Made By History
Families, please join us at Hixson on November 6 at 6pm for an event kicking off a community effort to crowd-source a children’s book about the incredible Black history of Webster Groves. This event features a children's author help us learn how to be story sleuths in uncovering local history, community historians and experts, packets with everything you need to get you going, and a play area for our youngest attendees. Then, you are invited to stay for a play written for young audiences based on Studs Terkel's bestseller, "Race." The 30 minute play will be most engaging for upper elementary age and older. We will provide snacks to help with dinner hour.

Arrival/Dismissal
We need your help to keep everyone safe at arrival & dismissal. We recognize that due to our location, parking and student drop-off/pick-up can be a challenge.
We give our students safety reminders every day at dismissal, but need your help as well.
We want to make sure everyone gets in and out of school safely. Please help us with the items below:
Please use crosswalks: We ask that students and parents please use designated crosswalks. Cutting across the street at other spots is dangerous with traffic in the area.
Please observe no parking zones: Please refrain from parking in the designated No Parking zones at the corner of Gray & W. Cedar. Parking in those zones limits the ability for traffic to make turns and makes it difficult to see people in the crosswalk.
Please pull forward: We know that this is easier said than done, but please try and pull forward as far as you can when dropping off/picking up. IF we maximize our use of the curb/sidewalk in front of the school things will move more quickly.
U-Turns: We ask that parents & caregivers please refrain from making U-turns in front of the school.
It's not always easy, but if we all work together on the above items, we can make the best of a challenging situation and keep everyone safe. We have had reminders in the Bulletin throughout the year. Webster Police Department may be helping us keep everyone safe by in the coming days with reminders and enforcement.
Thank you for helping us stay safe!
