Welcome to January and the Weather!

Classes start this week – January 9, 10, and 11, 2024

Weather and Cancellations, oh my!

I know our students are ready to jump back into class this week. I am watching the weather carefully. It does appear that the snow/ice is going to miss most of the St. Louis area. However, we want to be prepared!

Cancelling for whole day before school starts:
1. Announcement will be made by 9 am, though earlier if possible.
2. Closure announcement will be sent by 1. email Newsletter (MailChimp). 2. Posted in Google Classrooms. 3. Broadcasted on KSDK (online and on air).
3. If in doubt, text Beth at 314 556 4725.

Cancelling in the middle of the day due to worsening conditions:

1. You will receive a phone call or text directly from a staff member letting you know about the new pick up time (younger students). For high school and Jr high classes, staff may ask the student to contact their parent/guardian directly.
2. Announcement will be sent by email Newsletter (MailChimp).
3. Other forms of communication, such as Google Classroom, may be used. However, our first priority is to reach every parent/guardian who has a student on campus as quickly as possible.

What about a late start?
At this time, Berea does not have a “late start” option. The schedule is quite complicated, which doesn’t work well with a change in starting times.

If it is unsafe for you to bring your child to school, we understand! Our families come from all over St. Louis with a variety of street access/service. It is imperative that you make the best decision for your family. If you cannot make it to class, please contact your instructor or Beth at 314 556 4725 (text only).

Annual Information Forms – REQUIRED

If it required that every student attending Berea fill out an Annual Information Form every year. Please fill out this form immediately. If you have completed the form, please ignore!

To Fill out the form, email BereaAcademyStL@gmail.com for the link.

100 Days of School!

On Wednesday and Thursday, the Wonder and Explore students will be celebrating the 100h day of school this year! Students are welcome to dress up as if they are “100 years old.” Students will do class activities celebrating the number 100 – especially in math class.

All staff and Berea students are invited to join in the fun! Explore 100 your way!
