Thank you for visiting our webpage. Please know that our first concern is for the health, welfare and safety of not only our school community but for our community at large as we work to stop the spread of the virus. 

Our  District’s direct hotline for students and parents requiring social and emotional support is: 314-345-6900 or studentservices@slps.org.

On March 21, 2020, Mayor Lyda Krewson and County Executive Dr. Sam Page announced stay-at-home orders aimed at preventing further spread of COVID-19. In light of these new restrictions and to help ensure the health, safety and well-being of students and staff, all schools in the City of St. Louis and St. Louis County, including private and parochial schools, have extended their closures through April 22, 2020.

We ask families to monitor our website for updates.
