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 WebsterKirkwood Times.
This years booklet contains the
2015-2016 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, innovative
programs, 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!

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 WebsterKirkwood Times.
This years booklet contains the
2015-2016 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, innovative
programs, 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 zerotax-increase bond issue, opened. The new wing includes
space for industrial technology, visual art, music, social
studies and science.

ABOUT AVERY
Grades: K-5
School Hours: 8:20 a.m. 3 p.m.
Known in its early years as Tuxedo

School, the building was named for
the Avery family in 1916. The Averys
were early settlers in the community
and it is likely that the school sits on
what used to be part of the Avery
farm.
A four-room frame school was built
on the present site in 1890. About
1902, a four-room brick building was
added to the frame structure. This

served as the school until 1915, when
the first six rooms of the present
school were built. From 1916 to 1920,
both the new and old brick buildings
were used.
Avery is noted for its strong
community support, high level of
parent involvement, high quality
reading and writing instruction,
before- and after-school clubs and

variety of learning-style options.
Avery, a Missouri Gold Star School, is
proud of its excellent staff and its
students high level of academic
achievement.

Becky Hauser, 314-413-0856
Holly Kunze, 314-882-2353
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.

History:
Known for over 50 years as Bristol
Primary, the Walter Ambrose Family Center
(WAFC) was renamed in June 2011 to reflect
the programming of the Early Years Education
Programs in the school district. Mr. Ambrose
served on the Board of Education for three
terms including one as president of the board
and was an early supporter of children and
family services.
Services:
The Ambrose Family Center offers an
award-winning
preschool
experience,
parenting education services through Family
and Community Engagement Program and
elementary age before- and after-school
care. The provision of a seamless continuum
of services for families in the district makes
our programs a comprehensive model for
early childhood programming that considers
a familys wide-ranging needs.
The preschool is accredited by the
National Association for the Education of
Young Children, is licensed by the State of

Missouri Bureau of Child Care Safety and
Licensure, and was honored as the No. 1 Early
Childhood Program in Missouri (2010-2011)
by the Missouri School Boards Association.
The AFC Preschool works in partnership
with the Special School District to support
the special rights of all children. The preschool
embraces inclusive education. A partnership
with Head Start provides quality preschool
experiences for families who qualify for
financial assistance. Additional financial
support is offered through the Division of
Social Services Child Care Assistance
program and limited scholarships are
provided by the program.
All of the WAFC programs continuously
strive to create a welcoming and inclusive
environment (opportunities) for all families
who seek to enroll in its programming
regardless of income, race, education, family
structure, nationality or abilities.
Mission Statement:
The Walter Ambrose Family Center
programs and staff are committed to the
shared vision: Children Transforming Their
World.
Our fundamental beliefs and commitments
are:
Children first.
Children are curious and playful by nature.
Childrens understandings cannot be
hurried.
Children guide our learning.
Children show and share their
understandings in many ways.

EARTHQUAKE SAFETY FOR MISSOURI SCHOOLS

The New Madrid Seismic Zone (NMSZ) extends 120 miles
southward from the area of Charleston, Mo., and Cairo, Ill.,
through New Madrid and Caruthersville, following Interstate
55 to Blytheville and on down to Marked Tree, Ark. 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
tremblers are not as frequent as in California, but when they
do occur, the destruction covers 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, Mo.).
There is estimated to be a 25-40 percent 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 2,000
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
1811-12 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 percent 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 baby sitters 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, rain wear, 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.

PROGRAMS FOR HOMELESS

with state and federal law and the Missouri state plan for
education of the homeless, will give special attention to
ensure that homeless students in the school district have
access to a free and appropriate public education.

FAMILY AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PROGRAM

(FORMERLY PARENTS AS TEACHERS)
The Webster Groves School District has been supporting
families with young children for over 30 years. The Family and
Community Engagement Program (FaCE) is an extended
support system to families. Services and programs are offered
in the home or by bringing parents together in child-family
spaces both at the Ambrose Family Center and throughout the
community. FaCE program experiences are led by caring
professionals and provide opportunities for parents/guardians
to learn new insights, gain an understanding of their child,
connect with others, and access information and resources.
The FaCE program helps parents/guardians with young
children (prenatal through age five) enhance their knowledge,
skills and confidence in being the best parent/guardian they
can be. FaCE is committed to creating meaningful relationships
that enrich the quality of life for children, families and the
community at large. Some offerings available include
developmental screenings, personal visits, parent cafs and
resource/referral.
The Ambrose Family Center has a commitment to advocate
for children and parents/guardians, ensuring a range of
consistent, quality services reaching families throughout the
Webster Groves School District community. We continue to
invest in re-visioning parenting education and support
programs and are excited to build a foundation for our families
with young children to thrive in these most important years.
Contact Laura Iannazzo, family and community engagement
coordinator, at 314-963-6440 or Iannazzo.laura@wgmail.org

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 States Environmental Protection
Agency. A report on the condition of each building and
the location of asbestos-containing material is available at
each building site.
