SPECIAL EDUCATION RESOURCES

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 child’s 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 doesn’t need an evaluation, you can
request one by writing to the principal or to Alan Wheat, director of
Diagnostic Related Services, Special School District of St. Louis County, 12111
Clayton Road, St. Louis, MO 63131.
The Webster Groves School District has a Parent Advisory Council for
parents of children receiving special services. These parents meet regularly
with the Special School District regional director and area coordinators to
discuss services. They also receive regular updates regarding Special School
District Board of Education issues, upcoming events and other information. If
you would like to discuss special education services or the evaluation process
with another parent, council members are a good resource.
Rachel Valenti, Rebecca O’Loughlin and J.J. Gossrau are the point people
for the Webster Groves Parent Advisory Committee. Rachel Valenti can be
reached at rachelvalenti@yahoo.com. Rebecca O’Loughlin can be reached at
rebeccamichellelinz@gmail.com. J.J. Gossrau can be reached at jjgossrau@
gmail.com.
Catina Lyles is the district’s special education director. You can reach her
at 314-989-8277.

School History: STATESMEN

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
PRESCHOOL OPEN AT
HIGH SCHOOL
The Statesmen Preschool at Webster Groves High
School is open to children three years up to school age. It
operates Monday through Thursday mornings and children
can attend two, three or four days a week.
Parents can pay by the year or semester. The cost is
$330 a semester for four days, $245 for three days and
$175 for two days. The annual cost is $670 for four days,
$500 for three and $350 for two. Diane Stromberg, who
holds a master’s degree in early childhood education,
directs the program.
Parents can pick up and turn in applications at the high
school’s main office, 100 Selma Ave.

VOLUNTEER FOR OASIS

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-rate-increase bond issue, opened. The new wing
includes space for industrial technology, visual art, music,
social studies and science.
The Webster Groves School District is seeking adults to
volunteer with the Oasis tutor/mentor program, which
shares the gift of reading with young children. The
requirements are a love of children, willingness to commit
one hour a week to read and write with a child and the
completion of a training session.
The training sessions are held at First Congregational
Church in Webster Groves Aug. 15 and 16 from 9 a.m. to 2
p.m. For information, please call 314-961-1233.

Every teacher has a web page.

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.
Avery was named a Missouri
Exemplary Professional Learning
Communities School in 2017. It also
received a Bronze Award for its use of
Positive Behavioral Interventions and
Support.

The Walter Ambrose Family Center is the
home of the district’s preschool, parenting
support (FaCE), and before and after school
care (Adventure Club) programs (page 29).
Formerly known as Bristol Primary and ECEC,
the building’s name was changed in 2011 in
honor of Walter Ambrose, a member and
president of the Board of Education, a leader
in the African-American community, and an
early supporter of programs for young
children and their families.
The Preschool at Ambrose is a nationally
accredited, state licensed, and an award-
winning place of joy-filled learning for
children ages 2 – 5. Project Construct is the
state-approved curricular framework used,
while the philosophy and principles of the
Reggio Emilia Schools in Italy inspire the
work children and staff engage in daily. We
are committed to children leading both the
design of their learning and the spaces which
they will transform through their collective,
socially constructed learning. We are serious
about all things “academic” but how children
come to understand numeracy, literacy, civic
studies, fine and gross motor skills, and
social-emotional executive skills is ALL about
PLAY. Their creativity, curiosity, and
competency becomes apparent as they lead
their own learning with outstanding teachers
close by as facilitators and friends. Play is at
the heart of Ambrose and learning is the
outcome. Through our partnership with
Special School District, we meet the needs of
children with special educational rights while
keeping relationships, play, and joy at the
heart of the learning.
The preschool is tuition based, however
families may qualify for financial support
through a partnership with Head Start or the
Department of Elementary and Secondary
Education – just ask for more information.
The WAFC programs strive to create
welcoming and inclusive opportunities for all
family regardless of ethnicity, race, education,
nationality, family structure, abilities, and
income.
VISION AND BELIEFS:
The Walter Ambrose Family Center staff
are committed to a shared vision and beliefs
which hold us accountable to our mission.
VISION:
Children Transforming Their World.
BELIEFS:
· Children first.
· Children are curious and playful by
nature.
· Children’s understandings cannot be
hurried.
· Children guide our learning.
· Children show and share their
understandings in many ways.
· Children need deep human
connections.

