few minutes depending on current weather conditions. The obvious concern is for students and busses on the roads during dangerous weather conditions. Coaches and staff will communicate about after school activities if there is a need for them to be canceled today. We will let send out communications via Facebook and our website/phone app.

Announcement: Today the school had a strong odor in it. Students were taken outside for classes and recess time. Ameren gas company was contacted to make sure we did not have a gas leak. Ameren thoroughly checked all buildings. No gas leak was detected. Advance School's administration and maintenance staff have determined we have a possible sewer drainage issue. A plumber has been contacted to come to the school to assist with this issue. Due to the possible disruption of classrooms, Advance Schools will not be in session tomorrow, March 17th. This was to be a half day. This will not have to be made up. Repeating: Advance School will NOT be in session tomorrow, March 17th. We will still be out of school Friday March 18th and Monday March 21st. We will be back in session on Tuesday, March 22 per the school calendar. All Choir activities will still take place as scheduled. The junior high volleyball game is still on. Baseball and softball practices will still take place. Times to be determined by respective coaches. CTC will still attend. The bus will leave the school at the regular time. Please know that all safety precautions were taken. No students or staff were ever in danger. Hopefully this time off will allow us to correct the problem. We will post any updates if necessary.

Announcement: Advance schools had a strong odor coming from one of our classrooms. All staff and students were removed from the buildings while the gas company did a thorough check of all buildings. No leak of any kind was detected. At this time we feel there was a sewer issue and that had been contained to the kindergarten hallway. The school is taking appropriate actions to remedy the situation. At this time all students as back in their classrooms. The exception are the classrooms in the kindergarten hallway. Those classes have been relocated elsewhere in the school. I will post more update as I know them. The safety and well being of all of our students is our top priority. We will make all decisions based on the student and staff safety.

Here is the Board Adopted 2022-2023 Tentative School Calendar. Please remember the school calendar can be amended by the school board at any time.

Due to impending weather and forecast from the National Weather Service, Advance Schools will be dismissing at 1:30 pm today. This will allow time for our buses to make sure all students get home safely and all student drivers and staff have time to get home before the freezing rain or sleet begin. National Weather Service estimates the arrival of the freezing rain/sleet to be between 2-3 pm. Should your child have a transportation change, please call the school office as soon as possible to make this change. Any decision regarding school tomorrow will be made later this evening.

As I watch the weather tonight, we may be in for a rough day tomorrow. If the timeline holds and the weather moves in early tomorrow afternoon we may have to dismiss school early. Please make sure your student has a plan if school has to be dismissed early. Please communicate any travel changes early tomorrow. As always, we will post to KFVS, radio stations and to our Facebook and website with any school changes.
