WELCOME FROM THESuPERINTENDENT

Dear residents of the Webster Groves

School District:

It’s my pleasure to present this latest issue

of the Webster Groves School DistrictDirectory, published in cooperation with the

Webster-Kirkwood Times.

This year’s booklet contains the 2013-

2014 school calendar, profiles of our schools, descriptions of

special programs, telephone numbers and other important

information. We’ve 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.

I’d like to thank the Times for producing this directory as well

as all of the local businesses that support this endeavor by

purchasing ads. I’d also like to thank the school community for

its strong support of public education. We’re looking forward to

another great school year!

School Histor: 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 thesecond floor. As enrollment increased, the high school used hallwaysand storerooms as supplementary classrooms.

In 1906, the district built a high school on Selma Avenue, a two-storybrick building with three classrooms and an auditorium. Front wingswere 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 roomand senior gymnasium.

Webster Groves High School was originally named Hamsher HighSchool 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 issueopens. The new wing includes space for industrial technology, visual art,music, social studies and science.

The Statesmen Preschool at Webster Groves High School is opeto children three years up to school age. It operates Monday througThursday mornings and children can attend two, three or four day

a week.The daily charge for the program, which operates in conjunctiowith child development classes at the high school, is $5. DianStromberg, who holds a master’s degree in early childhood educationdirects the program.

Parents can pick up and turn in applications at the high schoolmain office, 100 Selma Ave. For further information, please [email protected]

th nw madd Ss Z ds 120 ls shwad from the area of Charleston, Missouri, and Cairo, Illinois, through NewMadrid and Caruthersville, following Interstate 55 to Blytheville andon 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.th nw madd Ss Z ad sdg g s

av, avagg ha 200 asd vs p a (Magnitude 1.0 or greater), about 20 per month. Tremors largeenough to be felt (Magnitude 2.5 – 3.0) are noted every year. Thefault releases a shock of 4.0 or more, capable of local minor damage,about every 18 months. Magnitudes of 5.0 or greater occur aboutonce per decade. They can cause significant damage and be felt inseveral states.

th hghs ahqa s h ud Sas outside the West Coast is in the New Madrid Seismic Zone. Damaging tremblorsare not as frequent as in California, but when they do occur, thedestruction covers over more than 20 times the area due to the natureof geologic materials in the region. The 1968 5.5 magnitude Dale,

Illinois earthquake toppled chimneys and caused damage to unrein-forced masonry in the St. Louis area, more than 100 miles from theepicenter. A 5.2 magnitude earthquake in April 2008 in southeastIllinois, did not cause damage in Missouri, but was felt across much of the state.

A daagg ahqa hs aa, which experts say is abouta 6.0 magnitude event, occurs about once every 80 years (the last onein 1895 was centered near Charleston, Missouri). There is estimatedto be a 25-40% chance for a magnitude 6.0–7.5 or greater earth-quake along the New Madrid Seismic Zone in a 50-year periodaccording to the U.S. Geological Survey reports. The results would beserious damage to un-reinforced masonry buildings and other struc-tures from Memphis to St. Louis. We are certainly overdue for this typeof earthquake!

A aj ahqa hs aa - h ga nw madd ah-qa f 1811-12 was actually a series of over 2000 shocks in fivemonths, 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 itunfit 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.

Wh wll ah ga ahqa h sz f hs 1811-12 happ? Several lines of research suggest that the catastrophicupheavals like those in 1811-12 visit the New Madrid region every500-600 years. Hence, emergency planners, engineers, and seismolo-gists 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 simi-lar magnitude to the 1811-1812 New Madrid earthquakes over a50-year period to be a 7-10% probability.

Wha a w d p slvs? Education, planning,proper building construction, and preparedness are proven means tominimize earthquake losses, deaths, and injuries.

Prepare a Home Earthqake 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 tablewith one hand, and protect the back of the head with theother hand. If there’s no table or desk nearby, kneel on thefloor 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 foundationand other structural mitigation techniques.

- Bolt bookcases, china cabinets and other tall furniture towall studs.

- Install strong latches on cupboards.- Strap the water heater to wall studs.Prepare a Disaster Spplies 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, you’llneed 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 you’re sure it’s safe to exit. Stay away from windows.

- In a high-rise building, expect the fire alarms and sprinklers togo off during a quake.

- If you are in bed, hold on and stay there, protecting your headwith 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 dange

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 it’s 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 homeis unsafe.

- Use the telephone only to report life-threatening emergencies.

This rule required all public and private schools toinspect for friable and non-friable asbestos, develop asbestosmanagement plans that address asbestos hazards in school build-ings and implement response actions in a timely fashion.

The Webster Groves School District recognizes that the pres-ence of asbestos-containing building materials in schools consti-tutes a potential hazard to human health and the environment.