PRIVACY RIGHTS ON STUDENT INFORMATION
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords parents
and students who are 18 years of age or older (“eligible students”) certain
rights with respect to the student’s education records. These rights are:
The right to inspect and review the student’s education records within 45
days after the day the school receives a request for access. Parents or eligible
students should submit to the school principal or appropriate school official
a written request that identifies the records they wish to inspect. The school
official will make arrangements for access and notify the parent or eligible
student of the time and place where the records may be inspected.
The right to request the amendment of the student’s education records
that the parent or eligible student believes are inaccurate, misleading, or
otherwise in violation of the student’s privacy rights under FERPA.
Parents or eligible students who wish to ask the school to amend a record
should write the school principal or appropriate school official, clearly
identify the part of the record they want changed, and specify why it should
be changed. If the school decides not to amend the record as requested by
the parent or eligible student, the school will notify the parent or eligible
student of the decision and of their right to a hearing regarding the request
for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will
be provided to the parent or eligible student when notified of the right to a
hearing.
PARENTS RIGHT
TO KNOW
The Webster Groves School District is required to inform parents of
information they have a right to know, according to the No Child Left
Behind Act of 2001 (Public Law 107-110).
Upon a parent’s request, the district must provide, in a timely manner,
the following information:
• Whether a teacher has met state qualification and licensing criteria for
the grade levels and subject areas in which the teacher provides
instruction.
• Whether the teacher is teaching under emergency or other provisional
status through which state qualification or licensing criteria have been
waived.
• Whether your child is provided services by paraprofessionals and, if so,
their qualifications.
• What baccalaureate degree major the teacher has and any other
graduate certification or degree held by the teacher, and the field of
discipline of the certification.
In addition to the information that parents can request, the district must
provide to each parent:
• Information on the achievement level of the parent’s child in each of the
state academic assessments as required under this part.
• Timely notice that the child has been assigned, or has been taught for
four or more consecutive weeks by a teacher who is not highly qualified.
REMEMBER THE
GOOD TIMES!
ALL OF OUR PHOTOS ARE
AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE.
JUST CALL 314-968-2699
The right to provide written consent before the school discloses personally
identifiable information from the student’s education records, except to the
extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent. Please see the
information below of disclosures that can be made without consent.
The district can disclose appropriately designated “directory information”
without written consent, unless you have notified the district in writing not to
do so. Directory information includes a student’s name; address; date and
place of birth; parents’/guardians’ names, home address, telephone number
and e-mail addresses; grade level; enrollment status (e.g., full-time or part-

attendance; degrees, honors and awards received; artwork or course work
displayed by the district; schools or school districts previously attended; and
photographs, videotapes, digital images and recorded sound unless such
records would be considered harmful or an invasion of privacy.
The district will release this information unless a parent or eligible student
(18 years or older) notifies the district in writing not to do so. Such notification
should be sent to John M. Thomas, student services director, Webster Groves
School District, 400 E. Lockwood Ave., Webster Groves, Mo. 63119.
Parents have the right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of
Education if they think the district is in violation of FERPA.
PARENT RIGHTS ON
STUDENT SURVEYS
AND EXAMS
The Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment, a federal law, affords parents
certain rights relative to collecting and using information for marketing
purposes as well as conducting certain surveys and physical exams of
students by the school district. Parents must consent prior to the district
conducting student surveys regarding certain “protected areas” if any
federal funding is used to conduct such survey, and parents must receive
notice and an opportunity to opt out of any other such survey, regardless of
funding source. Parents must also receive notice and an opportunity to opt
out of any non-emergency, invasive physical exam or screening, with limited
exceptions, or any activities involving collection, disclosure or use of
personal information obtained from students for marketing, selling or
otherwise distributing such information to others. For more information on
these parental rights, please see Policy JHDA which has been adopted by
the Board of Education of the Webster Groves School District.

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 6.0–7.5 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 there’s 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, you’ll
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
you’re sure it’s 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 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
home is unsafe.
• Use the telephone only to report life-threatening
emergencies.

VICC PROVISION
The Webster Groves School 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 advance the interests of both. A transfer student’s
attendance records and other educational records
relevant to the student’s 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.
